Questions about water cooling

Hello,

 

I am looking for a water cooling setup that will keep my pc cool always and that is very very silent. I intend on cooling the cpu and gpu (1 gpu) with it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Also, does the corsair 350d case support a liquid cooling setup?

 

Finally, can you recommend me a psu that will support such a liquid cooling setup? (One that is silent and fully modular)?

 

Thanks

If you want a SILENT PSU you probably need to buy a way bigger than need semi passive PSU so it won't turn on while normal usage, I recommend EK Waterblocks, but if you don't have the money try some AIO CPU Coolers with a bracket for a GPU.

CPU: Xeon 1230v3 - GPU: GTX 770  - SSD: 120GB 840 Evo - HDD: WD Blue 1TB - RAM: Ballistix 8GB - Case: CM N400 - PSU: CX 600M - Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo

You could set it up like this:

 

2x low FPI 240mm radiators

150mm Res/Pump combo

GPU and CPU blocks

Quiet fans on a fan controller (NB BlackSilent Pros are favourites of mine)

Corsair's RM and AX series both have a silent mode that will not spin the fan up until it's under a certain load. If you want it to be silent, you'll want to go for a higher wattage than what you need. 

 

This could all be done in the 350D if you plan it well.

Alright but what about custom water cooling setups? I am not interested in AIOs. And does the 350d support water cooling?

I don't know much about the available brands, so can you be more specific with the radiators, pump and blocks, i.e. can you recommend me models?

Custom Watercooling isn't hard to do, but you'll need to plan it pretty good, otherwise you'll end up with 1 fitting short or something. The 350D should be able to handle this, (240-280 Top,240-280 Front).

You can make anything fit if you mod it correctly!  ;)
