Hello,

 

I'm water cooling my rig and I would love some clarification on a few things. 

 

Parts in loop

*Cpu

*Two graphics cards

*Motherboard (Debating if this is necessary)

 

Case - Phanteks Enthoo Pro

 

Proposed mounting positions -

*Top - Up to a 420mm

*Bottom - Up to a 240mm

 

Would a 420mm in the top work?

Would splitting up the radiators in another configuration work better?

 

The Enthoo Pro does allow for a reservoir mount on the HDD cages but I would like to take those out to keep clear airflow for the 200mm front fan so I've decided to go with a dual bay pump/reservoir combo

 

Would something like the XSPC x20 DC-750 be a good pump combo for the system?

Should I choose a different pump combo?

Or should I ditch that idea and get a dedicated reservoir for the HDD cages? 

 

I would love any insight!
Thank you!

The only cons I saw about bay combos are regarding the filling process. Apparently, it's not user friendly.

 

I don't know which tube diameter you'll use, but 2 radiators, 3 blocks, MB blocks; you have a lot of flow restriction here, maybe a D5 vario combo ?

 

XSPC has two types of combos, bays and reservoir. I got the reservoir and it's solid, and pretty silent because the mounting system is very good.

 

Regarding your case, you could remove the HDD case and mount a pump/res combo without any difficulty, and you'd preserve the 200mm fan airflow.

A 420 would be enough for some decent OCing.And as mentioned above,bay res combos are not that reliable.I recommend using something else.Also please use full cover waterblocks on your GPU.Don't cool the motherboard,just don't.Make sure you have some case fans installed blowing air on your parts as well,please don't do the "NO CASE FAN" mistake.
