I will be overclocking for sure, but i will not go extreme unless my gpus are in a place where they cant play a game properly or the FPS is too low.

Caselabs is not a problem in case of rad size, i can fit 560 down and 480 up so i have a lot of rooms in the case that is why i asked how much rads i need

Well, it seems that i will go with a 560 rad instead(by saying 5*120 you mean 1 rad? or 2 rads 1 360 and 240?), and i am thinking of buying the caselabs Magnum SMA8 so i will have alot of room in the case for future updates. Now the thickness of the radiator, how much it differ? And what kind of good fans would you recommend?, i am thinking of corsair sp120 and Noctua NF-P12 but its very expinsive. Thanks a lot you gave me enough info to make up my mind, thanks again.

After reading that, i am considering even installing 1 rad 480 120.4 instead of installing two rads, because what i was thinking of doing is that i add 2 rads, when the water go out from the pump it goes to 480 rad to cool the gpu, from the gpu to the CPU rad 360 then to the cpu then to res but it seems like a stupid loop to me now, i only want to keep my temps as low as possible since the temp in the room without the A/C turned on is a bit hot so this is why i considered installing 2 rads, but since the 2 loops are a bit complicated to me, even if i plan it more and not rush in to it i don't want to make 2 loops, one loop should be enough and i am not planning on spending money on things i will not have benefit from. So i need your opinion, in future i might considering making SLI or maybe even wait for the AMD R9 390x but for now no news about it and how much heat it produces so what i want to buy is for the long run, my old PC witch i am using now is 7 years old now, my point is that i don't do regular upgrades to my PC, this is why i am buying all the stuff now so i don't keep adding up later, so tell me your recommendation. And regarding the splitting first i meant for the loops, for the drain i think it should be fine.

Again i thought about the caselabs SMA8, but since i am considering running cpu+gpu on 1 rad 480 i see that i dont have to buy the SMA8 but in the other hand i like it a lot, and if i bought the caselabs SMA8 i don't have to send again on a case since i don't see any other case that can mach its level, regarding the 2 rads its because i care about the temp so much so thinking that each one have a rad would be more better in terms of temps even when overclocking, but i might consider just buying a one 480 with thickness of 60Mm and let it run in 1 loop for the CPU+GPU, i know that 2 rads for a cpu plus single gpu is overkill but will it affect a lot in the temp? Also regarding the splitter i read that they also do it for drain and fill from the radiator, the drain i understood it but the fill? i always thought that the filling is usually start from the res.

Thanks alot, saw it before and and was indeed useful, now what i am concerned with is how i will be doing the loop with 2 rads, the upper rad will be 120.3 (360) for the CPU and 120.4 (480) in bottom for the GPU so how will i make the loop with single res and pump? i was reading and i read something about slitter to split the tubes and then rejoin them before going to the res? help please. Thanks.

I think i chose a Res that fits a D5 pump witch i wasn't planning to do, here is normal res without pump top, http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-water-tank-z-multi-200-v2-clear-body-pom-version.html#Details if anyone have better ones or recommend others please tell me. And regarding the case it seems i will be getting the 900D since the local store sell it and i cant afford a lot to pay for SMA8+shipping charges.

How will i be doing the loop for 360 for cpu and 480 for gpu using 1 res and 1 pump?

From my understanding that this will fit just fine with my cpu block and the tubing if i will be using 1/2 ID 3/4 OD? http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-csq-fitting-13-19mm-g1-4-nickel.html#Specifications because here the thread size is G1/4 And for tubes: - Inner diameter: 12,7 mm (1/2") - Outer diameter: 19 mm (3/4") so if i take a bunch of these fittings for all my stuff it should be fine right? or there are things i have to watch out for?, I will be ordering: - EK-SUPREMACY EVO CPU WATER BLOCK (ORIGINAL CSQ) - FULL NICKEL - EK-CSQ FITTING 13/19MM G1/4 - NICKEL (x10) - ALPHACOOL NEXXXOS UT60 FULL COPPER 480MM (for gpu) - ALPHACOOL NEXXXOS UT60 FULL COPPER 360MM (for cpu) - PRIMOFLEX ADVANCED LRT TUBING - 1/2IN. ID X 3/4IN. OD - CRYSTAL CLEAR (x4) - SWIFTECH MCP655 G3/8" THREADED EDITION 12 VDC D5 PUMP WITH SPEED CONTROLLER (still don't know the specific fittings for it as they gave me option to choose so i chose non because i will be using the EK fittings.) - Regarding the Res i still haven't decided witch one and i am willing to install the tubing res, i saw that http://www.performance-pcs.com/primochill-ctrtm-compression-tube-reservoir-system-phase-2-d5-enabled-240mm-clear.html but from the website i saw that it comes with rigid fittings so i don't know if this will work with standard tubing or its only for rigid tubing? please help, thanks.

I am ordering all the stuff from performances-pc for now, so i chose EK-Supremacy EVO CPU Water Block (Original CSQ) - Full Nickel and it asked me for choosing fittings, the standard fittings witch i don't understand, the sizes are not the same as in the tubing, please someone explain to me this if possible. lets say i will be using 1/2 ID 3/4 OD, in the fittings they didn't have that in the list. http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-supremacy-evo-cpu-water-block-original-csq-full-nickel.html

Budget: Around $3500 Location: Bahrain, planning to buy stuff from amazon and performances-pc Color: Black, but for the color of water planning on sun yellow.

Hi I am planning on building a new rig since mine is now 7 years old so its time to change, here are the specs that i am planning to go for: CPU: Intel i7 5930K GPU: EVGA GTX 980 (only 1 for now, planning on SLI in future) Case: Caselabs SMH10/Magnum SMA8 or Corsair 900D The caselabs would cost me around $685 including the shipping charges, and the corsair is $450 from local retail place. PSU: I already have Ultra X3 modular PSU and planning on using it for this build, its 1000W Monitor: Still waiting for the new ones to be released, IPS 27 inch g-sync perhaps. 2K res. HDD: 3TB WD Black. 1 Samsung 850 pro 256GB RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4 2666MHz (PC4 2666) C15 So i did alot of research regarding the parts of WC and btw i am new to water cooling so this will be my first time to do it, i am planning on doing soft tubing since this is my first time, so what concerns me is the radiator, for now i am planning on getting 1 only witch is 480 for cpu+gpu, but if the future i will be doing SLI of both 980 so will the 480 handle? and sure i will be overclocking. or i get 480 for GPU and for cpu i get 360? Regarding the rest of the parts i honestly don't see much of a difference its all about personal taste, i saw some good cpu and gpu blocks from EK and for the rads alphacool are good also, but for the tubing size, this is what i don't know a lot about, what size that will fit my needs and what fittings (planning on transparent tubes), from witch brand, i saw alphacool fittings seem to be good of course planning on buying the compression ones. As of the res i like the tubing res, i am not planning on getting a bay res, and the pump is D5, also regarding the pump, if i added SLI will i have to put 2 pumps and 2 res? for example 1 for CPU and 1 for GPUs(not planning on going for more than 2 cards)? So please any advice and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I am also planning on doing WC and for now i will include in the loop are cpu + gpu and i am thinking of going with a 480 rad for both but i dont know if it will handle for an SLI of 980.
