Some 'DIY stand' i made for my GPU block. If there is one thing i hate, its sagging (GPU's i mean...)

Currently:
 
Xonar Essence STX RCA line-out > HQ RCA cable > Schiit Magni 2, RCA in > Headphone.

Phanteks cases in general, are far superior to NZXT ones. They offer great quality, packed with a lot of accessories for very decent prices.
 
A no brainer in my opinion, go for the Phanteks.

I still have a 540 myself, very satisfied. 
 
The dual chamber design makes up for great airflow, very clean cable management and it looks very clean as well. It's build quality is good, but if you want even better build quality then look into Phanteks cases. All though I don't think they're known for their airflow, which you specificly search for.

For a single CPU and GPU loop a 420mm rad would be more than adequate to cool all of that even when heavily overclocked. In terms of routing though order of the loop doesn't matter as long as the res is above and right before the pump. 
 
As for your fittings it depends on what type of tubing your doing if your either going with soft tubing or hardline, in both cases though the ID an OD need to match for both the tubing and fittings.

thanks! Im buying them, Hope they sound as good or better than my old audios!

Order doesn't make a difference in terms of performance, as for rad space a 280mm would be the absolute bare minimum, ideally a 360mm but with the new cards being very low power it wouldn't have much problem.

That's soft tubing done right! Looks great. And I agree with the ZMT from EKWB - it really is an awesome product. Remember to flush it before use as stated on the packaging.

EKWB offers a great lineup of complete custom watercooling kits. Great quality products, nicely priced and no hassle of collecting everything yourself/worrying if everything fits etc...
 
A great option for someone who first dives into custom watercooling.

Mwa, i agree it's quite a bit of radiator space but both the CPU and the GPU are heavily overclocked, don't underestimate the heat they can dump. Usually rule-of-thumb is 120mm radiator space + 120mm overhead for each component. In my case that means 480mm, with 600mm i have 120mm extra

There you go, SweetFX at 4k, SMAA on Max.

Its not much faster than the 980Ti atm.

Too much misinformation in this thread.
 
1080 without throttling is only 2% faster than a factory overclocked 980 Ti
A 1080 throttled to 1607 Mhz is 10% SLOWER than a factory overclocked 980 Ti
Overclocking a 1080 to 2 Ghz+ barely increases performance, only 1-2 extra fps and no where near as much gain as OCing older GPUs.
 
1080 throttles to 1607 Mhz within 5 minutes when placed inside any PC case and used to run a video game due to reaching 85 degrees.
 
Reviews online rarely show this scenario because they have reviewed and benchmarked the card in an open test bench.
 
Knowledge is power, please do your research on the 1080 first, all the above information is already posted on this forum in current threads.
 
*Please note that these results are only a problem with the crappy founders edition. You will want to wait for decent third party designs with beefy fansinks that can maintain the boost clocks while gaming, or watercool the reference design.

I'd wait for the AIB GTX1080's to release, the current GTX1080FE is a joke of a card, not even worth half its price. It gets way too warm, downclocks within a few minutes and will be as loud as a Boeing.
 
Wait and see if the aftermarket/custom designs are better and actually worth the cash. Don't let the insane pascal hype fool you yet.

Yep, only fools would get the founders edition lol.
