Since I am here, is there any Pumps, tubing or fittings you have had good experiance with for me to use?

Looks like if I can hang fire for a bit and collect my other key components I could get a super quiet and efficient 200mm watercooling setup

Just looked at Noctua making a Pressure optimised 200mm fan.... This could be a new generation of overkill massive radiators xDDD http://noctua.at/en/noctua-at-computex-2016

A 420 won't quite fit I checked. ;( So sad. I need to look into the Phobeya xtreme some more, just not much info on it. And US sites are mainly not working here and redirect me...

W-L Can you tell me which of width or length is more important. I will be using 30mm thickness or 45, I don't care about thickness as the main thing is I want it to not only function like a dream but look good as I am planning on using it as an example PC to many others thinking of watercooling and the sort of optimisation of layout you can use. Also can you tell me how good the 200mm bitfenix spectre pro fans are: https://www.amazon.co.uk/BitFenix-200mm-Spectre-PRO-Fan/dp/B0067LYYI0

Also forgot to add is width or length more important aka would a 360 be better than a 280 for me and why? I know about the thickness it was supposed to say width ops. But thank you anyway the info is allways helpful

I have heard of the Phobya Xtreme 200mm and Xtreme 400mm. I have never heard of anyone using them hence why I came here. There is a large community here and I would expect at least a few members to know about these rads and more importantly where to get them. I live in the UK but I can ship if needed.

Why a 360mm? is it more efficient to have a long thin rad, I am planning on getting at least 2 bitphenix 200mm spectre pro's for a 200mm rad But I don't know if that would be more or less efficient than just using 3 120mm fans? btw I would run fans at 50-60% speed as that I find is best for a balance between noise and performance. Also what thickness should I use, with the fpi I will not be using very high as I know that high fpi would just cause the air to divert because of the side gaps.

Hi guys, I was wondering whether I should get a 400x200mm, 360mm or 280mm radiator or other for the top of my phantom 630 case, I have currently got 3 200mm fans in it and a PUNY EVO 212 cooling my 4.4Ghz i7 5820k. Also I will probably have a radiator in the front as I want to try to keep the fan speeds down even though I am adding my GPU('s, may add another for some sick crossfire). Just as a note somehow my little 212 keeps my CPU at a comfortable 50C at 100% load and GPU sits at 60-70C under heavy load with 70% fan speed. although I only hit 100% while rendering for like 30 mins or less and my room has great ventilation, 2 air vents + window. The part list is as follows, Cpu + cooler mentioned above, Case mentioned above also, Sapphire R9 390 Nitro (OC'ed with stock cooler ATM, going to be adding a waterblock), MSI X99A SLI Plus, 1x 500GB Samsung 850 EVO, 1x 2TB Seagate 7200RPM Baracuda HDD, 4x 4GB HyperX XMP Predator 2400Mhz 12CL Ram (OC'ed), HX750i 750W Platinum Corsair PSU Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have never watercooled before. This is my first pc build and I would like it to basicly stay the same for a few years with minimum changes except usual maintinance of running a watercooling setup.
