It is what I am using.
I have the tx120+ tx240
I'm using Slim tophat on bottom but you still need to shave off 2-3mm of the spine to make the rad fit.
 
The tx240 is on top as passive.
I finished the build after 7 hours.
Will do some tests as soon as I can.
 

A common thing I think, the screws are too long but you fully tighten them and so you screw into the radiator. Does that reduce performance or could it leak?

If it hits the zig-zag metal, it wont do anything. If it hits the metal "bars" between the zig-zags, it could cause a leak.

Loving this so far!
Well, you can get the EK leak tester and test anything that will go into your loop
 
I seriously don't understand why noone on Youtube mentions it/uses it in their videos.
It was the first thing I bought when I started gathering parts for my first loop. I wouldn't fill a loop without using the tester first, and I found great deals on used parts that I only feel comfortable using thanks to the tester.
(For example I bought a used ~8 year old giant 3x3 rad and thanks to the leak tester I know that it is completely fine. I can also open a waterblock and make sure I put it back together correctly.)

Hello to the shy viewers.
 
I received my GPU waterblock in the mail today.
We'll packed and shipped from China the v.2 version of the Gigabyte gtx1070 g1 won't allow me to use any other waterblock on the market.
It looks well made , I sadly can't try it out yet. Cable sleeving pics to come soon .

I have been doing some research and thought after seeing optimum tech cable sleeving on the cheap video,That I will try it out.
 
I'll sleeve my cables and shorten them for ~40€ 
+Female ATX pins molex thingy. XD ( to replace the ones I'll cut off )
+Cable combs
+Black sleeving
+Brown sleeving to match noctua fans.
 
My case will be closed so nothing fancy but it will certainly improve airflow and personal satisfaction.
I'll order the parts today.
 
•The GPU has now been shipped from China ~20 days to go....
•Radiators are coming in the next week.
 
And the other stuff is not coming till another 2 weeks 😢 😢 ( delivery delayed cause pump out of stock ) 
 
the sleeving will be a good thing to occupy me whilst I wait .
 
 
Peace .

Hey all ! 
I have been waiting to watercool my PC for a while now and I finally bought the parts to do the transition.
 
My current setup is:
CPU: i5 7600k @4.4ghz passive cooled
CPU cooler: noctua l12s (hand bent to fit)
GPU : gigabyte GTX 1070 g1 gaming v.2
PSU : SF 600
Ram: 16gb something
I got a m.2 and a SSD 
 
2 Slim noctua fans on small tophat.
 
The parts I bought :
-radiator: tx240 crossflow rad (20.5mm thick)+xspc tx120 dual pass rad
-Pump: DC LT 2600 ( Saw on optimum tech review )out of stock every where 😢
-Reservoir: DC-LT 40
-CPU WB: EK-Velocity Intel - Copper + acrylic CPU water block
-GPU wb:Bykski Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1/1070 G1/1070 Ti Full Coverage GPU Water Block - Clear (N-GV1070G1V2-X) I have a version 2 graphics card and it's the only block I found for it, hopefully it's a good brand.
-alphacool fittings .
 
I mostly want to watercool just the GPU.
But got carried away when I bought the parts .
 
the plan is to cut the top grill to fit the crossflow rad without adding a top hat. 
I didn't want to add hight to the PC and spend 50€ just on a medium tophat.
 
While I wait for the parts i'm fooling around with my cpu cooling it passively @4.4ghz with the l12s Wich Made me realize I prob won't need the extra 120 rad I bought,unless I oc it back to 4.7 GHz 
 
In case I change my mind the 120 rad will be mounted on bottom with medium top hat
Cpu->120rad->GPU->pump->240 rad->CPU
 
 
 
I'll post pics as soon as I can 
Toodles ! 
 
 
 
 

The parts haven't arrived yet , so .. we ( mostly myself ) must be patient .. 
 

I'm in a push configuration for the fans so air is pulled in the case from the side grills and pushed out.
that is how I am able to be passive on the cpu 
 
EDIT:
- Yes, those are wine bottle corks 
- Yes, I need to do some dusting

I forgot to specify 1070 ti from gigabyte. 
I'll wait the response from gigabyte and ekwb .
 
That Chinese bykski has very little review and I prefer not buying it unless I don't find anything else.
 
 

As mentioned, adjusting your fan speeds may solve your issue with noise. If you do need to replace something, a new cpu cooler would probably make a much bigger difference in reducing noise than new case fans. 

Your temps aren't particularly high, and that fan curve is fairly aggressive. This will require some testing, but I would recommend that you experiment with fan curve. Like move the point when it goes max to 75C. And adjust rest accordingly.

tried gpt , tried mbr I don't think the problem is the installation but the boot process
