Very cool, perfect for game and movie night

Anybody?

Anybody?

What is the advantage of having dual loops? I always thought spreading to heat over as many radiators as possible (within boundaries) would be the best way to go. Not sure about fans yet, was thinking of going with corsair SP, like the look of those with the colored ring, my wife wants the lighted purple ones in her system. Can't stand the colors of the Noctua fan, unfamiliar with the silverstone fans. BeQuiet! is a good brand, have a Dark power cpu cooler in my current rig, just don't know how they compare to the rest. sPˊ!ˋKe

Hey guys, Put the plain-hardware question for my new system in the "New builds and Planning" part of the forum. Maybe I'll get some more advice on the water cooling part of my build plans in this part of the forum. Short recap of the abovementioned thread: will be building 3 systems in total, one server and two World of Warcraft multiboxing systems (One for me, one for the wife). System 1 (Server): Asus Maximus VII Impact Intel Core i7-4790K Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3-2400 Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB Corsair AX760i System 2 (Mine): Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme Intel i7 5960X Corsair Dominator Platinum 4 x 8 Gb DDR4-2666 CL15 - or - G.SKill RipJaws 4 x 8 Gb Kit DDR4-2666 CL15 Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB 2 or 3 EVGA GTX 980 Corsair AX1200i System 1 & 2 will bunk together in a HAF Stacker (915-935-915). System 3 (Wife): Asus X99 Deluxe Intel 5820K or 5930K Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4-2800 White 1 or 2 EVGA GTX 980 Corsair AX 760i Corsair Carbide Air 540 Silver Edition Plan is to custom water cool both system. Never water cooled before, so wait and see. For my wife's system I was planning to put an Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360 & an Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 240. The HAF Stacker, with the two systems in it, has room for 2 360s (60mm) and 2 240s (60 or 80mm) radiators. If there is sufficient room I'll do push-pull on the 240 radiators. I'll be getting EK Waterblocks all round (probably the hydro copper 980s), rigid tubing, Aquacomputer Aquastream XT pumps (will one suffice for the Stacker?) and an Aquacomputer Aquaero 6 to control it all. Will the radspace suffice to cool both system so they're quiet and overclockable? I choose the Aquacomputer Aquastream XT pump because I red they're very quiet and I can control them with the Aquaero 6, will one suffice in my system. Was thinking of getting Corsair SP fans for both systems, the purple lighted ones for my wife's rig, for my system I'd like to get some lighting I can turn of, preferably controlled by the Aquaero 6. Would also like some pointer to the rigged tubing part of the systems, like I said never custom water cooled before so it will be a challenge. What is the most common used tube diameter (mm please), best tubing brand, fitting-wise should I just go for the once that look best in my system or is there more I need to keep in mind, specific brand? Any other advice would be appreciated. sPˊ!ˋKe

Any advice on the water cooling, will it suffice in both cases? What about lighting, in my wife's case I'll go with lighted fans, in my rig I would like to be able to turn the lighting of, how would I do that? sPˊ!ˋKe

The Asus Maximus VII Impact is a mini-ITX board. Was planning on making some kind of build log, will at least post some pics of the finished systems. sPˊ!ˋKe

I like the thought of having both systems in the same case, and the HAF Stacker is build with that purpose in mind. One thread per WoW session is what I'm aiming for, 10-boxing I will definately do, and I'd like to keep the door open to go 15-boxing, maybe stream the entire thing, which mean the 5960X won't be a huge overkill (in my opinion). sPˊ!ˋKe

Time and money don't go well together. Money, enough to give myself and the wife a very well deserved treat. Time, not really, the well deserved part made sure of that. sPˊ!ˋKe

Hey guys, Background: My wife & I both like to play World of Warcraft, Multiboxing style. She plays up to 5 accounts, I've played both 5 and 10. 5-boxing brings my wife's rig to it's knees (on lowest setting), mine can handle 5-boxing (not perfect, but playable) but 10-boxing, even with CPU overclocking, is just to much to ask, both systems are at least 3 years old. So I'm planning for some new toys. While I'm at it anyways my old server needs an upgrade to, therefore triple trouble in the making. We're in Germany (for the time being). Budget: I've just given up having one, got blown and raised at least twice already. Storage: I'm still waiting for the bigger 2014 Synology NASs to be announced and released (1814+), there for no hard drives just SSDs. Monitors: she's got 4 , I've got 6. Peripherals: Logitech G13, G19 & G600. Goal: More power!!! & Silence. Here are the plans so far: System 1 (Server): Asus Maximus VII Impact Intel Core i7-4790K Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3-2400 Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB Corsair AX760i System 2 (Mine): Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme Intel i7 5960X Corsair Dominator Platinum 4 x 8 Gb DDR4-2666 CL15 - or - G.SKill RipJaws 4 x 8 Gb Kit DDR4-2666 CL15 Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB 2 or 3 EVGA GTX 980 Corsair AX1200i System 1 & 2 will bunk together in a HAF Stacker (915-935-915). System 3 (Wife): Asus X99 Deluxe Intel 5820K or 5930K Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4-2800 White 1 or 2 EVGA GTX 980 Corsair AX 760i Corsair Carbide Air 540 Silver Edition Gona custom water cool both system. Never water cooled before, so we'll see how that works out. Was planning to put an Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360 & an Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 240 with 5 Corsair SP fans in my Wife's rig. The HAF Stacker, with the two systems in it, has room for 2 360s (60mm) and 2 240s (60 or 80mm) radiators. If there is sufficient room I'll do push-pull on the 240 radiators. I'll be getting EK Waterblocks all round (probably the hydro copper 980s), rigid tubing, Aquacomputer Aquastream XT pumps (will one suffice for the Stacker?) and an Aquacomputer Aquaero 6 to control it all. Would you change anything, would the 5820K suffice in my wife's rig, what about my water cooling plans, please don't hesitate to elaborate. Would like to get some lighting in both systems, any ideas?. That's about it. Any other advice is off course welcome. Sorry for the long read. Thanks sPˊ!ˋKe
