Final questions on gear selection

Hello every one,

 

I've come today because I need confirmation for some of the watercooling gear I'm about to order.

 

I want to watercool my EVGA GTX 1060, I've found this waterblock but there is not much info on the website :

Bitspower Nvidia GTX 1060 Reference Acrylic (Clear) BP-WBV1060RD-H-RGB  https://www.bitspower.com/html/product/pro_show.php?products_id=5336

Is this block cooling also the VRM and RAM (looks like) ?

Is this block "metal compatible" with the rest of my gear (full copper rads Alphacool 280+240 Monsta + CPU block EK-Supremacy EVO - Full Copper) 

 

I've selected this combo reservoir+pump :

EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 PWM (incl.pump) - Glass https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-100-glass-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pumphttps://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-100-glass-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump 

Is it OK for this loop ?

 

I've selected these fans for low FPI rads :

Noctua NF-A14 ULN for the 280 rad

Noctua NF-S12A PWM for the 240 rad

 

Give me all your comments about this selection.

 

Many thx for your help

Folk.

better get a 1070 than water cooling your current GPU

get zotac gtx 1070 amp extreme

i have it and it has the best air cooler. its also very silent

and you can easily overclock past 2 ghtz

Thx for the reply, le GC selected is mainly for it size and for the dual DP.

I'm not going to do games with this build.

 

The watercooling solution is for a extremely silent and quite heavy CPU overclocked configuration.

 

I know that with this card it's not necessery to watercool it.

The thing is that I don't see the reason to build a custom loop if you only watercool the CPU and there for, why not cool the graphic card with it.

Just a few words about this build.

I've learned that 10bits color depth cannot be obtained by "normal" graphic cards. Since this rig is a Photoshop / Indesign / Illustrator professionnal workstation, I've changed my GC config to a Radeon Pro WX 5100. Since no one is building a complet waterblock for this card I've order a universal VGA : EK-VGA Supremacy - Acetal with RAM passiv heat sinks. I think this will do the job since the card is not a great power consumer...

 

For the fans I've ordered the noctual so we'll see...

For the pump/reservoir, I've asked some resellers here if they can have this model, if not I go for the plexyglass version.

 

I've just received the tubing today... Man the EK-Tube ZMT Matte Black 19,4/12,5mm is very stiff, but look's great.

A D5 pump can handle that and much more.
