component check

[ArumanBE]

Hi,

 

i did some research and i came up with the following components.
i'm cooling atm an intel core i5 - 4430 and an oc'd reference gtx 780.
I'll be mounting it all in my Cooler Master N200 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/87403-dark-ocean-update-2/ -> my build
For wat i have read a single 120 and a dual 120 rad would do the trick for cooling it all down.

CPU block: EK Supremacy copper/plexi with 2 UV LED
GPU block: Swiftech KOMODO-NV GTX 780
120MM radiator: Black Ice GT Stealth 120 Black
240MM radiator: Black Ice GT Xtreme 240 Black
Pump: Koolance PMP-500
Reservoir: XSPC Single 5.25 Bay Reservoir with UV LED
Fittings: Blue 10MM (3/8 ID - 5/8 OD) Monsoon compression fittings
Tubing: Primochill PrimoFlex Pro 3/8 ID - 5/8 OD Clear
Coolant: Primochill Pure Performance Coolant UV blue

For the fans i think i'll keep my corsair AF120 with blue LED's.

If you guy's have any remarks pls tell me. But pls do tell me WHY you would change it. Not just "Take this or this cause it's awesome" thx

CPU block: EK Supremacy copper/plexi with 2 UV LED - Are you sure the waterblock you picked is not a VGA block?
GPU block: Swiftech KOMODO-NV GTX 780 - It's not very consistent (in terms of design looks) with the EK waterblock but whatever looks good to you.
120MM radiator: Black Ice GT Stealth 120 Black - Stealth rads tend to be good at high RPMs, they are usually thin and high FPI.
240MM radiator: Black Ice GT Xtreme 240 Black - This is a good 240mm radiator.
Pump: Koolance PMP-500 - You should get a Laing pump, either a D5 or a DDC. They have a 5 year MTBF and are quiet. You will also have issues with the 3 pin header on this pump, as it needs to be plugged directly into the PSU.
Reservoir: XSPC Single 5.25 Bay Reservoir with UV LED - A reservoir just holds water, you can't go wrong here.
Fittings: Blue 10MM (3/8 ID - 5/8 OD) Monsoon compression fittings - Good fittings.
Tubing: Primochill PrimoFlex Pro 3/8 ID - 5/8 OD Clear - The primoflex pro tubing leaches plasticizer. Use the Advanced LRT version.
Coolant: Primochill Pure Performance Coolant UV blue - Nothing wrong with this coolant afaik.

 

Please grab a side on picture of your case an draw your loop into the case. Just use paint and add in rectangles where your components will be. A sinple diagram is sufficient. This will help with your loop plan and you can figure out how to route your tubing.

Thx for the fast and clear answer.

The CPU block is picked as a cpu block http://www.highflow.nl/water-blocks/cpu-blocks/intel/ek-supremacy-copper-plexi.html

The GPU block is indeed a bit odd i comparisson to the cpu block. An EK-FC780 GTX Acetal would be a better option i think.

Pump: i was looking at the D5 and DDC but the only ones i found where fitted with fittings other sizes then i'm gonna use tubing. Can you recommend a specific pump with G1/4 threadings?

The tubing i'll change thx.

Thx for the quick and good info.

This is basicly my plan.

You can buy a "pump top" for the D5 and DDC pumps.

seeing as you do not have the multiplier capability of overclocking, your system

radiator support would easily be a 240x 45mm or thicker to keep a nominal fan

speed for quietness and cooling performance. as for fans you can use the AF-series

fans, but the caveat is lack of air-flow trying to push it through a radiator. depending

on brand/model of radiator could make a big difference in performance of temperatures.

the BIX radiators use a high fin per inch and those AF fans will not deliver a mediocre

option for cooling. you'd have to look to Alphacool or XSPC (RX-series), Coolgate EK

or HL SR1 radiators for sub 15fpi options.

And wat about Yate-Loon fans? For wat i have read they r good for radiator use with high fin density. i can get those at a good price and they look pretty nice to.

You can buy a "pump top" for the D5 and DDC pumps.

After checking some websites i did came up with a D5 pump with EK top on it. And those have G1/4 threading. http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-d5-x-top-csq.html

Most if not all 3rd party pump tops have G1/4 threads.

 Y-L fans are quite inexpensive, but there are so many different options and types,

one could spend a fortune in getting the exact one for their system. but again, it

will depend on devices, hardware and noise level tolerance you might have.

well the intention of this loop is to make my build absolute silent while providing the best possible performance for my gtx 780. And i need to find them with blue led's on them just for the look of things.

But i think i need to do a bit more thinking on those fans then. Thx for the info.

That made me look deeper in al those liquid cooling components. Finding some realy cool stuff tbh. Makes me more doubtfull about other parts

anyway thx for the help. you realy put me on the right track here.
