[8521546]

*im wondering about wow big/many radiators do i need if im going to watercool an gtx Titan and a intel 3770k?
 Or do i need one more radiator to cool the liwuid down?   

the radiator im talking bout -> XSPC RX240 Dual 120mm Fan High Performance Water Cooling Radiator

 

*bonus question:  do i fit 2x 12omm raiator in the front of a cm trooper? or do i have to remover the harddisc cage?

it depends how much overclocking do you want, how load do you want the fans to be, are you using good static pressure fans.

you can fit the 2*120 rad in the top of the trooper {might have clearance issues from the vrm cooler}

if you want that rad in the front of the trooper then yes you need to remove both drive sled's.

You can fit a 280mm radiator in the top of the storm trooper use one of those as appose to the 240 you want at the top.

 

If you want the build to be quiet you will have to install a 240 mm rad at the bottom of your case. You will only need to remove the bottom hdd cage afaik.

Either get a bay res and pump combo or mount it to the side of the case next to the motherboard. The pump can go at the bottom of the 5.25" bay area.

Just remember the pump must go above the waterline of the reservoir btw.

the higher is better? is it like that?

The reservoir always has to be above the pump. If at any point there is no liquid in the pump while it is on it will break. Therefore the reservoir must always be above the pump so the gravity pushes the water into the pump inlet.
