Beginner Water Cooler Setup?

[Nov845]

Hello, I'm considering water cooling my rig and was looking for thoughts on this setup.

 

Curent Setup:

Antec Three Hundred

AMD 3900X

ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

 

Proposed Water Cooling Set Up:
EK-CoolStream XE 120 (Single)

EK-CoolStream XE 240 (Double)

EK-Quantum Magnitude D-RGB - AM4 Nickel + Plexi

EK-Quantum Vector RTX RE D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi

EK-CryoFuel Clear (Premix 1000mL)

EK-DuraClear 11,1/15,9mm 3M RETAIL

EK-SBAY Dual DDC 3.2 PWM Serial (incl. 2x pump)

EK-DBAY D5 MX - Acetal

No need for so many pumps, just get one D5 or at the absolute most, two D5's for redundancy. You should get components for a drain port too.

EK's Magnitude is overpriced, unless you treat it as luxury and lean on its look. It does NOT perform better than velocity.

If you are willing to spend a lot on water block, there is a silver cpu block from aquacomputer. 

 

Using DDC pump on a loop with those radiator are a little overkill, in terms of their hydrallic pressure. If the fluid resistance is too little for your pump, it will result in higher risk of leaking.  D5 pump, on the contrary, are know for high flow rate + decent hydraullic pressure. 

 

And finally, if you have source to purchase radiator from Hardware Lab, they will surely amaze you.

So the EK-DBAY D5 MX with pump would be enough? I just wasn't sure if this reservoir volume would be enough, so I was thinking of using the DBAY D5 just as an extra reservoir and the SBAY Dual DDC 3.2 for the pump/reservoir combo.

Which Velocity do you think is best? I just went with the Magnitude because that's what EK's Configurator selected for maximum overclocking.

Do you think the DBAY D5 MX with pump would be enough reservoir for this build? I wasn't sure, so I got another reservoir for more volume.

Single D5 pump res will be more then enough, personally I don't recommend bay units since they tend to readily transfer vibration to the case a tube res and pump is a better option. Given the space you have since that case will also be your limiting factor for cooling(rads).

Full nickel yield the best performance by theory, but a plexi cover let you see through how much sediments builds up and warn you a major maintenance. 
If you are using clear coolant or even just distilled water, i will get full nickel .
