Water Cooling Setup Question

[eutholevonik]

Hey everyone! 

 

I'm new to the forums and have been planning to go water cooling for some time now.  (finally getting around to it)  

 

Here is my setup

 

case - phanteks enthoo primo

cpu - 4770k

gpu - evga gtx 780 superclocked (plan on adding another 780) so 2 gtx 780s

 

Water cooling parts

 

cpu - ek supremacy

gpu - ek full water blocks

pump - mcp655

probably going with noctua fans

 

I want to get this build as silent as possible while keeping it as cool as I can.  I will be overclocking the cpu and gpus; I also live in Texas so ambient temperature can get pretty high.

 

On to the questions

How many radiators should I run and what sizes? My case is huge and has all kind of options.

I was thinking 2 360mm alphacool xt45s or is that overkill?  Also would the pump be able to handle oc cpu, 2 oc gpus and 2 360mm rads with a good bit of tubing?

I'm open to any suggestions on cpu and gpu blocks as well.

 

Thanks!

Get Scythe Gentle Typhoon fans and no radiator setup is overkill if you are doing a lot of OCing. (to an extent lol)

No rad setup is overkill! More rads = quieter and cooler. In your case 360 + 240 would be the starting point, the more you are willing to add to that the better, so 2x 360 would already be pretty nice, giving you great over clocking and sound levels.

Scythe Gentle Typhoon run pretty quiet?  Haha ya I guess, hell I could even put 2 480mm rads in my case.  You think the mcp655 pump can handle the 2 360mm rads or a little more.

yes you can:

 

 

or get freaky and add another 240

 

 

or be obnoxious with a 360

Haha I don't think I'll get that crazy with it, nice knowing I have the option though.  I guess max I'll do 2 480s or a 480 at the bottom and a 420 at the top,  as long as I would still have good flow.

I have an mcp 655 with dual 480mm rads, it works still has enough flow at the #1 speed on it.  

 

Also, scythe gentle typhoons are hands down the quietest fans I've ever used,   (tried noctua too)
