Upgrading to Water Cooling.

[GRUNGy]

Hello everyone
Im about to upgrade my computer to water cooling.
I reccently added a second graphic card to my beast and well the heat goes up in the case and the h100i that is on top is just being over heated, resulting in a not really good cooling of the CPU.
It used to never go above 40°. for the graphic card it used to not go up more then around 50 now for the top one we reaching the 80.

So i made the decision to just put everything under water cooling.

 

My spec is:

Case: 350D
2x Asus GTX 780 dc2oc
i7 4770k

Picture of the actual setup:


Yes i like it thight, who doesnt ?
 

So here is what i thought i should get:

CG WATERBLOCK x2 :

CG BACKPLATE x2 :

RADIATOR x2 :

PUMP / RESERVOIR:

And i would mount it this way: 


I already have fans from corsair 2 on top, 2 in front and oen at the back.


So i would love if you guys could tell me if im wrong somewhere.

ALso i am unsure about the liquid, i want some transparent tubing i think with some red liquid.
And for all the lil pieces to connect the tub, i havnt look into it yet.

What do you think guys ?

where are you going to put your storage drives? other than that looks ok, you might want to check the thickness of the rads though, against the clearance from your motherboard

"50°C overheating", yeeaaah....

What is a ALIM?

[Luckris]

looks like it will work out ok. Just make sure everything fits if you don't want to mod anything.

He can put them into 5.25" bay with 3.5" to 5.25" mount.

Looks good, make sure you have some nice pressure optimized fans for those high fpi rads. Why not get an acetal cover ek supermacy for the CPU to match with the GPU blocks?

[GRUNGy]

Well for the Hard Drive im going to get a NAS, and for the SSD ill find a way to attach it somewhere in the tower, im not to bothered by it.

And about the fitting, yes the space at the front is reaaaallly thight, i did do a bit of mesurement and it should fit. This is why i go for flat RAD and that reservoir cause its a thin one.

I checked a lot of pic and i think this one is the closest, eventho is reservoir seems thicker and his graphic card a bit shorter:


And my alim is the AX860 corsair.


I was also wondering if the fan at the front of the case should push the air out of it or bring it in, cause i was thinking if it push the air thru the RAD at the front, the air will be warm then it goes in the cazse and will again go up in the RAD on top, or thats fine ?

Well im not sure i woint get bored of the lil circle design on it,  while on the GPU its not showing as its under. and the backplate on top is all clean. so i think ill just go for an overall clean look.

Get the clear one..

What about the liquid or all the lil pieces to link the tubes, any recomendation ?

I had a pretty similar setup in an h440.  I used BP compression fittings with 3/8 x 1/2 tubing, though they do increase your budget quite a bit over barbs.  Flow is great.  The EK pump top is much larger than it seemed when I got it, and right now I actually have it hovering over my gpu...

looks good, as for fans get some noiseblockers,noctuas or  Air penetrators
