Tips for choice in Corsair 350D

[Dcorlisslai]

I am planning to do a water cooling setup for my PC.

First time I've seen a loop built off of NCIX, generally bay reservoirs and pumps are a very bad idea

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

you'll be hard pressed to get that alphacool UT60 240 in the roof of the Corsair 350D.

maximum would be a ST30 240 and UT60/Monsta in the front:

 

 

but the Monsta would not fit, due to the GTX 780 card used.

the 750 pump in your bayres is inadequate for a CPU/GPU loop. the pump (D5) in this

http://www.ncix.com/detail/xspc-d5-dual-bay-reservoir-b8-74412-1198.htm will do the job.

The Gpu's in the pictures are GTX 670's in SLI config.

the Reference PCB is 9.5" long while the GTX 780 has a reference PCB of 10.5"

so should it fit just fine ?

Revised:

Alphacool UT60 240mm Rad ($90)

Alphacool ST30 240mm Rad ($55)

EK Waterblock FC-GTX 780 Ti Waterblock + Backplate ($155)

Ek Waterblocks Coolant Fluid 1L ($15) X 2 

Swiftech APOGEE-XL ($70)

Swiftech 1/2" ID 3/4" OD Compression Fittings ($7 per piece) X 10 

Primochill Primoflex 10ft Clear 1/2" ID 3/4" OD Tubing ($20) 

XSPC D5 Dual Bay Res ($50)

 

These are all in CAD 

 

If you say NCIX is not a good site for these pats, what website is good for getting watercooling parts in Canada ? And is cheaper and better service ?

This is my FIRST watercooling build so yeah

You could check how much it would cost to ship from FrozenCPU.com. Great parts! Personally I'd go with a tube res/ pump top combo.

ok,

The Compression fittings are $1 more expensive per piece

Res/pump is $100 more -.-

ST30 is out of stock but $10 less

Coolant is $1.50 more

 

On second thought, shipping it from the US will cost me the extra $50 i saved so its not worth it

The increase on the res/pump is out there, but the rest sounds good. A few days wait for the ST30 shouldn't be a problem. NCIX is in no way a bad website though, you could just order everything from there or get the cheaper stuff from FrozenCPU. However you see fit.

well the shipping costs $40 with UPS but then it also says that i may be taxed up to 75% of the cost of the shipped equipment ....
