Help with new water cooling setup

[naylak10]

So in my current system I am using water cooling for my cpu, but it's just an all in one by corsair. Currently nothing is overclocked, but i would like to do so soon, which is one of the reasons I would like to make my own custom loop. At idle, my cpu generally stays between about 38 to 45Cm, and my gpu is usually at 35-40C. The cpu temps seem a little high, maybe due to the low air flow, more silence optimized NZXT H440. This will be my first custom loop, so i need some help choosing the parts and what not. So far on my own i have found some parts that I think look pretty good that I'll also link. I would like to cool both the cpu and gpu, and use 2 triple 120mm rads. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

My System:

CPU: i7 4770k

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 ti Superclocked 3gb

Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Formula

PSU: Corsair HX750

Ram: 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600

Soundcard: Creative Soundblaster ZX

Case: NZXT H440

CPU Cooler: Corsair h100i

Fan Controller: NZXT Grid+

*All fans on case and cpu cooler are stock*

The new Noctua industrial fans look really good too.

 

Thanks!

Those Noctua Industrial fans are as such because they weren't made for people like you and me to throw in our gaming PCs. They were made for equipment like servers, machinery and such. Because of this, they aren't exactly that quiet.

I would suggest a different case. Not much air would be flowing through the radiators. To make your PC more quiet, you could just populate all radiators with fans and lower their speeds until you are comfortable.

You should check the mount on your CPU Cooler.

Yea I thought about that, but couldn't I just turn the rpm down to help with that. I just really can't stand the look of the original Noctua fans.

I thought about that too, but I just like this case too much. That's why I want to do a custom loop, to cool it as much as possible despite the cases poor allowance for airflow.

Tried that, it helped a little, but not alot.

Well, you don't have to buy Noctua fans. They aren't the best fans in the world, you know. Nor are they even the quietest.

Noiseblocker.

Should be stocked by NCIX....@LinusTech WHY DOES NCIX NOT CARRY NOISEBLOCKER! :C

If Micro Center would stock the damn things, I would be happy to pay the wait... $30 for an e-Loop? Wait, the PPC fans cost $30 each anyways. But yeah, for the most part, I would pay the money for e-Loops, while the only audible noise would be the wallet of a 16 year old kid weeping.

[TheDEFYANTonE]

What fittings? Barbs? Also, what reservoir?

LOL yeah

I'm going to have to order my e-loops from amazon.com and have them ship to some relatives i have in the states, then have my relatives deliver it to me or mail it even more expensive!

 

On your second point, this is why I get my parents to pay for my fans...

Does this reservoir look good?  http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_318_998&products_id=37002&zenid=dc84f02f01e896864a81249aceaf0e1a

I don't know about the fittings or barbs, any suggestions?

[TheDEFYANTonE]

That reservoir will work fine. 

 

I would do compression fittings, PrimoChill are nice, but I will be going with BitsPower, even though they are a little expensive.

What about Koolance?
