I am considering to go straight water cooling using you guess it, acrylic tubing, I however, would like insights, what you have found most useful, any ideas as to what you do for your bends.

I have a great case and I plan to upgrade my Hardware (mb and cpu) to the Asus x99 ws board and the intel 5960x, I plan to use my current gpus and just stick the waterblock on it, 

 

the point of this thread is I would like to know what pumps you all would recommend, for a single loop and multi loop. I have not determined if I would be going to use a multi loop or just use only one pump.

any ideas on how you would go about the drain/fill ports.

 

let me kno

thanks

Do single loop, with two D5 pumps in series. Use bitspower fittings and acrylic tubing, and EK waterblocks and resevoir.

Also if you don't already, watch SIngularityComputers on youtube. You will learn a ton of watercooling stuff from this awesome guy.

Unless you're doing a huge loop, I you won't really need a dual loop other than for redundancy. If your loop isn't overly complicated, you'll be fine with a single Laing D5 will do.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

There is no need for dual loops other than aesthetics.

The reason you want two D5 pumps in series in one loop is for redundancy like you just said ;)

If one D5 fails there is still the second that will be moving liquid through the loop until you get a replacement pump.
