What all are you cooling? cpu,Gpu,ram,chipset,mosfets and what have you? and what is the budget?

 

What size rads do you want? How many do you want?

 

What kind of res do you want?

 

we need all the info

[Ghost]

What you need to do before you do anything is read the two stickies at the top of this forum section: the FAQ and the 101.

 

Then pick the parts out yourself and we can go from there and guide you further as to whether parts you picked were good or bad.

I'll be cooling the CPU and Mosfets.

The sky is the limit on budget just anything between $1000

For Mosfet cooler

Get a d5 pump

 

The 140 rad is ridiculous in a 900d, there's no reason to put anything other than a fan there.

 

Get a thicker 360 radiator and that will be quieter (and PLENTY of rad for just a cpu and mobo).

[Ghost]

What you need to do is make a bullet pointed list of your parts. Otherwise I am all over the place trying to find your components. Having everything in one place, not just a shopping cart means people reading this thread in the future when that shopping cart is deleted for example can still see your parts.

 

Also make a diagram of your loop, its important to visualize your loop.

[X1XNobleX1X]

My list has been updated on the top of the page.

Thank you Ghost.

Thank you Ghost. 

Still need that diagram.

 

To do this simply grab a 2D side on snap of your case. (Just type your case name into google images and scroll down a bit till you find one, it should be there.) Then go to a photo editing program and simply put rectangles where you would like to place your radiators, blocks, reservoirs, pumps and tubing. For blocks use blue, for radiators use red and anything else use grey and for tubing use orange/brown lines with an arrow to point out the intended flow direction of your loop. There is no need to put fans in. This forum has an upload function or you can use an image sharing site and embed the picture into your post. This is an example of this from my personal loop: http://i.imgur.com/MynbfCp.jpg

Not  actually sure how well this loop would be.

Why don't you utilize the massive amount of space int he bottom compartment for that radiator?

 

You can also route tube int he back plate int he 900D. Just make sure you don't cross any wires in the back plate.

 

Try again.

Thanks, that's a great idea. Maybe a another  360?

That's what most people do with the 900D, with the fittings towards the back of the case at the top.

[X1XNobleX1X]

Revised version put another 360 in the bottom: The darker red means it's behind the case.

I'll help you out a bit:

 

[X1XNobleX1X]

That looks great, now for the parts what do you guys think?

[Ghost]

All your parts are good. Just remember to get the female part of the QDC and also get a couple of liters of coolant.

 

I also recommend a pump top for the D5; any top is fine, its just so you can use your own fittings for it.

[X1XNobleX1X]

I think the last problem I'll have is the different fittings. I think I'v chosen completely different fittings

Link me to your choice.

 

I may not answer today because I need to sleep. I'll answer in the morning if someone else don't by then. Quote me in your reply so I get notified.

Are all G1/4 compression fittings the same?

 

Not sure if this fitting: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/accessories/fittings/compression-fittings/for-12mm-7-16-id-tubing/ek-csq-fitting-12-16mm-black.html

No they aren't. The two you picked aren't compatible.

 

If you look at the dimensions of the tubing where it says 1/2 3/4. Your fitting needs to have the same dimensions. The one you picked was 7/16 5/8.

O.k that's fixed. I had to add another 1/3 to 1/4 extender.

Also another question.

As you provided me with a alternative route.

You see where I have highlighted with a purple box. Wouldn't the tube be going over the graphics cards? How would this look good/bad.

Last thing what is your opinion on colored coolant?  Red coolant would be good, but if it's going to clog up I'll change to colored tubing.
