Dual 240's is not overkill. :) 

 

Good parts, the Alphacool Apogee XL blocks is supposed to be cheaper (unless you were planning of utilizing the 4 port feature of the HD).

 

Personally I'd put a 280 UT60 in the front but maybe that won't work if you need your drive cages. Also bay reservoirs can be a pain to bleed/drain.

 

What components are you cooling? What exactly do you need help with in terms of setup?

 

Loop order doesn't matter too much, you just need res above pump. A good loop order for clean tubing runs would be: res > pump > GPU > CPU > top rad > front rad > res.

Hello Folks!

 

I need some help with the setup of my loop.

These are the parts I've got:

http://www.aquatuning.ch/wasserkuehlung/ausgleichsbehaelter/1x-5-14-bayres/fuer-dc-lt/13311/alphacool-repack-laing-ddc-5-25-bay-station?c=2928 (With the pump)

http://www.aquatuning.ch/wasserkuehlung/radiatoren/radiatoren-aktiv/12348/alphacool-nexxxos-xt45-full-copper-240mm?c=2980 (For the front)

http://www.aquatuning.ch/wasserkuehlung/radiatoren/radiatoren-aktiv/12343/alphacool-nexxxos-st30-full-copper-240mm?c=2980 (For the top)

 

How should I set up my loop? Or what would you change?

Case is the 350D.

 

Thanks. :)

Decent setup but abit overkill but atleast you will get good temps with some low rpm fans.

WC is expensive, usally the most exspensive part is the fittings.

I know it's overkill.

But I plan on a really quiet loop, or maybe adding a GPU block at some point later.

Yer that setup would be great for a CPU and GPU setup.

Cant wait to see it finished rig!!
