water cooling the 750d (poll)

[Zach's Tech Tips]

Hey linus community iwas just wondering which of the following onfigs would be better for this build.

 

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Zmgv23

 

Key:

Dark blue: reservoir and pump

Aqua: radiators

Purple: tubing

Green: gtx 980

Red: MB

Yellow: 5930k

 

Water loop 1 (picture 1) reservoir and pump, 240mm rad, gtx 980, 360mm rad, intel 5930k, 280mm rad and then back to the start

Water loop 2 (picture 2) reservoir and pump, 240mm rad gtx 980, 120mm rad, intel 5930k, 360mm rad and then back to the start

don"t just think about the size of the radiators see where I have positioned them.

 

 

thanks

well with loop 1 you get more rad area.  I've never liked rear mounted radiators.  So my vote is for loop 1.

i just made a poll so you can vote

Mix of both would be good, but option 2 looks cleaner to me.

so you recon a 120, 240, 280 and a 360

If you put a rad on the bottom, where are you going to place your 3.5" hdd ?

May I suggest to modify a bit your loop 1 ? Like reservoir and pump > 240mm bottom rad > gtx 980 > cpu > 360mm top rad > 280mm front rad and then back to res.

 

Loop 2 looks indeed cleaner but I think you're good to go with just 360mm top rad and 280mm front rad.

Hell yeah, gets pretty warn this side of the world.

 

I'm down in tassie, but I still have a 420, 360, 2 x 240's and a 140 in my case. Lets just say my temps are good

To be honest I would go option 2 but without the rear rad as you only have 2 blocks. I have 480mm for my loop and I don't have aircon and thru summer it doesn't overheat at all

Edit: Damn auto correct

Yeh it gets pretty warm up here in north QLD

[Joshua Ondangan]

well why not do all instead? just shell out a few more bucks.

 

although not sure if a 240mm can fit on the bottom due to clearance. I don't have the 750D yet but planning on buying it this december to transfer my work rig there so I can build my self a new work rig on my 900D.
