Cooling loop Proposal

[skullrebell]

I think i have all my parts, Picked accept for the thickness's of the rad's , diamater of tubing and fitting, for my first time watercooling build, 

 

My proposed loop is a Maelstrom V2 pump included, going into a 240mm Rad, into 2 GTX 980's cooled with FC980 Ek Water blocks and FC980 back-plates, into  a EK Supreme LTX CSQ  over a I7-5930K , into a 360mm Radiator back into the resiviour. the case I plan on using is a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, I just don't know what thickness of radiator to use, and fans on one side of rad or both sides, if i will have clearance issues, , Does anyone have experience building in this case and what size tubing should I use and what fittings

I was planning on using Alpha Cool NexXxos radiators.

That all sounds really good.  

I dont have any experience with that case but typically push/pull is better so if you can manage that, do it.  I have a NexXxos 45mm thick rad cooling my gpu and cpu and it works wonders.  I'd recommend that.  Especially since you have 5 rad spaces for 3 units being cooled I definitely think you will be perfectly fine.  I'd suggest the 45mm radiator.

Tubing size I would suggest 3/8 x 1/2 because its not too big where its ugly and its not too small.  

For fittings, I have a mixture of Koolance, Swiftech, and Bitspower.  Bitspower seem to be of the highest quality in my opinion but Swiftech is also really great.  Make sure they are compression fittings.  Best of the best.  Might want to get some right-angle fittings from Bitspower and a some 45 degree bends, it helps a lot. Most importantly...get compression fittings.
