Extreme Watercooling setup

[Chiobe]

I'm planning to do an extreme build, with 6x 480mm rads in 1 case.

 

Budget is around $2k, Location Norway

Aim is to have a cool system and maybe a quiet one.

 

The system is the same: it was made to be able to game in 1440p 60fps/144fps and still have room for streaming, plus I also do video editing.

I was planning on some overclock, but the temps are too high to have any room for that.

 

Tubes, fitings and the rest I need for the loop is not in it, as I dont know how much I need yet.

 

Case - Thermaltake Core X9 (Pre ordered)

Yes, it needs some modding to fit everything, but its doable in terms of space.

 

 

Water Cooling:

4x RAD:

EK-CoolStream PE 480 (4x120mm fans) (38mm thick)

 

2x RAD:

EK-CoolStream RAD XTX 480 (4x120mm fans) (64mm thick)

 

2x PUMP:

EK-DDC 3.2 PWM X-RES 140 (Laing pump PWM 4-pin) (Reservoir 140x60mm)

 

1x CPU:

EK-Supremacy - Full Nickel

 

2x GPU:

EK-FC970 GTX TF5 - Nickel (MSI TF5 nVidia GTX970)
EK-FC970 GTX TF5 Backplate - Black
 

 

Fans (on there way):

16x Scythe Slip Stream Slim (120x120x12mm) (2000 rpm)

 

8x Scythe Ultra Kaze (120x120x38mm) (3000rpm)

 

Fan Controll:

Lamptron FC5 V3 (6 Fan Channels (max. 30 W per channel)
 

 

Hardware (from my current pc):

There is no one that spots any mistakes with my water cooling parts or rad+fan combo?

[Chiobe]

I'm I really that good, that I got everything right on my first watercooler build?

Okay, maybe this will help:

Why water cool it if you're not going to overclock it.

I plan on overclocking, but my current cooling setup dont allow for it, hence much better cooling system.

AH i see you have 2k for upgrading, how much does the loop cost?

The part I have listed comes in at $1404, just for the water cooling stuff. Fans and fan controller is another $350.

And then I still lack tubing, fittings and a few cables. Plus maybe a reservoir or 2.

 

The case is a must, so I keep it out of the budget.

Looks good to me, I love the look of those new X cases. You should make a build log/upgrade log.

I plan on, but I first need to get my hands on the case (29/30 january is release date).

 

Also, I got someone from the Thermaltake running it past there engineers, so I can confirm the dimensions of the case. I got the outside dimensions, but not accurate inside dimensions (some mm is lost to doors and such, depending on how you measure).

After that, so I'm I more or less good. Exept extra panel, since a full size window will hinder air flow to 1 or 2 of the rads.

You should scrap the one rad and get the full size window. It will improve the looks of the case by a lot.

Maybe, but the bottom half will just be fans anyway, so might as well try and go for this look: (just the window part on the side)

Yeah that looks great.
