Custom loop, need some feedback!

[Denned]

Okay so I'll be watercooling my 600t, which I wanted for quite some time. I have had a minor custom loop before. So I know how to put it together and stuff.

 

I really admire the loop Ronsanut put together in a 600t and that'll be my inspiration.

 

 

The parts I'm fairly sure I will end up buying: (Links for reference, going to compile a spread sheet with the cheapest shop later.)

MCP655 pump http://goo.gl/ZbPqE

Phobya Extreme 200 http://goo.gl/JNaal

EK Supremacy CSQ http://goo.gl/XiQs8

FC680 CSQ http://goo.gl/qOnbI

 

The parts I'm not sure about:

 

Top radiator? Not sure what I should pick. XSPC RS240 / EX240, or maybe an Alphacool full copper ST30?

 

Reservoir (which is what I'm mostly "worried" about.) In the Ronsanut 600t he's using the first version of the Koolance cov-rp450 pump top along with a EK multi res. The problem being that version 2.0 of the pump top, can't be mounted the same way as the 1.0 version. At least I don't think it can.

The other problem being that the price for the top, and a cylinder reservoir combined is very high. Compared with something like the EK D5 xres combination http://goo.gl/b2D63 And with that, I would still most likely have to make a custom mount.

 

Any feedback is much appreciated :)

Looks great, i would go whit alphacool rad.

And mcp655 is not nessesary, too expencive and it is huge, it takes a lot of space.

(I use it)

I use the pump as well and its a pain finding a place for it. I ended up buying a EK pump top for it and a G1/4" Male to Male Extender and attaching it to my reservoir permanently.

top radiator can be a RS240, EX 240, ST30 240, RS360, EX360, or ST30 360.

watch this YT video

 

the top of the cov-rp450 has not changed, just the profile, mount bracket/pump cover.

still can hold a 60mm diameter tube/body, but watch the thread pitch not all 60mm

tubes use the same thread pitch.

 

here are a pair of V2 rp-450 tops w/80mm tubes

 

 

here is the v1 with a 60 mounted.

as for the 200 radiator in the front, for performance, mod/use a 240. the 200 is nice,

but to get a proper fan without noise and best flow the 120 market is far ahead in

that department. for ease and compromise use the 200 rad/fan.

Was thinking about going with a 360 in the roof, but I'm to too sure about it yet. However I might end up doing it :)

The mounting thing was what worried me: http://www.jpcomputersolutions.com.au/koolance-cov-rp450-pump-nozzles-cover-for-pmp-450s.html

But I guess those strut things is universal?

Also I guess there isn't any point in going with the Koolance, compared with the Ek kit. Unless I want a bigger tube, or a cylinder-top with more options?

 

 

 

But thanks for the comments, helps a lot :)
