It has to have:

 

- 140mm radiator

- Absolutely NO LEDs, unless they're white

- Preferrably fan not included.

- Not be Corsair

- Support LGA1155 and 1151

Why no fan?

 

For my recommendation, the NZXT Kraken X41 is a great option!

The only 2 140mm AIOs I've see have been the Corsair H90 and NZXT Kraken X41 so that kinda makes it easy based on your criteria.

 

However, The X41 does have a blue LED, so it's kinda up for grabs here, it's either Corsair, or Blue LED nvm, apparently it changes colour. so, problem solved

The X41 has an RGB LED xD It's just that all the pics have it in blue.

Ooooh, so is it literally R+B+G or RGB spectrum? Meaning, can it do white or yellow?

A yellow build? I'm Intrigued

 

But yes it seems to be full RGB, so i'd assume white would be in there.

Yeah it's full RGB, so any color you can make with the software it will project.

 

And, a yellow build? ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's black/ gold/ silver, and I'm using warm white Phobya case lighting so only white/ yellow / orange will match.

 

Gold/ black extension cables except for molex which will be silver (molex to the 5.25" bays hard drive hotswap backplane)

 

And I'm building in the Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL (two system case, one mini-ITX board and one mATX board, both have 140mm exhausts near the socket)

Very likely yes, since the Mini XL is a rare case.

Dual radiator might work if the AMD Fury cards have air cooled variants. Because if they need radiator mounting, I can't use a 240 or 280 CPU radiator as I have to essentially reverse the entire air flow of the case (exhaust in the front and side front). And since I have two CPUs in the system, only the worst CPU (3570K) is close enough to the top to be used with a 240/280 which is kind of a waste IMO. Which is why I prefer a single 140.

I really want to know how that build goes, sounds awesome, and I'm curious with what you can do with a multi-board system and how it works within a single tower

Well I will most likely get the build log underway when Skylake is launched in fall, though the case and stuff is being acquired this month and next and I'll move my mini-ITX system into it before Skylake comes out, even if it'll feel weird to have ginourmous tower with a fist-sized motherboard in it :D

 

So I might start the build log early if I do. I'll make sure to tag anyone interested
