In need of some watercooling advice

[Transon]

So I've been looking into hardline watercooling the past week now and I wanted to know what others would recommend, I'd like to build with hardline (hardtubing) any tips to get this sleek and looking good with or without fittings? And also, I'm going to watercool the CPU and two highend GPU's, what sized radiator should I get? Is a 54 or 60mm 280mm rad enough to cool this or should I do two 280mm 30mms?

Appriciate answers!

With the bending there are pleanty of videos on youtube. The main tips they give is to rotate the piping constantly to make sure the pipes dont blister from heat and so that they bend uniformly. What do you mean "Without fittings"?

Well, I was just wondering if its easier to just make straight lines with the tubes use fittings for bends or use heat to just bend the piping

Its probably pricier to do straight lines and use fittings for bends as you'll be buying a lot more fittings. One could argue if you dont have access to a heat gun that youll have to buy that, but theyre really not that pricy.

 

Id assume it would also come down to personal preference on aesthetics also, some would like the look of bends with fittings and some would prefer to have the clear pipe bends.

 

Its probably easier to do the straight piping, but pricier, but at the same time it could also introduce more chance of a leak due to the many many more fittings you would be using (Low chance but still increasing it).

Yeah, how about the radiators, would you think 280mm and a 140mm rad is enough for 2x gpu and the cpu?

Yeah that should be alright. What GPU's and CPU are you running though?

Currently running 4670k @ 4Ghz and 2x 760 but I'm getting the topseries cards when the next line is coming.

Then yeah you should be fine
