I'm planing (when my next pay check comes) to put a custom loop in my 800D, and I would like some advice, I was looking at stuff from XSPC (really like there stuff) I was thinking A x20 750 bayres/pump in black, and a 60mm RX 360 rad with push pull fans... I still need to come up with what CPU block, GPU blocks, (don't know if I'm gonna get new gpus yet) and some place I can buy this stuff and have it shipped out here in Alberta.... Full specs of my rig should be in my signature, if anybody has any advice let me know...

Check www.frozencpu.com as they carry a bunch of kits that are very good, XSPC , Aquatuning, etc. The XSPC are great value.

Your choice of parts depends on what you plan to cool and the choice of your fans.

The RX 360 is a excellent radiator if you run lower speed fans.

I wouldn't recommend the XSPC bay res, it's not too powerful, the quality is lower than their competiton, can be quite loud and vibrate.

I would go after the Swiftech PWM DDC or the Swiftech D5 vario with a choice of your res.

For the CPU block I would go with the XSPC Raystorm as it has excellent performance and flow as seen in martins tests. http://martinsliquidlab.org/2011/09/26/i7-2600k-cpu-xspc-raystorm/

I feel the flow flow would end up on the flow side and paying extra for the D5 kit will give you better quality equipment which will last much longer.

For $40 there isn't that much performance gain and as said above it's currently out of stock.

Pink Donut please read this before you make a purchase. As a Canadian buying from FrozenCpu or PPCS you are going to be hit by massive brokerage fees (Ive received bills up to 300$ in brokerage) . Try your best to buy from the locals first before you buy outside. Dazmode.com and NCIX are too good sites within Canada that sell watercooling. Also try Aquatuning.us.

Most I ever got hit was for about $25 - just make sure you ship via USPS and NOT UPS or Fedex...

the difference would probably be more noticable with 2 GPU's in the loop :P

Basically most of the pumps are rebranded Laing models - you would want the D5 variable one. That way you can turn the flow down a bit. Also rmember, if you are thinking of adding in one but especially two GPU's, you will need another Rad to help get rid of heat.

It doesn't even need to be a kit either, I just thought A kit would be easier, and as far as bayres/pumps, I couldn't think of a great place in the 800D to stick a pump, there isn't much room in the basement, (unless you wan to block the only air intake in the case) So I thought A bayres/pump would be the answer, I also wanted something with a similar finish to the front of the 800D

That might be tough, I don't know if I could get a 120mm rad in the back when I'll have a 60mm think rad in the top push pull

yah I watched it, he only talked about a 360 rad in the top... he never talked about a 140 in the back, or a 140 in the mid plate...

I would recommend the Raystorm, it's my personal favorite cpu block for it's price vs. performance. I also like the 380i. As for gpu, Heatkiller makes some nice blocks, Koolance too.

If you take the drive bays out of the basement you can put a 240mm rad in there IIRC.

so where I sit now: Raystorm CPU block, and heatkiller GPU blocks (6970), A D5 bayres/pump, and an RX360 in the top, can I fit an RX 240 in the bottom?

I'm also trying to think of fans... I would prefer black fram red led fans.. I was thinking bit phoenix fans, but I'm not sure...
