Another "Is this good????" Thread

[Emkryan]

So I have yet to venture into water cooling but plan on doing so in the near future. I have put this small list together from what I've learned watching a bunch of videos on youtube and reading other posts etc. 

 

Swiftech MCP655

Bitspower D5 / MCP655 Pump Mod Kit

XSPC AX360 Triple 120mm Radiator w/ Aluminum Enclosure - White

Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 White 120mm single

Alphacool Cape Corp Coolplex Pro 10 LT - 100mm

Bitspower Dual / Single D5 Top Upgrade Kit 150

PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing 3/8"ID x 1/2" OD White

Heatkiller Rev 3.0

Alphacool Compression Fitting - G 1/4 Thread 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD x8

Koolance G1/4 Nozzle Socket Plug - Black x10

Noiseblocker NB-eLoop B12-4 x4

 

This is for the most part for looks as I will also be doing my own sleeving for this potential upgrade. 

What can I change/add to  improve this upgrade?

 

My current PC is in my sig

 

Many thanks in advance.

from what i can tell from just the h2o part you are trying to build a CPU/GPU loop?

1. but i only see one GPU in the sig build and no GPU water block(s) in the h2o list

and you'll not have a good time finding, unless it is a reference GPU?

2. the 600t although a "big" case seems to have limited space when using a tube

reservoir as not many builds are using them, especially with HDD cages.

3. the AX360 is a beefier radiator due to the shroud enclosure, that you might find

cumbersome to use. a simple EX360 will do the job as well, but the NB B12 fans

are going to outrageously loud at 12volts. the B12-3 or the B12-P would be a better

start at under 26dBA at 12v rather than 34dBA. the AX/EX wouldn't benefit more than

2°-4° from 400-600rpm, if.

4. you've listed the bits upgrade 150 and alpha coolplex which is redundant or a mistake

using both. you won't be able to cross-use either as the bits is a 60mm diameter tube

and the alpha is only 50mm.

5. you know installing a 360 in the roof, means cutting the chassis and upper roof

plastic frame? natively, the roof will not support 3x 120 fans. with that said, you can

use a 240 in the roof and a 240 in the front intake by substitution the 200mm front fan.

i'm pretty sure that the AX/EX360 in the roof will not allow using the UT60 120 with the

fan internal.. that's why i recommended a 2x240 radiator scheme.

1.So far the config is cpu only. No point in cooling a GTX 460. I'll wait for a better graphics card to cool.

2.I took out the HDD cages from the original spot to make room for air flow for the front intake and that's where I would put a pump/res

3. I picked the AX for the white paint and it wont interfere with the DIMM slots being 40mm. If the fans are too loud at 12v  I'll tone them down but again I'm getting them for the looks.

4.My mistake, I didn't see that It came with it's own 150 res.

5.I know about needing to mod the 600t to support the 360 rad. The front would have to be modded to fit a 240 as well but putting a rad there would mean I need a  long tube run which I personally don't want. If I have to leave out the Nexxxos I will or just buy a slimmer rad and paint the shroud white. 

 

I haven't seen TTL's 600T but I did see Ronsanut's 600T build 

 

Thanks for the advice

understand about the long run from front 240, but you can run it stealth behind

mobo tray and mounting the pump/res to the front radiator using the bits 120

cross-bars.

 

but mounting the pump/res vertical..

That's pretty cool. If anything I'd rather mount it to the single 120 since it'll be my first build, I'd rather play it safe with a vertical mount instead of horizontal on the top rad

deffo wont have room on the rear 120 and the 240/360 in the roof..
