Watercooling 900D

[X1XNobleX1X]

Hello forum members,

 

I have put off water cooling my 900D for years now, finally, I feel like it's time to water cool my PC. 

Below is a plan of what I want, feel like it's a good start.  - Budget would probably be $700-900 AUD.

 

 

 

Currently, This is what I have :

Not sure what parts are good and what other parts I need.

 

I know I don't have any fittings.

That's pretty much what I did for my first loop. Photo of my first loop below. If you're not intending to cool your GPUs, you won't need one of the rads. And even then a 480 single rad would likely be enough. My part list is here.

Honestly I'd watercool the GPU's and skip the CPU, it will make a bigger difference than on the CPU.  (In terms of 24/7 overclocks, and quiet-ness factor)

That's actually quite nice, most of the ones I see online don't look that great.

 

 

What pump is that?

 

I'm assuming it's not one in this list?

Thank you! As silly as it sounds, no one has ever complimented me on that... Feels good man.

This is the reason I watercooled my old 900D:

 

I always loved this one, I saw it on google images one day, and it inspired me

That looks amazing! 

 

What pump did you use?

 

Would this suffice?

I used the XTOP D5 PWM pump: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=23382

 

That pump will be perfect though, it looks like EKWB has changed their pump lineup

Are you going to watercool the GPU's as well? 2x480's is excessive for just the cpu.

Nope, only the CPU for now.

Nope, only the CPU for now.

 

For now sounds good.

 

You'll need to add 8 fans, a fan hub and a drain valve to that list.

You might need some 45 or 90 degree fittings to make tube routing a bit easier

 

 

 

 

Take a screenshot of your list next time so it's easier to read.
