Hey everyone, I will be doing a full water cooling loop at the end of this summer. I will be getting a Caselabs Magnum TH10 case ([url=http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-th10-case/]http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-th10-case/[/url=http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-th10-case/]). so space is no issue. I will have 4 x 480mm RADs , 2 Alphacool UT45s, 2 Alphacool Monstas, 2 MCP655 pumps with a Bitspower mod dual pump top, and you can probably imagine the rest. If you can't feel free to ask :P, But as far as water blocks go I'm at a loss. I've been looking at EK, Alphacool, and Phobia for the CPU, and I know what I'm doing for the MoBo ( ASRock x79 Extreme 11). For the Titan, I've been looking at EK's Titan block. Please leave suggestions on blocks for a 2011 block, and a Titan :) I know the build is overkill x 10. Thanks for suggestions in advance!

May I please have an image signature?

Wait what, are you going to have a total of .35m^2 of rad space? Thats way too much. You cant just throw rads at the problem. You may pass a point where rads will reduce performance because the loop will be so long the water will hit ambient room temp before it reaches the last rad so all the last rad will be doing is restricting flow.

For such a Long loop you want your blocks to be as low-restriction as possible. EK make low restriction GPU blocks and you can switch the flow plates in their CPU blocks.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

I will look more into EK, and as far as RAD solutions go, I was hoping that the dual pumps would fix the problem of water sitting in the rads to long, but if you still think it will be detrimental I am open to suggestions to fix it.

First off, I think EK is the only one right now with a Titan water block, and it isn't even released yet, but, it would be the way to go. Their blocks have some of the best flow rates. As for CPU, might as well stick with the EK theme, depending on which type of GPU block you get for you Titan, you can probably get a matching one in their Supremancy series. And as Ghost mentioned, you can swap the jet plate in the CPU block for optimal performance. EK overall make some of the best high flow blocks.

Again, to pick up on what Ghost was saying, you can actually have to much Rad. :) If you are getting this much gear, I assume you are a veteran watercooler? This would be extreme for someone new. But anyways, this might be the time where I might go dual pump. Two rads and pump per loop, one for each block. That case also has more then enough room for two res... you could even have two colors of coolant to compliment your build.

I like the Idea a lot :) I could run one loop in the front, and one from the back. I'll just have to work the routing of the tubing and what not but if I can the sounds so cool.

*EDIT* I am going dual pump btw
