Oil cooled pc planning

[Simenr2812]

Hello internett

I am planning to do a oil pc project for my second home pc (the reason I can do oil cooling:) The theme is white with some black.

If you wish to take a closer look at the plans you need to download the google sketchup here:

I want to know if someone has tips when it comes to the pump, rads, cooler, 770/780 (only posible to sli with the 770 because of space)  and if anyone out there has any idea what kind of rad will be suitable etc.

The parts I will be using are:

 

MB: Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4490#ov)

CPU: i5 4670K

8 GB of ram of some sort (thinking silver corsair venegance)

CPU cooler: thermalright silver arrow extreme with some white fans (http://www.thermalright.com/html/products/cpu_cooler/silverArrow_sb-e_extreme.html)

GPU: KFA^2/Galaxy GTX 770 HOF or 780 HOF depending on the money situation (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162137), (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162142)

PSU: Fractal design tesla or newton in white (650W or 1000) (http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/tesla/tesla-r2-650w-white), (http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/power-supplies/newton/newton-r3-1000w-white)

RAD: 3x2 120mm

 

PS: If any Norwegians know what to use exept for horse laxitive I have heard vaselinolje might work. (http://www.maritim.no/vaselinolje)

A 500-550w would be enough for a single gpu and 750w for 2. 650w and 1000w psus are respectively overkill.

Why such a large heatsink? I'm thinking a downward facing fan that blows down onto the motherboard would look cooler. Something like a NH-L12 or NH-C14 from Noctua would be nice.

I want the looks to be the most important if I choose to go just one 780 I will use the 650W but if I want to sli two 770s I think it will be to small:/

The reason i wnt to go with the silver arrow the the looks and the ability to overclock like hell. 

Nice tips about the down facing cooler, I will consider it

Maybe Noctua nh-c14 with the new corsair ones (http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=798346)

Yes I know the noctua fans are best, but the looks is more important and you can't hear them anyway because of the oil

I'm pretty sure the flowing oil will dissipate the heat much better than air. I don't think you'll need something like the Silver Arrow to do a great oc considering you are liquid cooling. You can always replace the fan with a better looking one.

You can run a 780 off of a decent 550w psu. I'd recommend a 750w for 2 770's. 

The Corsair fan looks good. Noctua fans are generally good but there are many good alternatives.

I think i will go for the 650w anyways don't think i will be upgrading with sli if I have the option to go with a 780 HOF 

I know the cooling is overkill, but that was also the idea. When I first do oil cooling I want it to be visible in core temp

I'm not entirely sure but the difference between the Silver Arrow and the C14 shouldn't be much if anything considering you're submerging everything in oil. 

Pretty sure a decent 600w psu is already more than enough.

Yes thanks for the help
