watercooling help new to water cooling and need some help

[TacticalBigBoss]

i am going to be building a new PC in a week or so, this is the first time i am going to set up a custom water loop and i was wondering what pump i needed and if i just need one or two, because i dont want to type everything out since i am at work and using remote access to control my pc from my phone i am going to just post screen shots i took the other day of all the stuff i got for my loop

screen shot from ekwb

screen shot from performance pcs 1

screen shot from performance pcs 2

and now the PC components

case: Corsair Obsidian 900D

cpu: Ryzen 7 1800X

mobo: ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero

gpu x2 evga gtx 1080 Ti

 

and one last thing i didnt get yet is the waterblocks for the gpu but thats also going to be part of the same loop

 

i want a pump that will move the water quickly between the system and if i need 2 for that then i dont mind i just need to know what is best in class for this, thanks !

Welcome to the Forums!

 

That list looks good, I would personally recommend to go with the D5 pump, it's one of the best regarded units out there, and will be more than enough for a single CPU and GPU loop. However I would go with a tube res over the bay units as they are tricky to fill and bleed the loop. 

 

Also you have both clear and UV purple fluid selected.

I wasnt a fan of the XE Radiator. Little to no performance increase for a large increase in size. I would (and did) get the PE

If your getting a kit I would recommend to go for the P series they come with the good pump option. As for the GPU's it depends on the specific model of the GPU, EKWB has a configuator to ensure there are waterblocks for the card:

what fans did you use ? i got 10 Noctua industrial in two different sizes to fit one of the radiators and the rest of the case

i will look into it thanks... also does it matter which one i get if i am going to just put a waterblock on them ? i am planning on overclocking now that i dont need to keep my AC on all year long with a tube running into my PC from the AC unit and a fan to bring the cool air in faster.. i was worried i would mess up on setting up my own loop but i want to do it this time around

 

here are the links.

i cant wait to have all of this set up.. i even went out and got two amazon link when they were under 10$ each that and the custom psu cables i got from cablemod for my amazon link i am going to try and make this the cleanest cable job i have done yet

 

*edit* i dont know if its worth waiting for the other card or just go with the base one

Why are you using two different types of cards, it going to cause a problem with port locations if they are not exact same place since the aftermarket card is extra wide. There is current no block for the aftermarket cooler, there are blocks for the founders editions.

Ok, as of currently there isn't a block for the aftermarket card EVGA card so it may be a little bit before they come out.

you'll find building the 900d it'll dwarf any components you install in it.

a single 480 can easily cool all your devices (CPU/2xGPU) and that'll leave the case pretty empty.

moving to a mid tower with 360 and 240 support can free up some of the 'vastness' the 900d will leave.
