I'll be making a custom loop this Black Friday and I already know that this will be my centerpiece! http://frozenqshop.gostorego.com/products/reservoirs/lf250-23.html

I'll also have blue tubing to match my MSI GD80 motherboard!

Going for a black and blue theme so i need a good looking black CPU waterblock! Give me suggestions!

Also pump suggestions as well cause i don't know much about pumps. D:

Swiftech apogee HD for the block IMO and for the pump any D5. I like the swiftech mcp 655 but there are tons of other variations of the same pump. I use both the parts I just recommended in my rig and I can tell you from experience they are great.

The XSPC Raystorm CPU block looks good with it's blue LEDs, and Primoflex Advanced LRT blue tubing would work great :)

 

Any D5 pump will do the job great, and other than fittings, you're set (and GPU blocks I assume...? XSPC Razor to match..?)

Might want to also look at this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20924/ex-res-636/XSPC_Photon_270_Tube_Glass_Cylinder_Reservoir.html , there is also a version with a D5 pump attached.

The Laing D4 is quite bad compared to the D5 from what I've heard actually. Maybe you mean the Laing DDC.

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

 

Add me to your circles on Google+ here or you can follow me on twitter @deadfire19.
