Recomandations for serious watercooling

[MelloJello]

I have been building mid range pcs for years but have never dealt with water cooling. I have a pretty substantial budget so i wanted the best i could get, so i decided to use EK waterblocks for the motherboard, video cards, and RAM. my questions for you guys are what radiators, reservoirs, tubing, and case should i use for the final build.

 

This is the build in question

I'd recommend a Corsair 750D or Fractal design R4 for case they have great liquid cooling expandability. Other than that I really don't have very much experience with liquid cooling loops.

EK waterblocks for RAM. my questions for you guys are what radiators, reservoirs, tubing, and case should i use for the final build.

Ram blocks are useless, save your money.

You'll either want a micro res, pump top, or T line if you're going for a sleek conservative look.

Radiators are up to you, for silence low FPI, for performance high FPI. Radiators will require fans with good static pressure, you will need to spin the fans at slightly higher RPM or get fans with higher pressure for high FPI rads. Generally go with thickest that reasonably fits, thinner rads are good if your goal is noise or space constraints. Obviously watch your metals.

Primoflex is go to tubing.

Case recommendations are hard to make blindly since it's personal taste. Put together a list of cases you think look good and post that on the forum so we can choose which will be the best for your use.

 

midi if you must go Fractal

From what you said considering you are also watercooling the RAM, the 900She wants the D.
