Best cooling setup for this case?

[BootyDustBandit]

Not much needs to be said here
I have basically enough money for whatever water cooling setup 

I don't know what coolers to use, just the case and that i want to overclock the living crap out of the 9900k i'm putting in there

here is the case- https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Graphite-Series™-760T-Full-Tower-Windowed-Case/p/CC-9011073-WW

if you need more info you can ask me

(socket is LGA 1151 in case you couldn't figure that out)

GPU is a 2080 Ti...it will also be in the loop

EKWB is good for custom water loops.

If you want the absolute best cooling for the absolute best overclocks, you have to go with LN2 or LH2

alright....i checked there but they didn't actually have any water blocks for the 2080 Ti that i could find...maybe i'm just and idiot and didn't see it...but i couldn't find any

its a new card, so the waterblock for it has be super new.

This case looks like it can support up to 600mm of rads. For your components, i suggest you fill all of them with a top mounted 360mm & a front mounted 240

i don't know how much clearance the case has for top-mount, so you may want to stick with a 360 SE from ekwb. The front looks much more spacious, so perhaps a 240 PE or maybe even a 240 XE. 

 

SE = 28mm thick

PE = ~38mm thick

XE = 60mm thick

If you already have the case, it would be best to measure how much space you actually have. Keep in mind that a 360mm rad actually measures somewhere around ~400mm in length because of the ends (dont quote me on it, i think ek lists exact dimensions on their website). You want to make sure you have room for your reservoir wherever you plan on mounting it.

 

Other advice: dont mix metals. you may know this already, but if you go for a nickle-based loop, don't add aluminum anywhere. you will have BIG corrosion. Nickle and copper mix fine. Silver also mixes fine if you want a kill coil. 

Angled fitting can be your best friends. Regardless of if you're going for a soft or hard tube setup, fitting can help you to avoid kinks (soft tube) and just help you avoid tough bends (hard tube)

 

Feel free to ask if you have questions

I am doing doft tubing most likely, what about EKWB's modular tubing...with those easy connect fittings?

i don't quite follow this. Are you talking about quick disconnect fittings? do you have a link to something that can show me what you mean?

those are cool. I've never used them myself but definitely something to keep in mind. I think they'd be especially handy to use at the bottom of your loop as a drain. Maybe to use on your gpu if you want to just unplug that or one the cpu block if you ever need to reseat it without draining the loop
