Hey, I'm going to be watercooling a 4670k in a Define R4 case, I can only fit a rad in the front because the top is quite restrictive, this is how I'm planning on doing it.

Red is a XSPC D5 Vario Pump & XSPC Acrylic Tank Reservoir

Green is a Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 240

And the blue pipe is XSPC HighFlex Hose 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD

The full list of parts I'm buying for my loop is.

XSPC D5 Vario Pump & XSPC Acrylic Tank Reservoir

Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 240

XSPC HighFlex Hose 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD

XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock

6xXSPC G1/4" to 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD Compression Fitting

3xXSPC G1/4" 90° Rotary Fitting

4xBitFenix Spectre PRO PWM 120mm

Is everything compatible? Are all these parts quality? Thanks.

lol - well yes - but um.... XSPC is a UK company - you can find the same hit there - just make sure it is the D5 RX version

DO NOT i repeat do not get the 750 - that x20 pump is garbage. and it is built inside the res, prone to fail, weak as hell at 2/3 the power of the D5.

RS isn't a bad rad but 2/3 the TDW of the Monsta so no comparison Rx is thicker and more capable

same site here's the link to D5 RX https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-145-XS

Hey, I forgot to mention that I'm using both of the optical drive bays so that kit is useless, about the fans, the Bitfenix have a slightly lower static pressure and a slightly higher CFM, but they have have the noise level 35 dBA vs 26.1dBA.

Yeah it would be cheaper if shipping to the U.K. didn't cost £100.

I think to reduce the price I'm just going to get this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-156-XS
With some compression fittings and some Rotary Fitting. And for the few times I do need an Optical drive I'll just open the side panel and connect it up out side of the case.

But I am getting an NZXT Hue RGB Lighting kit that requires a 5.25" bay, but since it has no moving parts I can just put it anywhere in the case.

How much better is the D5 over the X2O 750? Because it get it it's going to cost me more than double the price.

Edit: Looking at all the forum posts about the X2O 750 v4 breaking I think I'll steer clear of it.
