Hi Everyone
I have just built my first Gaming PC and am interested in water cooling my components. I have spent quite a bit on this rig and would like to install the best possible cooling system i can regardless of cost. I have read through a fair few guides but am still undecided.
My system consists of the following components:
-Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower
-Intel i7 4770k
-Asus Maximus VI Extreme Motherboard
-Asus GeForce GTX 780 x3
-Corsair Dominator Platinum 2x8GB 2400Mhz
-Thermaltake Toughpower 1500W
-Creative Sound Blaster ZxR
-WD VelociRaptor 1TB x2
-Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD
From what i have read i have semi-decided on the following for the water cooling:
-MCP655-PWM Pump
-EK-FC Titan GPU Water Block (Very unsure of which model to get, read a lot about nickel corrosion)
-EK Supremacy CPU Water Block (Again unsure of which variation to get)
-EK-RESx3 Reservoir
-Primochill LRT 1/2" ID tubing
-Bitspower Compression Fittings
-Still unsure of a good radiator that will fit in the rad bay of the Cosmos II
So i suppose my questions are:
1) Are these cooling components sufficient for overclocking my system/are there better alternatives?
2)Is it worth water cooling RAM at all?
3)Should i make two seperate loops? One for CPU (and maybe RAM) and one for the three graphics cards?
4) If i should have two seperate loops, should i have two radiators or a split one, and will my pump handle it or should i get two?
5) Recomendations on cooling fluid? Have read alternating views on corrosion inhibitors and kill coils.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
