Hey guys ,

I want to know which is the best 2013 radiators and YES i have googled alot but all i am getting is 2009 or 2010 review but things have changed by 2013. So please tell me a good triple or quadruple radiator and which fans to buy for the radiators.

This also leads to my next question , also do let me know which casing to buy which will be compatible with the radiator you will suggesting me.
I dont have a budget problem so , do let me know which performs well and not really that noisy.

My configuration
i7 3970x (will be overclocking it )
Asus rampage iv extreme
two evga gtx 780 super clocked ( will use XSPC waterblock on them )
corsair 1200i

Thanks guys

Here's ya case ... at $250 way more affordable than the 900D and Cosmos and much more aesthetic appeal:

Id suggest getting the EVGA 780 Hydrocopper (highest clock) with pre-mounted water block

As far as radiators.... you can fit the Monsta 4 x 120mm in the bottom and the UT60 in the Top ...

Im going with the 140mm units tho .... 3 x 140 for the GFX Cards and 2 x 140mm for the CPU
CPU - Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper Dual 140mm Radiator 324 x 144 x 60mm
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16825/ex-rad-426/Alphacool_NexXxoS_UT60_Full_Copper_Dual_140mm_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s930
GPUs - Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper Triple 140mm Radiator 468 x144 x 60mm
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16826/ex-rad-427/Alphacool_NexXxoS_UT60_Full_Copper_Triple_140mm_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s931....

As for the fans.....Im using Phanteks PH-F140SP (140 x 140 x 25mm) 1200 ± 250 rpm, 82.1 CFM, 19 dB (A), Static Pressure - 1.33mm H2O, 2 of which are already installed in the Enthoo. Case is supposed to be available from newegg on September 1st

As for CPU WB's the one Im seeing getting the most attention is the XSPC RayStorm High Performance Acetal CPU Liquid Cooling Block - Black Edition (Intel) (Sockets LGA 115x / 1366 / 2011) and w/ your MoBo, I'd add the XSPC Aluminum Red Edition Mounting Face Plate - Intel Raystorm CPU Block

For reservoirs, Im leaning towards the AquaComputer Pump Adapter w/ Aqualis Reservoir and Pump Installed w/ Swiftech MCP655™ 12v Water Pump w/ Speed Control and 3/8" Conversion Kit (317 GPH)

Keep in touch .... I haven't built it yet and would like to hear about ya experiences.....with the Enthoo arriving September 1st, the only thing missing is the Poseidon GFX cards...... That video in the other link is 48 minutes long.....at the very end they install the "Monsta" .... dang thing looks like it could cool a bus.

The only thing we havent talked about yet is the tubing fittings .... Im leaning towards rigid tubing for the aesthetics.

Bitspower Matte Black Ultimate G 1/4 Thread 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD Rotary Compression Fitting (BP-MBRCPF-CC2)
PrimoChilll 1/2" OD Rigid Acrylic Tube - 4x 24" Pack - Clear - 4 x 24"
Bitspower G1/4 Thread 90-Degree Rotary 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD Compression Fitting - Matte Black (BP-MB90R2LCPF-CC2)
Bitspower G1/4" Matte Black Dual Rotary 45-Degree Compression Fitting CC2 For ID 3/8" OD 1/2" Tube (BP-MB45R2CPF-CC2)

As for as my build goes.

Case: Caselabs TH10 with the extension base yes I know expensive but should never have to buy another one, I think the is the most useful case ever come up with. Can hold 4 radiators. Awesome. http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-th10-case/

CPU Ram Motherboard and Graphics Card Blocks: EK Nickle CSQ got the ram chip coolers just to finish out the water cooling effect nothing more.. I don't think it helps a whole lot. But made the loops a whole lot better. Kinda finished out the deal. http://www.ekwb.com/shop/

Radiators: Got 2 140x4 and 2 120x4. I like Black Ice or the Alpha Monster. Links already posted found at www.frozenpc.com

Pump. Any D5 variant pump capable of 24 volts. They flow hard. Make sure you get a 24 volt step up converter. I also got the bare pump and put a top from EK Blocks. I am running two pumps per loop with EK3 400ml reservoirs.

http://www.ekwb.com/shop/reservoirs-and-acc/reservoirs/ek-res-x3-series/ek-res-x3-400.html

Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme. http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_IV_EXTREME/

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4960X. Spending all the money already. Go ahead and get the top dog. lol

GPUS. Asus GTXTITAN-6GD5 x 4. Im a nurse anesthetist . I can spend 4k on graphics and oh my goodness. Its badass. Even video processing is screaming.
