Hi, below is an image showing the custom loop I'm looking to build.
Notes
The stars indicate where I'm going to put temperature sensors. 1 before the components and 1 after.
The Aquaero will be water cooled to manage/control the sheer number of fans in the system. I'm hoping to chain all fans onto this unit.
The 690 TDP is 300w (600w in total) The 3770k seems to vary between 77w and 95w, depending on where you read. Lets assume the higher figure. Not sure what the TDP of the Aquaero 5 XT is. So lets just roughly pitch the total TDP as 700w.
I already have this hardware in my current air cooled system:
Does the loop make sense?
Will the 2x Laing D5 pumps provide enough flow?
Will the rads in the loop cool all this gear and allow room for overclocking?
I can't make my mind up on Bitspower or Monsoon compression fittings?
Any advice on tubing to use?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I really appreciate any further advice.
