Hello,

I have another loop for you guys to share opinions on, I'm looking for decent cooling on my 7970 and 6300 (i5 Next Year).

As follows:

Pump/Res: Xylem D5 Vario and EK X-Res 140 Resevoir and Top
Radiator: XSPC RS360 with triple 1350rpm Yate Loons
CPU: EK LTX AMD nickel Waterblock
Tubing: 2x 1m XSPC 16/11 Clear Tubing
Fittings: XSPC 1/4" 16/11 Black Chrome compression fittings (x8)
GPU: EK ASUS DirectCU Waterblock
Coolant: Mayhems Pastel Red 1L

In total that loop is about £320 with parts from WaterCooling UK and EKWB for the block.

I have a Shinobi XL and therefore 360 is about the biggest radiator I can manage. I'm looking to mount the pump and Resevoir on one of the 120mm Fan Mounts at the bottom of the case, have the radiator up-top (My top 5.25 bay is a fan controller, so the overhang is no issue) and have the NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller control everything (30w per channel)

So yeah, is it going to make things cooler than with the DirectCU cooler and the Hyper 212+ that I have now. Also, will it be quieter?

Regards
Luke
