Hi,

Since I'm going to add my GPU to the loop, I chose some components for my loop. It ended up more expensive than I had thought. Here are the links:

Since I'm not sure if the fittings will fit on the gpu block, I added some extenders from Bitfenix. Will I need more than 1 on the gpu block so the fittings have enough space?

The components I'm already using are an x-res /w d5, raystorm and 240 mm rad.

It's all going into a 350D.

Thanks in advance :)

You didn't mention what GPU..
I'm not that familiar with internal loops..You might need a shim if it's AMD..
I suppose that added 240 res would cool it :D

I'm using an old Sapphire HD 6870. Planning to upgrade in some months, thus why I'm getting an universal waterblock.

I'm in doubt what passive heatisnks I'd need for the ram/vREG.

i usually grind off the tape and lap then use thermal adhesive.
warning: This is an instant RMA no-go

I'm looking for the cheapest possible solution that includes heatsinks (that's still viable).

If I got this, wouldn't I need something for the vREG too?

Voltage regulation - I believe I will need to use heatsinks on both the ram and that. Can someone with some more knowledge comment here? :)
