hi all, i'm just wanting to know if this kit is good enough for water cooling a 3570k and gtx 780 classified. both are overclocked and and slightly overvolted but neither is running crazy speeds. i'm using a nzxt phantom 820 and i'm certainly open to suggestions, i'm just trying to stay under $450 us. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/18965/ex-wat-250/EK_L...

EK is well known. Probably most well known for their premium water blocks. But I would be comfortable with the kit. XSPC kits are probably the most commonly refereed to.

i was looking at their ax360 kit but i don't care for the rad in that like the ek, i want a thicker rad with lower fpi. that said i have 74mm internal space for a top rad, if i was to put my fans in the attic part of the case with the mounting bracket inbetween would i see a big drop in performance?

If you don't have a good "seal" between the fan and the radiator, then you would see a performance hit.

eh that's what i thought, i was just hoping to stick the ek 64mm rad up top, 47mm should be fine though. really my main concern: is that pump powerful enough for my cpu+gpu?

The pump is rated at 400 L/hr +/-10%. That should provide plenty of flow through your radiator.

Part of the fun of custom loop water cooling is the light show.

yup, i'm going with a black and white theme but may use red liquid to give it a beating heart effect on the cpu.

The fluorescent colored fluid looks good.
