i have a system just built and once i add the 3rd GPU i just know im going to get too hot for my cpu cooler , my system is
FX 9370 , Sabertooth R 2.0 ( will be upgrading to crosshair v formula Z), 2 soon to be 3 sapphire tri-x R9 290X/s , H100i corsair CPU cooler , Cooler Master storm stryker chassis 3 fans 2 on HDD and SSD one large in rear and duel fan cpu cooler up top. i have never made a loop i/m wondering what parts and what brand names i should get so that my pc will be cool in summer

And yes, I have used motherboard coolers. But they aren't worth it unless your doing high high high overclocking. 3 290x's will produce a crap load of heat, so water cooling all three would be a good idea. Also, I have made multiple open loop rigs. They aren't as complicated as they seen. They will appear to be very hard and overwhelming, but when you actually do it, it's more like building a liquid cooled Lego set. A very expensive, hot, and electric Lego set.

I am in the process of this myself. The best pumps are the D5s, if you add a lot of RADs, get another pump to help push the H2o through the loop. Koolance makes good CPU blocks, so does Swiftech. Do some poking around, see what kind of room your case has for RADs. It looks to me like you could get at least one 120 and one 240, but you can help me by telling me where you have enough room for RADs. In terms of radiators, there is not right or wrong. Just look up performance PCs, talk to a rep if you need to.

I have the XSPC Raystorm block on my 9370 @ 5.2ghz and love it. My temps never exceed 50c under full load. I have 2 780s with XSPC water blocks and the top is about 35c under load, while the bottom is roughly 38c under load.

XSPC is just my preference but I know that koolance, EK, and Swiftech make very good components. Also, as Hello Man stated, the D5 is by far the best if you used a dual radiator set up, it would easily push liquid through one 120mm and one 240mm along with all 4 of your waterblocks.

wow got your cpu to 5.2 ghz stable o_O so you would recommend just getting gpu coolers , even knowing my r 9 290 x`s have 3 fans on each these bastards still get piping hot on the other side. I looked at the sites for custom loops and all this stuff looks greek to me lmfao I just know im going to order stuff and forget a major component lol did you use any motherboard coolers ? I am totally noob when it comes to this , Building a pc no problem done many but this I never done and looks soo complicated lol

yeah I have a lot of thinking to do , see where I have room for what, and if me having fans on my gpu matters when adding the gpu coolers . I am total noob when it comes to this but hopefully after I install one with my new mobo . Guess no time like the present to learn lol

thanks for help , I``ll probably ask you again once I have the money to get the loop and rest of the components , lol I want to get that pump and the clear lines with the blue liquid cooling solution that looks wicked :D but another month I`ll be ready to get the gpu coolers and the pump and other stuff lol
