I intend on water cooling my rig and i'm not sure how many radiators I will need to keep temps low.
I'm likely going to be running water blocks on the following.

- Asus rampage iv extreme black edition full block.
- GTX 780Ti full cover block.
- Intel Core i7 4960x overclocked to around 4.5Ghz.

All the blocks are going to be from EK.
I have a Thermaltake level 10 GT Snow Edition so having room for rads might be a problem.
Also can I get some thoughts from anyone with experience about all-in-one pump and res combo's or will I need a more powerful pump?
Help if greatly appreciated but preferably from people with experience in the topic.

At absolute minimum I would be looking at a thick 360mm rad, though I would go for a 360+240/360mm setup if possible.
The Thermaltake Level 10 GT is a horrible case, a $300 case that can only house a dual rad (and no ability to mod anything) is a joke IMO. I think your either going to have to externally mount some rads, or go for a rad-box solution.

My recommendation is to get seperate pump and reservoir. The power of the pump isnt the problem (unless your going for an XSPC X20 750) but rather that in a 5.25" bay (where most combo units go) its impossible to pad the unit. It will be noisy, as all vibrations are going straight into the frame.
