Hi everyone,

Going for a Haswell-E rig with 3 290(x)'s and I'm looking for a full liquid cooling setup.

I have this in an enthoo primo case. The case itself has capacity for many, many radiators, ALL of which I would like to use (no space without fans and radiators).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854001&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Computer+Cases-_-N82E16811854001&gclid=CjwKEAjwkMWgBRCJ1L_wypbX0wkSJAC3Xio2PU3fx6bsArYorXQhNG99VQiQqABZY3hUPdT9rjr7nxoCiSLw_wcB

I would like to know what is the quietest and cheapest way that I can go about this. I will be using either an x99-deluxe or x99 ws from asus for my tri-fire. I am experienced with pc building, please do not question the part choices, only how to cool it.

I prefer flexible tubing.

Sounds good to me here are what I would get all of it should be on http://www.frozencpu.com/

GPU block: EK water blocks (go on http://www.ekwb.com/ and their cooling configurator will tell you which blocks fit.)
CPU either XSPC raystorm or Swiftech Apogee XL
Rads: XSPC RX series
Tubing: XSPC has good colored flex tubing and UV options
Fans...

Its pretty straight forward. Get as many rads as you can fit in your case, 1 reservoir, 1 pump (or 2 if you want redudncy), and plumb it together.

Use some low speed fans and a low FPI rad and you are done.

BTW it wont be cheap. Not even close. Just ur waterblocks will cost ~$500

I understand that, what I'm looking for is part suggestions... Like links and brands and part names

Oh ok. The d5 Pump (commonly known as the swiftech mcp-655) is a great pump to use. Its quiet and has good performance.

For everything else, go here:http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/
EK makes great radiators and waterblocks.

Reservoirs are pretty universal, just make sure to read reviews before buying. Same with tubes. Sometimes the colour or the look dictates the brand you need to buy.

Also use compression fittings. Any brand will do.

For radiators, go for EK as well. I've used the EK 360 XTX and its really good.

And I would suggest coloured tubing with plain distilled water (and fungicide) as opposed to clear tubing and using coloured coolant

Fans: Corsair SP 120/140mm fans (should have enough rads for low speed use)
Pump: either D5 or DDC pumps are both good D5 slightly quieter DDC ridiculously strong and small.
Fittings: your choice between worm and compression I think compression looks better.
Reservoir: can be a bay mount or internal mount with pump integrated or not. You will have to look around and make a decision on style before I can recommend one.
Fan controller: any name brand with enough hookups. (can also pick fans with a top speed of what you need.)
Coolant: distilled and PTnuke (biocide) is the best but Swiftechs Hydrx is also good used for about a year at this point without problems.

By no means exhaustive but my first choices. But this will in no way be cheap.
