Hi guys,
I have completely disassembled my computer and want:
- Run as cool as possible using a custom water-cooling loop
- Run as quiet as possible (hence the water-cooling)
- Overclock CPU and GPU to squeeze out a little bit of extra performance
- I do not want to use a closed loop AIO cooler
- My computer to look as neat and tidy as possible
Currently setup:
A case that caught my eye recently is the new Fractal Design Define S.
Now for the questions.
1) I need a recommendation/suggestion for what water block to use for my CPU and GPU
2) Size of radiator (is bigger generally better?) keep in mind case compatibly is flexible should I get 2 separate radiators?
3) Pump and reservoir I would prefer a dual setup something like Thermaltake Pacific PT60-S Reservoir/Pump Combo
4) Should I go for clear tygon or silicon tubing (like cars). I plan on using distilled water have there seems to be a lot of evidence that using coolants or liquid requires more maintenance than distilled water
5) The route I want to use is [RESERVOIR/PUMP] -> [RADIATOR] -> [CPU] -> [GPU]
Is this possible or do I need to go back to the radiator before I go to the GPU?

It looks very close to perfect as to what I want to achieve. So with that being said this case will be my open canvas for my "rebuild". Keep in mind I am kind to spend for top quality products as I want this system to be as reliable as possible
