2600k + 2gpu block for 1 rad/pump

[rraannddoo]

I'm ordering things online for my first water cooling system, and I stuck if I need to add more Rad for my build,because 1 pump and 1 rad loop for 1 CPU and 2 GPU

i7 2600k- Im going to OC it around 4.5ghz or so
2 x HIS 6950 2gb - I got 2 reference board of 6950 which can be unlocked and planning to OC
P8P67 Deluxe
16gb Ripjaw 1600mhz 1.5v LA9 dont need that much, but found it for cheap =P
OCZ ZX 1250w
1 vertex 2 120gb, 1 vertex 3 120gb, 1 tb caviar black
Corsair 700d

Water Cooling
CPU - Koolance CPU-370
GPU - Koolance VID-AR697
Pump - Swiftech MCP655
Radiator - Rx 360
Reservoir- Swiftech MCRES-MICRO REV2
Liquid - Primochill PC Ice because it cost only $5-$7 for 1 liter, and I can't access PT nuke or silver coil without paying $20 s/h
Fans - Still deciding

pump>CPU>GPU>GPU>rad>res>pump

I was wondering If i need to add another Rad after the CPU. If i do it would be a 2 x 120, will the pump be able run through all of it by itself or do i need to add another pump?

where you live ,have you purchase your case already?

 

[rraannddoo]

I live in Canada , ON and I have already purchased my case......something wrong =P?(I havent opened yet, I can still return bec not everything came yet) Also, If i add more rad which will better to cool, 2 x120 for the cpu or the 2 gpu, and the other way around for the rx 360

 

[ortoklaz]

no nothing is wrong with the case ..how much will you OC CPU/GPU's,you want quite system ?

I'm planning to OC the CPU at least 4ghz, if I can 4.5ghz (considering the temp).
The Gpu will be unlocked to 6970 with 920/1375, may go higher also if temp are ok.

Noise isnt an issue, but would be nice to be very quite =P. My last 2 rig wasn't quite at all

ok..you will be running your CPU @4.7 (trust me ,i own 2500K ..very easy to OC),with minor moding of the top of your case you can fit this;

this should be enough for you set up (make sure..measure ),yes single MCP 655 can handle all your blocks/RAD

How would i exactly mod the case to fit the rx 480 o.0

 

[ortoklaz]

it will probably take out two bays on top ;

looks interesting, wonder how....the 4 slot is going get cooled even if i pushed into the case

 

[ortoklaz]

what you mean .."the 4 slot is going get cooled even if i pushed into the case" ?

 

[rraannddoo]

well its a 4 x 120mm, theres only 3 grill on top for push/pull or only push for that size of rad, the 4th one will be covered from the top, if i make them all push into the case

four posts above ..look at the video ..you have to cut your new case ,you don't need push/pull ,you need pull only,
4x Yate Loons or GT's

erm......how would one cut a case >.> I don't have the tools or experience to start cutting metal >.>

plan 2
get 360RX for top and 140 or 220/240 for bottom

 

[ortoklaz]

better yet start with 360 and if this won't be enough you can add one more rad

 

[rraannddoo]

will the MCP655 be able to go through 2 rad(rx 360 with 220 or 240), 2 gpu block, 1 cpu block?

 

[ortoklaz]

yes as stated already in this thread..what's your budget?

 

[rraannddoo]

yes as stated already in this thread..what's your budget?

Well my budget is around $600, can go higher.....best not to =P
Pump: $81
2 GPU block $220
Res $18
CPU blocl $78
Clamp/ barbs/ holes (10feet) : $58
Radiator (rx 360) $80
Total around $535
with 13% tax - $603

 

[ortoklaz]

you have link for this Res $18 ?

You can buy some stuff ,like fans/rads,i think your budget will surpass 600$ ,to bad you can't mod,it would save you some $

Where did you go..i'm not finished here..lol
got better idea ..get this rad;
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swmcqupo4xbl.html
you don't have to cut additional hole,just insert three fans between the rad and the roof (pull) and the forth one in push,this should be better than 360;

oh thats nice,lol........so the mcr 420 will do fine? or the rx420?(i can tell this one best one of the three,but doesnt sell in Canada unless pruchase from US) Well, ncix has EK-COOLSTREAM Rad XT Quad which is better =D?

 

[ortoklaz]

now you pushing it..save your money for better fans mcr 420 will do fine,good luck
