Hi Guys

Want to know if the cooling system I have in mind will be strong enough for hat I want to do.

The System I'm looking at buying is as follows

Power: Thermal-take Tough X-T 875-W

Video Card: ATI Radeon 6850 x2

Processor: Intel Core I7 2600k

Case: Thermaltake Level 10 GT

MB: Ausus P8Z68-V Pro
_________________________________

Now the cooling system that I'm looking at getting for this system is also as follows
_________________________________

CPU Block: Koolance CPU-370 Nickel

Radiator: Hardware Labs black ice GT xtreme 240

Reservoir Pump: Koolance RP-1000B-K

Video Card: Koolance VID-A-R685

Now the products stated below have been selected because the Koolance selection wizard suggested them so that's what I think I'll be using


CHC-125-http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=663

MVR-40-http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=660

MVR-100-http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=736
_________________________________

Any Tubing size

Budget not a real problem
no reason for Koolance just what i've found so far
Do i need to cool all that stuff on the motherboard.
This is all about over clocking,
Noise is not a real problem either but the quiter the better

Thanks Guys :p

You posted these questions the last couple of days...and we gave you input.

To state once again...you don't need ANY OF THESE:

MVR-40-http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=660

MVR-100-http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=73

You will need more radiator (at least another one of the BIX 240's (which by the way will require high CFM/static pressure fans = loud+expensive in most cases)

Just curious if we didn't give you the info you needed or wanted other opinions or....?

Yes and thankyou for your help so far. I reposted it because i realised it was in the wrong section.
So i thought that people that know stuff water cooling would look in the water cooling system.
Also i dindt realy get a difinitev answer if the pump was big enough to hack the job

it's better to go with a stronger single gfx card at first then to limit yourself with starting in x-Fire...
HD 6850 = NO, even if in x-Fire.
single HD 6950 or GTX 560Ti / GTX 570 = YES, the SLI or x-Fire later on.
hell, save and get the GTX 580 and then be done with it..

Fair enough but i wasn't really sure if i would need a card as big as a 6950
So what i was thinking of doing is getting a 6850 to start with see if its enough and then get another one if i need it.
So what would i be able to do with one 6950 and what can i do with a 6850.
Can you crossfire a 6950 and a 6850 together.

Also one other question everyone. should i go with the intel i5 2500k or the i7 2600k
Is there a big difference

Thanks everyone so far :hello:

Either CPU is a great choice, so you might want to refer to benchmark comparisons and evaluate what you will be using it for.

As for the other thread, I understand...I thought I had moved it into the watercooling forum, but it seemed to have been moved back. I think those pumps would work, but just take care in your tubing and connections. Running a pump with too high of pressure is a good way to have a hose blow off a fitting inside your case.

How much pressure in a system is normal and how can i tell if blocks will restrict flow to much

And can anyone backup what amd655 said.

No offence amd655 just want to be sure
