Change in WC build- Need advice

[Roxas2030]

I was going to go with the XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 kit but with the Asus Maximus V Formula out I wanted to do something different. I want to add the mobo into my loop which has a fitting of 3/8''.

Here's my new WC build:

Using distilled water with kill coil.

the total is about $285

Is this good performance wise and compatibility wise?

This is what I'm planning on doing by the way:

Res-->pump-->Cpu-->dual 120 rad-->Fusion thermal-->120 single rad-->res

 

[Roxas2030]

Anyone?

 

[rubix_1011]

What is Fusion Thermal? Is that MB cooling?

Other than that, looks fine. Anything specific?

 

[Roxas2030]

Fusion Thermal is the thing that cools the VRM on the mobo. Will this prove better than the XSPC Rasa 750 RS240? I mean am I just paying like 200$ more not much gain (basically just paying 200$ more for a rad)?

 

[rubix_1011]

Why not just buy the Rasa/Raystorm kit and buy an extra rad to add? If you want different tubing size, just buy those fittings and tubing as well.

Is this what you are saying?

Edit: I wouldn't even worry about an extra rad...but it's your call. I think you are doing this the hard way.

 

[Roxas2030]

Got it, I'll buy the Raystorm kit and add an extra rad. Thanks!

 

[rubix_1011]

If your budget is really ~$285, consider the Raystorm kit with the DDC or D5 pump upgrade.

Don't forget the fittings and tubing; I think XSPC kits come with 7/16" fittings and tubing...this won't work with your 3/8" barbs for your MB block. Going with barbs would be the cheapest method.
