advice on Water cooler system

[oz_panther]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you can help, I’m looking for a new case, after the reviews on OC and other people’s recommendations, I like these cases, xigmatek elysium super tower or Coolermaster Cosmos II Ultra Case. I want to build a big kick ass case; I’ve been looking at water cooling, but don’t know much about it, apart from what I’ve read. I like the idea, because of the case being quiet, of the two cases I like the look of the cooler master2, but you’re paying a cost for the privilege, is it worth it?

Also I’m looking for a new mother board, the two I like are Asus Rampage IV Extreme/BF3 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) and Gigabyte X79 G1 Assassin 2 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) which do you think is best?

Corsair Dominator GT 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C9 2133MHz or Team Xtreem 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-20800C10 2600MHz

Corsair 240GB Force GT hard drive

XFX ATI Radeon HD 7970 "Double DD Black Edition" 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W Power Supply

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache

If you want to do push pull then the Comos 2 is out, you can only fit a slim 360 in the roof and there isn't enough room for push pull there is only enough room to have fans in the roof on pull. You can fit two 240s in the bottom though, one will fit natively with a bracket that comes with the case but you will have to find a way of making the other one fit. Have you looked at the NZXT Switch 810?

You can fit a thick 360 in the roof with fans in push pull and you can also fit a thick 240 in the bottom with push pull as well.

With that system you speced above you are going to need at least a thick 360 and a 240, especially if you are going to have two 7970s.

Something like this should do the job

XSPC Raystorm CPU block

EK FC7970 GPU block x2

XSPC RX360 or Alphacool NexXxos UT60 360 full copper

XSPC RX240 or Alphacool NexXxos UT60 240 full copper

D5 MPC655 Vario pump

Then all you need are fittings, tubing, coolant and a reservoir.

had a look at the NZXT Switch but was not sure if it was as good as the other two, the review that i seen on OC regarding the xigmatek elysium super tower was highly recommended, but some of the reviews on the NZXT Switch said there was a bit too much plastic on it, and was not sure about the longevity of the case, but a seen the review, with the two rads in it and it looked nice, so is your choice the NZXT over the xigmatek elysium super tower thanks for your help, a great starter

Personally i'd choose the Switch over the Elysium but it depends on what you like best, both are good watercooling cases though. The Switch does have a lot of plastic but that doesn't bother me to be honest and to me it looks better than the Elysium.

I don't think you can do push pull in the Elysium though but I could be wrong if you would rather go with the Elysium though go for it

I do like the switch, and it's a good price as well which is also a bonus thanks

No probs, take some pics of your system when you build it so we can see it
