Morning all,
I'm fairly new around here, despite having an account since 2007!
I'll keep this short, I used to moderate on WcUK and very much love watercooling. Then life took over, this was many moons ago! I've recently stuck to mATX builds as my PC is part of my home cinema setup. But the winter months are closing in and I want a project. So, I'm going full tower again and moving to X99 boards.
My main question is, what case? I'd like to stick a block on the i7 5930k and my 980 ti. So I'm thinking 2 radiators, bay res (inc pump). A loop like this:
res/pump > radiator > gpu > radiator > cpu > res/pump
A very basic loop and any pump should be powerful enough to push through that. Even if I stuck 2x 360's in it. In that light, I've got my heart set on a bay res, including a pump. However, open to ideas. The only thing that might change is me putting a second 980 ti in the loop.
The last time I watercooled was a e6600 and sli 7800GTX's all on a single 360 bolted onto a full tower Lian Li lol. So, I'm a bit out of date! However, I've been looking and the difference in temps between blocks is minimal at best, so my understanding is it's all down to aesthetics mostly.
I'd like a window in the case, so I can loop upon my pretties.
Just throwing it out there, I like the look of the Corsair 750D.
Thoughts?
