cooling advice + what and where to buy please

hey guys currently this is my shoping list

https://secure.scan.co.uk/aspnet/Shop/SavedBasket/Show.aspx?Id=2a534ec572984746bb3b22afbd710b47

will give you a idea of what im goin to be working with

1st im looking to cool both cpu and gfx card with liquid im waiting on a reply from scan if they will do a pre blocked gfx card for me so not to void warenty if i buy off them.

2nd 1 or 2 loops?

if i go for 1 loop how much effect do you think sending heated water from one component to the other will make?

i was thinking in the 700d theres enough for a big rad at the top and a small rad where the back extractor fan is so i could have a small rad inbetween the 2 components sort of intermediary cooler.

3rd what makes models would you sugest and where would you sugest getting them from?

The Obsdian is a lovely case but there are better apparently.

 

[tinytomlogan]

Not many worse though!

 

[Chadwokie]

yeh i was looking at a number

coolermaster haf

silverstone fortress

antec dark fleet

but i just felt all seem to have one or two little flaws and the corsair was the one with the least

 

[tinytomlogan]

Antec ugh. POS

but none of the cases will do 2 loops out of the box.

Look at the HAF 932, and ACTS 840 from coolermaster, they allow straight bolt in rads.

that dark fleets one pig ugly case mate makes the haf x look pretty

 

[Chadwokie]

grrrrrr see you go getting me thinking again haf 932 by the looks of it has much better air flow (lol odly hi air flow) and is 70quid cheaper that i could spend elseware maybe get a upgrade on the mobo (is there much differnce between the gigabyte and the asus rampage mobos?

lol is it bad that i want the rampage mainly because it has red in it and will go nicely with the color theme hahahaha

 

[thestepster]

MASSSSIVE differences mate i have that mobo and its a mid range one overclocks pretty well but the rampage II and III are excellent mobo's i would love a rampage III so much

 

[alienware]

Sorry man I had it confused with Antec.

BTW. Also consider Phenom 1090 Thuban and Crosshair IV. If you need to know more look at the review for the 1090 here. I think you will be pleasantly surprised, especially if you plan on overclocking (which from the looks of it you do).

Tom can tell you more about the IV, but what a gorgeous board.

haha i just relised we kinda missed a big part of what i needed advice on the cooling went off on a case tangent.
