If you are going for big overclocks on both the CPU and GPU that kit would not be sufficient enough to cool the entire loop. I am actually going to add a second radiator to that kit so I can also plumb in a GTX 480. The more heat you are going to produce, the more surface are you are going to need to keep the liquid cool. This also depends on what cards you put in SLI as well. The GTX 480 might as well be a cooktop because it makes so much heat.

I would look at it like this... if you have a CPU and two GPU's on a single 360 rad it is almost like having a single 120 rad on each processor, and would a single 120 rad be sufficient enough to handle the heat that the processor produces. If not, look to upgrade. I'm using the XSPC kit as a good starting point, then adding what I feel will be a sufficient amount radiators to dispel the heat, while being able to keep it on a single loop(for various reasons).

I do not have much experience with liquid cooling yet, but after the last two weeks of looking into it, comparing products, reading and watching reviews and also getting advice from this forum. I feel I have a good idea as to what I need for the system and what the system can handle. Do your research and know what you are getting yourself into. I didn't realize there were so many options and how much the cost can change with small changes to the loops.

[font="Verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans"]yea liquid cooling is very overwhelming, that why its so important to look at every aspect. This is what i'm probably going to do in accordance to your response. I will buy the XSPC kit as a starting point, which i will use just for the cpu. later down the road my plan was to get 560sli. For this setup i will have to purchase an addition rad, a 240 rad will work good... i think. so this is what im looking at

What im going to water cool

[/font][font="Verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans"]-quad core cpu with heavy overclock

-gtx 560sli

water cooling components [/font]

[font="Verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans"]

-360 rad (included in XSPC KIT)

-radiators/reservoir (included in XSPC KIT)

-additional 240 rad

all i have to figure out is how im going to mount the 240 radiators and will the xspc pump is strong enough?[/font]

Not sure at the moment. I think the pump will be strong enough, but I have to get the kit installed and tested before I get the 480 block and 240 rad. Hopefully the kit will come in sometime this week and I will post some more info.

dude that would be great if you let me know how the kit performs , TTL made a video but he didn't add anything to the kit. Defiantly keep in touch.

Will do. After I get all the mods done and the parts in I will be posting it in the rig gallery. It sucks having to wait for parts, but patience is a virtue I have always been told. Next week should be one of interest.

Solid rig man, good luck with Watercooling.

Do you have the kit yet?

not yet, it shipped today though, FrozenCPU was out of them forever it seems. hope to get it by Tuesday and get it set up and running my Friday next week. Will be gone all weekend at the world snowmobile expo, but will be back Sunday night. Still waiting on my video card though, not sure what the deal with that is. Haven't paid a dime for it yet, but hope to get it none the less. If not, change of plans I guess. Though getting the 480 for a smokin deal is what I'm hoping for, must wait for that before I can really finish the build. Did I say finish? I meant Pause. Never really finish something like this, always something to do/change. But anyway, back to the topic at hand. If all goes well with the current setup I have on the way, I will also be adding a NB and Vreg blocks to the loop, as the x58 chipset runs hot on this board. I'm sure I will get all kinds of criticism for putting so much work into a Sabertooth board, but what the hell it's mine, I do what I want.

same keyboard give me your pc please

 

[DragonPC]

maybe upgrade the gpu?

Our motherboards are similar. I'm using an M4A79 Deluxe.
