If you had...

[MrKambo]

£750 budget for watercooling, and my rig as it stands (full specs in sig)

how would you cool it?
what would you choose and why?

my 7970's are reference in case anyone was wondering


​

 

[FTR.4500MHz]

Planning on modding to fit thick rads ?

It would be nice to get some information on what kind of radiators you are able to fit in there.

 

[FTR.4500MHz]

50mm max without modding in roof an in the front.

Edit: 80mm max in the front with the fans pulling.

Edit n°2: I have some watercooling bits like rads, pumps, reservoirs for sale. Everything in mint condition.
If interested in saving a couple of bucks and you dont mind second hand, let me know and ill create a thread in the dedicated section.

Well, cut out the plate of the 5,25" bays to make a 60mm Thick Rad fit.
In the top, you could get a 45mm Thick Radiator with one set of fans in.
You could have a look at the Alphacool UT60 360mm Full Copper radiator and the Alphacool XT45 360mm Full Copper radiator.

Get a Bitspower Tube Res (150mm) with a Swiftech MCP655 pump. For the pumptop I'd say get a Koolance Laing D5 Pump Top and Reservoir Base Rev 2.0.

Some 3/8" (10mm) fittings from lets say bitspower or alphacool with Mayhems fluid.
Waterblocks are personal preference but the XSPC Raystorm CPU Blocks seem epic. For the GPU Blocks I'd say get XSPC Razor Full Cover blocks or maybe the Watercool Heatkiller X3 blocks.

Hope this helped a bit

think 80mm in the front is what i want, in either push or pull

dont really wanna mod the case anymore, as it hardly rigid as it is

yeah make a thread if you dont mind, ill take a look

I dont have drivebays

I was also looking at the bitspower res with a D5

^^ Just noticed that. I like that!
In the front you could also fit an Alphacool Monsta 360mm Radiator probably! You'd need higher RPM fans to push air through that though. But it's all up to you in the end! The Monsta's are epic and solid performers, and so are the UT60s.

awww gawwwd. that intel stock cooler. ewwww.
anyways, i really like the xspc raystorm / razor blocks. then some 40/60mm rads, a tube res and a d5 pump, clear tubing with red fluid and some sp120 QE in red (i love noctua fans way more than the sp120s, but the colour man if you are willing to dye them, go ahead, noctuas all the way). also maybe some custom red LEDs for the xspc blocks.

 

[NRG!]

Mips iceforce cpu block

watercool heatkiller gpu blocks + backplates

as for rads etc idk what you've done mod-wise..
