Hi! Im making my first watercooling build now, as I've had some sort of leakagephobia that stopped me.
I'm now planning for a new build where im going to concentrate more on the designing part of the computer than I'm used to and as I said earlier, introduce watercooling. The build is going to have an Asus ROG Maximus V Formula with an i7-3770K and 2 GTX 680's in SLI. So i am basicly wondering how to pull this of, without it taking an insane amount of place in the chassi. I cant be to precise on how big the components can be, as I'm still not sure exactly on how im going to build the case.
The only things I have decided are that there are going to be 2 separate cooling systems. Beacuse of different liquid colors (as i said earlier, this is going to have a huge focus on design). I am pretty sure the best solution is processor + MB in one system and the GPU's in the other, but I would still love if anyone could verify it for me
The 680's are the reference ones from MSI. And i am not going to overclock the CPU. But i would like to have cooling performance so if i change my mind, i can bump it up to about 4-4.2 GHz.
Im going with clear tubing and one system blue color, the other one orange.
Also, if you are giving me suggestions on any parts, you do not have to worry about the cost! I'm more interested in having performance with small parts, than performance with cheap parts. Unless you suggest a radiator for 5000 pounds... beacuse that would be a problem
I don't know if there's any more specs/info i need to write, if so, just ask me to add it. Lastly, I want to justify my potential spelling mistakes, as im not from an english speaking country, and i did not have the time to use google translate, sorry.
Im VERY gratefull for all the respons and help i get, though im not a good writer, so it's possible i may seem rude or ignorant in the text, but it is not my intention.
