first off, i would like to say iv been a long time reader but only recently joined and started to post....
So im going to start my first water cooling loop soon and would like ideas and input on what i am doing.
first off what i am running and what i plan to do.
currently i have
Case: Obsidian 800d
Cpu: i7 2600k OC to 4.6 with Air cooling (plan to OC 4.9-5 with Water cooling)
Gpu: GTX 580 Direct CU II (plan to OC to 900ish with water cooling)
PSU: Antec 900watt gamer edition.
2x120 agilty3 SSD Raid0
the Plan/ Loop
to run a 3x 120mm rad on the top of my case with 6 Scythe Gentle Typhoon in a push pull configuration, out to the Cpu, then onto the GPU, up to the res/pump then back to the Rad.
im going with 1/2" ID tubing and just a distilled water with LIQUID UTOPIA 15ML (cuz i cant find any PT nuke in Australia) mix for coolant.
1st off, i do plan to run a 2nd 580 in a few months and then add a 140mm Rad to the loop.
2nd do you guys think one loop is enough or should i run 2 loops with 2 pumps/res or one loop with a 2 pumps/res?
as this is my first water cooling system i would like to get it right
