Hello everyone.
I'm updating the system in my signature with the following:
New parts:
NZXT Phantom 820 Full ATX Steel Case
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600 CL 10)
i7 4790 3.6HZ (I hope to push at least to 4.5HZ)
Corsair AX860 ATX power supply
Asus Z97-Pro Wi-Fi ATX
Assorted SSDs
1 2T HDD
Essence STX II
Cooling parts:
Corsair Power Cable Kit (CP-8920046) Blue
Alphacool HF D5 Top - Black Acetal w/ Swiftech MCP655-PWM Pump Installed
Alphacool Cape Corp Coolplex Pro 15 LT
Aquacomputer Aquaero 6 XT USB Fan Controller
or
Phobya 4-pin to 6 x 3-Pin Fan Splitter PCB
EK Geforce GTX 980 VGA Liquid Cooling Block - Acrylic (EK-FC980 GTX)
Confused about the backplate / needed or not?
If needed:
EK GeForce 980 GTX VGA Liquid Cooling RAM Backplate - Black (EK-FC980 GTX Backplate - Black)
Swiftech Apogee HD CPU Waterblock - Black
Radiator 1: AlphaCool NexXxoS XT 45 360mm
Radiator 2: AlphaCool NexXxoS XT 45 240mm
1/2 pressure fittings all around once the components are finalized.
I've read the Water cooling starting guide forwards and backward, that I could probably recite it. I'm just overwhelm with info.
Is this too much for my first water cooled system?
The loop:
Res attached to the pump> 240mm Rad Lower Right> Rad to GPU> GPU to 360mm Rad> 360mm Rad to CPU> CPU to Res.
I may add a second 980 if there "needed" in the future.
Any and all comments welcome. I have the PC parts with me already, just holding off on the water cooling parts until I bounce it off your guys before making a very expensive mistake.
Thank you in advance.
