First post from a new member and a WC noob! Greetings!
Here is the hardware I am planning on:
MOBO/CPU- i7-4790k on a Maximus 6 Impact with full board cooling by EK
VGA - EVGA 780 GTX Ti with full board cooling by EK
RAM - 16G Corsair Dominator cooled by EK Monarch
Power- EVGA SuperNova 850, EVGA 1200 or a Corsair Ax860i (I've heard some bad things about the 860i, but I'm not sure if they are true or not)
NexXxos Monsta 140.2 and 140.1 or 120.3 and 120.1 in a CaseLabs Mercury S3 or S5
Koolance 800W chiller
1- EK Single 5.25" Bay Reservoir w/ Dual Serial DDC 3.2 PWM Pumps
1- Alphacool dual bay res with 1-4 MCP35x
6- Noctua Industrial NF-A14 140 x 25mm IP67 PWM Fan
My plan was to have the chiller feed the small res, then the big one, and it feeds both the MOBO/RAM and the GPU separately (paralell loops). I was not planning on overclocking until I saw what my temps were at...
Too few rads? Should I not put the 140.2 rad above the res pair? Any thoughts on the Ax860i?
Thanks for your help and input!
