Hello :)

Im Pete and im new to this site, not new to PC building but i am new to watercooling

I'm after some advice with my current build i have in progress.
The spec so far is..

Case - Thermaltake Armor+ (Black and Red)
Processor - Intel i7 Extreme 980x
Motherboard - EVGA x58 Classified 4 way SLI
Graphics - XFX ATI Radeon 5970 Black Edition
Memory - 6gb Corsair Dominator GT 2000MHz

Im planning on watercooling but i was wondering if anyone had any experience of using this case for watercooling??

I was looking at internal watercooling but i think it will be rather to cramped

I was thinking of mounting a dual 120mm radiator on the bottom but concerned about heat building up under the graphic card (graphic card will be watercooled too)
Please find some pictures of the progress so far with the build..

Will look forward to any help

Thanksss :)
 
Badass rig you have there!!!

I cannot see any pics (on my end) so if this information was covered by that pic, please excuse me. I do presume though that you will have at least a 3x120 rad for the CPU as well as that 2x120 for the GPU correct?
 
for anyone that cant view the pictures within the thread here are links to the 2 pictures

Earth dog - i do plan to buy both a triple 120mm and dual 120mm rads but mounting these inside the case is near on impossible

As i said before i could put the dual one on the bottom but is there a chance of heat traps happening on the underside of the graphic card?
