liquid cooling first timer need help!

[andolee]

Hello everyone! After a couple of weeks reading and watching tutorials I think I'm confident enough to build my first loop.

pc components are:

Case - NZXT H440
MB - ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO
grapchics - 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified Hydro Copper
DDR - Corsair Vengeance 16gb 2400 mhz
PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2
CPU - Intel Core i7 4790k
SSD - 2x Samsung 840 120gb
HDD - Western Digital 1tb calvair black
1x Corsair Air Series AF140
and 3x 24" monitors

as for the loop I will want to water cool the cpu and the 2 gpus
components are:

pump - Swiftech MCP655
reservoir - Bitspower Z-Multi 250 mm
radiators - 2x Swiftech MCR320-QP Res Rev 2 cooled by 3x Noctua NF-F12 PWM each
CPU block - Swiftech Apogee XT
tubings - XSPC HighFlex Hose UV 19/13 mm
fittings - Koolance Fitting 19/13 mm
liquid - innovatek Protect IP
killcoil

I'm aware that distilled water might be a better solution but I think I will try with innovatek liquid because it have some very good properties.

I was thinking for a loop that looks like res>pump>rad>cpu>rad>gpus>res
my questions are:

Will 1 pump be enough for the loop ?
Do I need 2 loops ?
Is my loop optimal ?
Will I need second psu for the pump only ?
Do I need to put killcoil in the reservoir with liquid other than distilled water?
Are those reliable components?
Should I order the stuff or should I change something ?
any tips will help me.
Thanks!!!

Will 1 pump be enough for the loop ? yes Do I need 2 loops ? redundancy is nice Is my loop optimal ? no Will I need second psu for the pump only ? no Do I need to put killcoil in the reservoir with liquid other than distilled water? depends on the liquid Are those reliable components? yes other than I like primochill tubing Should I order the stuff or should I change something ?
if you are happy with each 120 having to disapte 97 watts

Plenty of rad, personally for this load I would go with a 120.8 set up, especially if you are going to pound on it

And I'll add the Noctua NF-P12 is a better fan for radiators, as it's made to deliver higher air pressure.
I used the F12 with good results on a QP-Res triple, and honestly you could put just about any fan on this radiator and get decent cooling, but it sounds like you'll need better performance than I required...

radiators - 2x Swiftech MCR320-QP Res Rev 2 cooled by 3x Noctua NF-F12 PWM each
CPU block - Swiftech Apogee XT (I would change this to the newer designed more affordable APOGEE XL.)
tubings - XSPC HighFlex Hose UV 19/13 mm (Change this to PrimoChill Advanced LRT.)
fittings - Koolance Fitting 19/13 mm
liquid - innovatek Protect IP (Recommend distilled water)
killcoil

I'm aware that distilled water might be a better solution but I think I will try with innovatek liquid because it have some very good properties.

Pure distilled water will hold better thermal properties than other liquids.

I was thinking for a loop that looks like res>pump>rad>cpu>rad>gpus>res
my questions are: Order won't matter as long as the res is feeding the pump naturally.

Will 1 pump be enough for the loop ? Sure unless you want more pumping power and redundancy.
Do I need 2 loops ? Nope
Is my loop optimal ? Depends on your components and routing. Optimal in rad vs heat, sure.
Will I need second psu for the pump only ? Nope. Only have the pump installed when doing leak testing while the other equipment is off.
Do I need to put killcoil in the reservoir with liquid other than distilled water? Nope.
Are those reliable components?
Should I order the stuff or should I change something ? Hold on till you have everything finalized.
any tips will help me.
Thanks!!!
