hello,
i have NZXT Phantom 820 and CPU i7 3960x and Asus Rampage iv not black edition & 32GB rams platinum dominator corsair 2400 & installed in pc right now 2x GTX 690 and Corsair H100I

i have 2x GTX Titans hydro copper and i want to put custom loop for the whole pc am planing to remove the h100i and replace the gtx 690 with the titans but am new to custom loops i read about it alot and all but i still need help to buy the parts i need to fit good in my case with stylish look.

so far i know my case can fit 360 rad in the top and 240 rad bottom am good with that

am buying my parts from frozencpu only cuz i have voucher there so please if i can get some help on which parts to buy best ones oh and rads thickness not more than 60MM thats the limit of phantom 820 for now.

so please help thanks,
 
360 + 240 for 2x Titans + 1 CPU might be a bit "just enough", you wont be able to create a super silent system.

Ok, as per custom, we point to the watercooling stickies for you to read, so you get a better idea where you're going.

Besides that, i'ld suggest a Swiftech MCR-Drive 360 for the top, a "normal" MCR-QP 240 for the floor and an Apogee HD or XL for the CPU
and a handful of Helix fans

http://www.swiftech.com/CPU-waterblocks.aspx
http://www.swiftech.com/Helix120mm-PWM.aspx

Of course there are legion of other possibilities, if you don't like the Swiftech looks, the Alphacool '45er radiators are very good.
And the XS-PC CPU Raystorm block is very good.
For pumps (DDC or D5) you'll have to see Swiftech or XSPC again.
Very good Radiator fans are the Noiseblocker eLOOP (pwm) or the Phobya voltage clones.

If money is not the issue... Aquacomputer has some VERY NICE stuff :D
And there is of course the Watercool HTSF & MO-RA series and the Phobya NOVA :)

thanks for ur reply,

2nd i need to buy all parts from frozencpu so if u can provide links there would appericate it,

3rd money is not an issue..

i want loop that is stylish and of best parts in performance and lowest risk..

the titans waterblock are swiftech so i need sli for the cooler as well..

and fitting and those were in my carts in frozencpu i choose for begigng with ..

Sleeve The Cable(s): Yes Please! ($9.99)
Select Your Cable Sleeve Color:
Select Your Heatshrink Color:
(1) Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper Triple 120mm Radiator
(2) Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper Dual 120mm Radiator
(2) Feser One Non Conductive Cooling Fluid - 1000 ml - Pure Clear
(1) EK Supremacy Universal CPU Liquid Cooling Block - Clean Acetal (EK-Supremacy Clean CSQ - Acetal)
(4) PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing 3/8"ID x 5/8" OD - Brilliant UV Blue (PFLEXA-58-B)
 
well, i'm not gonna navigate the frozencpu site for you :)
sofar your choice of components is ok, although the feser fluid is a waste of money.
For starters, it stops being non-conductive like 5 minutes after you poured it in and the markup is even more terrible as the markup between tap water & Perrier Blue..
If they throw in the feser fluid for free, by all means take it, but you are waaaaay better off with a jug of WalMart distilled water at 50 cents a gallon and a silver killcoil or silver bullet

For SLI bridges:

Look at the Swiftech page for more detailes on how to choose the bridge you need
http://www.swiftech.com/slicrossfirebridge.aspx

Pumps: a D5 variant: a VPP655 or swiftech MCP655+top ; The Bitspower D5 mod kits are nice also
http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30...PC_Water_Cooling_Pumps-D5_Variants-Page1.html
Although the XSPC Photon is a very nice looking piece of kit

fans: as before noiseblocker eLoops
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...PWM_Fan_-_800_-_2000_RPM_.html?tl=g36c365s936
but you need the Swiftech 8-way PWM splitter also
