hello,
i am building a watercooled desk PC, however i have a couple of questions regarding some things. first i will explain the idea to clarify what i want to achieve.
the theme is based on the colour red and green and as a background colour black, this to make the two colours realy pop. the red and green will be UV active. (not sure UV fluid or UV tubing)
also i would like to use two Double helix reservoirs from FrozenQ (with helix colours UV red and UV green).
i want to separate the CPU and GPU waterloop from each other. the idea is one loops runs the colour green and the other one red.
planned setup:
2X EVGA GTX980 SC ACX 2.0 4GB (both will be custom watercooled)
1X ASUS Maximus VIII Hero
1X Intel Core I7 6700K (will be custom watercooled)
2X Corsair vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4-3000 memmory ( 2 sets of 2x4GB, one Red and the other black since the don't have green as a product colour anymore)
1X Corsair RM850X powe supply
plus all the other parts that are needed bud not relevant for this post.
Questions:
1) the motherboard has a dedicated connection for a waterpump as well as 2 CPU fan headers wich i plan to use for the two fans for the CPU radiator. does the variable speed control have a noticeable effect on the noise the pump makes? and can i use the CPU fan headers in combination with it so they ramp up when required?
2) this has a lot in common with the CPU loop when it comes to variable pump speed. the idea was to use the fan header on the GPU to go to a PWM splitter/power inserter to run the pump and fans depending on the GPU temperature. if the variable pump speed is not adviced or not worth it is it possible to power three PWM fans from a single GPU fan header or will i still need a PWM splitter/power inserter?
3) since i use transparent waterblocks i prefer to use coloured liquid, however i am afraid it will cause an unwanted effect in the reservoirs i am planning to use. i am afraid the colour of the liquid takes away a lot of the effect the reservoirs will have. in particular the loop with the red liquid (although the fluid is still somewhat transparant) does anyone of you have any experience with this combination of colours or a simmilar setup? what are your findings? all tips and recommendations are welcome
4) i am having a hard time finding 120mm PWM fans with red or green LED lighting in the same series of fans of any brand so far (i want only the LED colour to be different from eachother). does anyone of you know who has them? they need to create static preasure since they are used for the radiators.
if you have any more questions feel free to ask
thanks in advance,
