New to water cooling. Been building for years.
H/W: Antec Nine Hundred case, ASUS P9X79PRO Mobo, I7-3930, XFX Radeon HD 7970, 16 gig Patriot DDR-3, Samsung 830 256g, 7K3000 HD.
I was thinking of the following build:
Radiator: EK Coolstream XTC 420
CPU: EK Supreme HF
GPU: EK FC7970
Dual 5.25 bin Reservoir
Pump: Koolance PMP 450S
I am considering adding another video card so should I build 2 separate loops each with a 2 x 120mm or 140mm, and additonal pump? I could buy a split reservoir to begin with.
Since the pump has 1/2" barbs do I need 1/2" tubing throughout?
Does it matter where the radiator goes?
My thought was Res on front top, pumps on bottom then CPU, GPU then rad in back then return to the res.
I have been doing a fair amount of reading on this and am ready for any advice on the build, particularly on the components and if I should build in 2 separate loops now.
Thanx for your time and patience, Autopilot3
