Zodi's WC Build

[Zodicus]

Thank you Jack I appreciate your gratitude Sir. Checking out the video now thank god for 3 monitors (3 more in 6 months. Overkill? )

Yea with this system I do feel like I've won an intergalactic cruise or something. It's great! My old system I actually sold when I started driving trucks and got an ok laptop. So the laptop as my gaming pc for about the last 2 years. You can imagine how I felt when I got this bad boy up and running!

No such thing as overkill in my vocab. I am sure someday I might do the same.

Well so far in the video I count 3 places for 480 rads and a 360 on the front. Doesn't look like I'll be able to use the 360 if I have 2 480's in the bottom. Dude, a single loop thru 3 480's? Holy smokes.

Well technically you can only fit a 480 and a 240 on the bottom with a premium big size PSU installed with either push or pull and have some wiggle room. You will only have room to put a 240 in the front since the bottom is occupied with 2 rads + fans. Than that leaves you with the top with a 480 as well. Bascially it comes out like this Bottom 480+240, 480 up top and 240 up front if you're mounting SSDs else where to a total of 480 x3. My goodness that's ALOT of raddage.

I know I will be overkilling in radiator usage on my next build and rightfully so with fans speeds 800-1000 rpm max on push only me thinks. I'll be using my existing SR-1 360 up top possibly in push and pull and have a 480+240 on the bottom in push. All for a CPU + GPU loop. Talk about overkill right? Well my excuse will be it is future proof so leave me alone.

 

[Zodicus]

I am about halfway thru the video now and just saw all of that. I am thinking for me a 480 on top with push/pull and 480 + 240. I could run the front and move 2 SSD's to an optical bay. All my storage is all NAS on a gigabit network so not like I need all the extra HD cages. I'll explore that option.

1/2 5/8 tubing means 1/16" wall thickness. Easy kinking... Not good.

You mean one or two MCP 35x pumps or two MCP 655 PWM pumps?

No 635x pumps buddy.

Slow down.

 

[Zodicus]

Lol notes in progress I am editing it as I go. Just random thoughts I'm jotting down in my notes post That post will be updated continuously.

 

[TheHutchTTU]

It's actually a 1/8" thickness, which is not bad, but it's not the best either.

 

[Conumdrum]

It's 1/16" wall thickness. 3/8" by 5/8" is 1/8" thick walls, which is better, like 1/2 by 3/4.

 

[TheHutchTTU]

Ahh poop, my bad, forgot there were two walls

Don't bother with a Cosmos II if you're planning to run 2 loops (or even 3 or 4 780's).

There's not enough area to fit many rads. Believe me. The 900D is a better choice.

Im actually moving my stuff to that case once i moved to my new place in a month or so.

Agree.

Awesome. Please create a thread with some pics.

 

[Zodicus]

Agree.

I would love to see that as well!

Yea I have pretty much settled on the 900D. Truly impressive case. Unfortunately no one has them or I would have ordered it now. It's easier planning a build while physically seeing your case of choice rather than looking at photo's wouldn't you agree?

 

[GTXJackBauer]

Unfortunately no one has them or I would have ordered it now.

Are you SURE?

 

[Zodicus]

NO!

 

[GTXJackBauer]

Unfortunately Corsair has been having issues with keeping then in stock and the fact that it seems overpriced on Newegg. I am waiting to see it go for $350 or less with Free Shipping.

 

[Zodicus]

Yea Newegg is fairly pricey on most stuff. I find Fry's beats them by a few bucks. Luckily I have 3 Fry's here. I stopped by one of them today looking for the 900D. No joy

 

[GTXJackBauer]

I remember Frys around here many years ago. They were a rip off. Maybe they've changed their policy.

 

[Zodicus]

Well they still don't have much of a selection on high end pc parts. I think they are more of a mainstream / newbie modder store. Just my impression. Don't get me wrong they have some nice useful things in there that I could use. But I don't see myself getting an entire build piece by piece from them.

 

[TheHutchTTU]

The Fry's by me matches online prices.
