Planned Watercooling Description
Using three seperate loops, one cooling the cpu, one cooling the vga cards and the last cooling the northbridge, southbridge and mosfet. I'll list the watercooling equipment i have planned below, but i will need a bit of help with selecting the motherboard chipset equipment.
Processor Watercooling Equipment
1xSwiftech Apogee GTX Universal CPU 3/8" and 1/2" ID
1xBlastFlow Extreme Triple 120mm Radiator
1xSwiftech MCP655 Laing D5 Vario 1/2" ID pump
1xAlphacool Cape Coolplex Pro 50 Reservoir
VGA Watercooling Equipment
2xBlastFlow Siberian 8800GTS Cooling Plate
2xBlastFlow Siberian Modular VGA Block
1xBlastFlow Extreme Triple 120mm Radiator
1xSwiftech MCP655 Laing D5 Vario 1/2" ID pump
1xRepack Cooling 5.25" with UV LED
Chipset Watercooling Equipment
1xBlastFlow Extreme Single 92mm Radiator
1xLaing DDC Ultra 12V 18W pump
1xReservoir for Laing DDC pump
Now for the actual waterblocks, this is where i was hoping you guys could keep me right. I don't see anything for the 780i mobo and i'm not sure if the stuff you have in stock will fit. The motherboard has already been bought, so yep, any suggestions?
Additional Equipment and Fluids
3xInnovatek Protect IP
1xInnovatec 5.25" Internal/external Radiator Mount
Case Modification and Prep
Three hard drives will be mounted on three Scythe Quiet Drives, bottom HDD enclosures and 3.5 HDD chassis removed to make way for 2 radiators and hopefully 3 pumps. Custom fabricated left side panel with holes cut to accommodate 3x 120mm fans and 1x 92mm fan. Holder located on the roof of the case removed to make room for mounting the cpu radiator on the top 5.25 bay. My only worries are the F/P cables or the PSU getting in the way *fingers crossed*. The top of the Xaser VI is meshed, so i should get away with customising that.
Giving my infomation, is the planned setup possible?
What type and how many fittings will i need?
How much tubing do you think i will need?
What are the dimensions of the swiftech pump? (need to know if i can fit them all on the bottom of the case)
Is there anything you would change from the above setup? If so, What? and Why?
First of all, sorry for the extremely long and probably boring post. I tried to give as much detail on the specs and ideas as possible so you guys/girls understand what i'm planning to do and advise me accordingly.
