And a T-Line. I recommend 5/16 ID tubing (even if it's a PITA to get onto that pump) because it's like 1/2 ID without all the bulk. For the t-line, pick up a tee from petrastechshop.com. The OD of the tee has to match the ID of the tubing. You would need a 5/16 OD tee for your system if you get 5/16 ID tubing.

 

Btw, you really dont need a 360 mm rad if you are not cooling a quad and sli video cards. I am cooling a quad with a 240 mm rad and it works just fine.

 

Also, for rad fans, get these, they are a bit on the loud side of quiet, but they push more are than almost every fan in it's class.

I chose the Swiftech MCP655 pump myself but im still kind of new to the liquid cooling thing, I believe either res's will be ok, ive seen a lot of people suggest the Swiftech MCR320-QP-K Triple 120mm Radiator (the one I ended up getting for my rig).

 

is this for a cpu only or are you going to be putting the NB and/or GPU(s) in the loop as well?

Go with the Laing pump and the top, and the swiftech radiator, I use a t line on 2 rigs and a reservoir on another, I had one laying around so... A reservoir makes it a lot easier to fill and bleed but is not necessary. Also I use 7/16" tubing on my 1/2" fitting, not sure about that 5/16" never heard of it myself. The Black Ice radiators are harder to get air through, so if you go that route get some high cfm fans...

 

Edit: Which cpu block are you looking at?

At this moment it is going for a C2D solely, then later on it will be for a Core i7 and NB setup, I'll have another loop set up for a sli setup, so this loop right now will solely be cpu and nb. also, how do you like your Rad ?

 

and is the MCP655 better than the Danger Den pump?

The CPU block I'm looking at is the Apogee GTZ

http://www.petrastechshop.com/swapgtzcpuwa.html

 

and what top was that? the first one or the res top?

 

I don't really know anything about T-lines, so I'm not trying to get too advanced into things yet.

 

Thanks for the replies

The laing DDC top, I would pick the swiftech reservoir if you going with a reservoir. A T line and fill port just takes the place of the reservoir to give you a place to fill and bleed.

heres an example picture...

Thanks for the pic,I'll think about the T-line, but most likely end up with the swiftech res.

also my case is the cm stacker 830, so i should have room for all this right ?
