Corsair Obsidian 800D Components

[Soultaker666]

Hey all,

I am building a new WC system and am looking for a little guidance. I am going to buy the Obsidian 800D case from FrozenCPU. When ordered from FrozenCPU they fill it with their own parts and specs and I am wondering if they are good enough for the parts/components I am looking to cool.

Motherboard Cooling: EVGA X58 FTW3 (Cooling the CPU & Chipset)

GPU's: x2 EVGA 470GTX Fermi

Water blocks
CPU: Koolance CPU-360

Chipset: Bitspower Black Freezer EIX58NS EVGA Intel X58 North / Southbridge Combo Block(1/2" ID Barbs)

GPU's: DD-GTX470 Nickel Base with Smoke Acrylic Top

The case is in a dual loop configuration with a triple rad on top(Feser Triple Radiator) and a double rad on the bottom(Hardware Labs Dual Radiator). With the rads there are 2 pumps as well(Swiftech MCP350 Pumps x 2). I was thinking of putting the CPU & Chipset on the triple rad and the GPU's on the dual rad. Will this setup be able to cool those parts sufficiently? I will be doing some overclocking. Thank you for looking.

This is what you bought or are thinking about buying?

I would NOT order from Frozen CPU. You don't need all those rads for 1 CPU and 2 GPU's and you don't need mobo cooling. One RX360 is enough for 2 470's and 1 CPU that's what my setup consists of.

I paid under $500 for my whole setup. My rad, gpu blocks and pump were the only things I bought used. You'd be saving a lot of money piecing your own stuff together.

For below fans, fittings and PT Nuke are missing. If you want silence get some Gentle Typhoons if you do not care about noise the UK's work great for cheaper loud alternatives. The pump goes into the res so you'll be saving space in the case and fittings are your choice you can do 1/2 barb fittings or you can do 1/2 compression fittings with the 1/2 tubing.

Before doing anything though I'd shop around for the lowest new prices and browse the FS section for anything used. When it comes down to it that FrozenCPU setup is pretty pricey.

I appreciate the response. No, I have not ordered it yet but thinking about it. I did piece together my own and it was going to be just as pricey with a single loop. I do like the idea of a dual loop as then I can mix different colored tubing together. This is what I had pieced together from Danger Den.

Tower: Black-Series Tower 26

Radiator: Black Ice SR1 480

Pump: DD / Laing DDC 3.2 - 12V 18 Watt Version

Reservoir: DD-RAD-Reservoir

Fans for Radiator: x4 COOLER MASTER Excalibur R4-EXBB-20PK-R0 120mm Radiator Fan
CPU Waterblock: Koolance CPU-360

Northbridge/Southbridge Waterblock combo: Bitspower Black Freezer EIX58NS EVGA Intel X58 North / Southbridge Combo Block

Video Card Blocks: DD-GTX470 Nickel Base with Smoke Acrylic Top(CrossSLI Fitting Package)

I am going to cool the motherboard as the stock Southbridge heatsink has tendencies to get in the way of my GPU's that and I want to cool as much as possible(minus the RAM, HD's and Mosfet).

I am building a WC with 800d also. How do you plan to do a radiator on the bottom? Modding or without? Can you describe how you plan to get 2 pumps and 2 res in there? Need some ideas on best way to build mine. I am doing 2600k and 2 580 probably but not motherboard or anything else.

thanks
