Quac over at Petras Tech Shop helped me put this together this water cooling build for my evga 750i FTW/e8500/sli evga GTX 285 build.

This is my jump over to liquid cooling so I did as much research as I could before this purchase. So I hope I did well, let me know.


1x Petra'sTech CoolKit Elite - Rev.3
(1) Swiftech Apogee GTZ w/Socket 775/1366 Kit (Universal 1366 Kit)
• (1) Laing DDC-3.2/MCP355 12V DC Pump w/XSPC Top
• (1) Swiftech MCR320-QP Triple 120mm Radiator (w/fittings)
• (3) Yate Loon D12SL-12, D12SM-12, or D12SH-12 120mm x 25mm Fans - I decided to go with different fans than the ones that came with the kit.
• (10') 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Masterkleer Tubing
• (1) 1/2" OD Black Nylon T-Fitting
• (10) Stainless Steel Worm-Drive Hose Clamps
• (1) Swiftech Chrome Plated Brass Fillport/T-Line Cap

• (1 bottle) Petra'sTech PT_Nuke -PHN Biocide

$267.99
* I bought 3 of these from newegg instead.(Scythe "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38mm 133.60 CFM) Quac told me they would be pretty damn loud and suggested staying with the standard fans in the kit. But I wear a gaming headset so it really would'nt bother me if they made some noise. Plus I will have it on a fan controller aswell.

1x Swiftech MCRES-MICRO
Rev2
Reservoir $25.95

3x 1-3/4" Stainless Steel Thermochill/BIP/BIX Fan
Screws (Packof 4) $4.25
*I had to get these to mount the bigger 120mm x 38mm fans I bought.


1x EnzoTech SLF-1 One-Piece Forged Copper Southbridge Cooler
(w/Fan) $16.99

2x ENZOTECH MOS-C1 Mosfet
Heatsink Kit $19.90
*I had a heck of a time deciding what to do with my mosfets and ram around the CPU. So I did some reading and this seemed to be the best solution for a 750i FTW

1x EnzoTech BMR-C1L Pure Forged Copper Ramsinks - Low Profile
(Pack of 8) $12.95

1x EK 780i EVGA Northbridge Chipset Liquid Cooling Block -
(EK-NB 780i) $44.95
*I had to shop elsewhere for a North Bridge water block. So I found this to be the most highly compatible block with the 750i NB. In the support sheet for the product it said it was compatible with the evga 750i ftw aswell, so that was a plus! Especially after looking for hours and hours for one =)
 
brave man, first time build and went with water...

(unless you mean first water build)
 
Yeah heh, sorry for the misconception. "First time water build". I've been building my own computers for about 9 years now, and overclocking them for 8 1/2 =)

I just noticed, I dont think I have any fittings for the north bridge block =( Unless they come with it.
 
Nearly the same build as me (WB and all) the only difference is I have two 8800GTS and used Fesor One coolant.
