So now I am serious about moving to watercooling. From another thread I had, I will be moving the rad/reservoir completely away from the computer, possibly in another room.

Here is my rig.
i7 2600K @ 4.4Ghz
Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Gen/3
32GB Corsair RAM
MSI GTX 980 Ti 6G Gaming
XFX 1250W PSU
Samsung 830 Pro SSD (512GB)
Samsung 850 Pro SSD (512GB + 1TB)
Here are the water cooling components I have settled on. Price is not a concern for me.
CPU block: EK-Supremacy EVO Elite Edition - Intel 115x
GPU block: EK-FC980 MSI full cover block + backplate
Pump/reservoir combo: Twin D5 Dual Bay Reservoir/Pump Combo
Radiator: MORA 3 Pro
Tubing: PrimoChill PrimoFlex 1/2" ID tubing
Fittings for blocks:
3 x QD3 Female Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Male Threaded G 1/4 BSPP
3 x QD3 Male Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Compression for 13mm x 19mm (1/2in x 3/4in)
5 x EK-ACF Fitting 13/19mm - Nickel. 1 for the CPU block, 2 for the pump/res combo, and 2 for the MORA 3 radiator.
Liquid: Distilled water + kill coil.
Fans: 6 x PH-F140HP-II. Or maybe all 9?
Plan is to use the QDCs at the following locations.
1 x QDC at inlet of CPU block
Regular compression fitting from CPU block to GPU block
1 x QDC at inlet of GPU block
1 x QDC at outlet of GPU block
This configuration will net me the ability to isolate the CPU from the GPU or vice versa if I so wanted to.
The flow direction will be as follows:
Pumps (2 in series)/res combo > rad > CPU > GPU
Thanks in advance, and I'd appreciate any input and suggestions.
