Laing D5,
Blocks:
Ek 8800gtx block x2 (another 8800gtx),
D-tek fusion,
Ek striker blocks,
OCZ flex xlc water cooled ram (cas 3 variant) (4 sticks),
Koolance HDD packs x3,
Rads:
Alphacool black ice gtx 360, (already have)
Alphacool black ice stealth 240,
Alphacool black ice stealtch 120.
+ all other bits n bobs

Will the pump be enough?
would i be better with dual loops?
Will the radding be enough?
thanks
 
You shouldn't need that last 120mm rad, but the rest looks good.

Those HDD pads are somewhat known for leaking.
 
oh :( well what would you recomend instead? my dual rad fixes on the front of the HDD cage so the HDD coolers need to fix into the norm slot.
ill keep that other rad, i like things cool :)
what order would you recomend i put everything?

Click to expand...

To be honest, with the results of Google's recent HD survey, they proved that going the extra mile for cooling provided no benefit. As long as the drives are under their operational temperature (about 55c) they all fail at random times.

A single 120mm fan would be enough.

If you want to fit them into a 5.25 bay (a CD rom bay) I suggest the nexus Disktwin. This is the most silent thing I've ever seen. It dropped my raptor's seek noise by around 9dba, which is amazing IMO.

And yeah, if you have the room, might as well run that last rad... but trust me, it won't be doing anything.

As for order, it doesn't really matter... pump, block, gpu, gpu, rad, rad, res, pump or something.
 
ok, well the HDD, maybe ill leave them out. if i did, they need to go in 3.5" slots. what would you recomend?
i was thinking, pump, triple rad, cpu, mobo, ram, single rad, gfx 1, gfx 2, dual rad, res.
what do you think?
