building my 1st i7 system here :)

swiftech MICRO-RES - laing MCP655 pump - feser 360 rad - heatkiller 3.0 LT - swiftech MCW-NBMAX - feser 240 rad - gtx 285 h2oc in SLI - repeat
 
i would do the res>pump>heatkiller>northbridge>240>285>360>repeat, that way the pump doesnt get really hot, just my 2 cents though, i dont think it should make that much of a diff
 
Pretty pricey for the rads alone. Nice quality parts though.

Loop order seems fine.

The NB block isn't really necessary. In most cases a simple 80-120mm standing on your vid card blowing over the NB is sufficient.
 
lilfiend, i'm changing my setup to what you have suggested. that's a great idea! thank you.

driveeuro, i wish i had known sooner (northbridge block), otherwise i wouldn't have bought it. :(

i read somewhere on the net that the 920's are really hot. so i splurged on the two feser rads and 10 scythe "E" fans for a push-pull configuration, 4 scythe "E" fans inside the case all controlled by 2 zalman mfc-1 plus b fan controllers (the other 2 fans controlled via mobo). i would really like to hit 4ghz or better as my 24/7 setup.

if anyone else out there would like to provide additional suggestions, i would really appreciate it.

Really, no matter what order you put it in... With that much radiator space, you can't go wrong.

Do whatever is the cleanest looking.
 
those i7's are hot but make sure that your board is a good oc'er, i ran into a brick wall with my ph2 940 at 3.8ghz, any higher and it will bsod, my mobo wont let me give it enough voltage and my mobo seems to be completely incompatible with every software voltage changer out there! i know it will do 4.2ghz but i need a new board bad. Also why is cooling the nb such a bad idea, i have no case fans now so my nb gets up to 65C and i dont like that, i was thinking of putting that under water too.
