Hi guys, I am a noob when it comes to watercooling. I have had enthusiast computers but always with top of line air cooler. I want to adventure into WC for my new setup and I need your help on parts selection. My current setup is as follows:
i7 920 @ 4.2ghz on air (maybe will be i7 970 @ 4.5)
2 6990's stock (will be OC'd tho)
Corsair AX1200w
Corsair 700D
Now I was thinking of taking out the bottom harddrive rack and placing a 2x120 there and place a 3x120 up top. Will those 2 rads be enough to cool everything? What if I double stacked 2 2x120's down there? I have had a look around and like the looks of EK's products but have no clue on how they perform. I like this resevoir/pump: EK-DDC X-RES 100 Custom Pump but will it be strong enough for the loop? Any help is greatly appreciated
The TL;DR version:
Please list the best 3 x 120, 2 x120, 1366 cpu waterblock, pump, resevoir and 6990 block that would be best for my setup
