hi ive just finished building my pc and would like to start thinking about water cooling,

i will be cooling a maximus vs formula mobo, and intel i5 3370k and eventually 2x gtx 660ti's

i have a nzxt 630 case so room for 3 rads is possible,

what would you guys recommend?

i would like a clear cpu block with leds built in to it however thats not vital just something i seen and liked,

wheres the best place for parts? im not bothered about price however i dont want a loud pump or a expensive pump to run.

i live in the uk so cant get stuff from america however ive seen the t-res and i do like that lol

cheers and any advice would be great
 
Watercooling is no joke. You really need to do quite a bit of reading on the subject if you want it to go well the first time.

Aquacomputer, EK, Alphacool, XSPC, Bitspower, and Monsoon are all very trusted and well known brands. So look over what they have and either get a kit, or piece together what you like.

In that case, I'd go with a 360mm rad up top, and a 240 or 280 radiator in the bottom.
 
would it be better to use, triple 120 rads or double 140 rads? ill be getting the double thick rads as i got the space, only reason i ask is i find the 140mm fans to run quieter than the 120mm fans

what pump would you recommend for my set up?

like i say im not bothered about price as i want extra quality so there's less risk.

Wow the fabled 5x post!
I would do 2 x 280 rads should be more then enough room for that in your case and as an added benefit it will be nice and quiet with 140 fans.

yeah for some reason it posted 5 but haven't figured out how to delete them yet on this forum hmmmm.

i was thinking that and worst case i can put a 140 rad at the back but really doubt ill need it as its not exactly ever hot in England lol.

ive seen a few bits i like on steam so i will probably get the lot from them to save on multi deliveries. ill post a list of the bits soon to c if there any good

thanks for the help
