So with tax season upon us and the outlook being very bright this year for me, ive decided I need (<--ha, need) to watercool my rig. I've been looking for a long time but can't really decide on what would be best for my situation. My goal is to create a MUCH quieter PC while also being a MUCH cooler one as well. Im interested in only a GPU loop and I have 3 6970s in here. I am using a silverstone FT02 but can be swayed into a different case that would be a better solution for me. Only requirements for the case is that it not look gaudy (I hate flashy LED shit...like simplicity..like the FT02) and i'd prefer not to pay the 600 dollars needed to get a TJ11 (though i'd like one).

The Magicool 3x180 radiator will be right up your alley. I see you already saw the other thread, so you know some modding is in order. The 3x180 radiator should yield more than enough surface area to cool your 6970s and CPU. You can add an additional 120 radiator at the top of you feel the need to.

That pump you were questioning is actually 2 MCP355 or MCP35x pumps with a custom dual-top. Now, I'm not sure of the maker of that top, but based on the styling, I'm guessing it's made by Aquacomputer.
 
Guess im just confused by the custom top thats on those pumps as what I see when I do a search for a MCP355 is NOT what's in his picture lol. I did some looking on aquacomputer's site and havent found anything resembling that top. Im also slightly confused by what exactly a top is. I understand that it sits on top of the pump but does it replace part of the pump assembly or just attach to the existing assembly?

Ok, after more looking I see that the top replaces part of the pump assembly.

This is what you're looking for. You will need to attach two MCP355 or MCP35x (also known as Laing DDC) pumps to it.

Aha! The shop part of the site I failed to look into, thank you sir.

I'm still also trying to figure your loop out Tsumi...I was under the assumption that both ports on the silver plate of the top are inlets but it appears the one on the right is an in and on the left is an out...or is something going on behind the scenes that cant be seen?
 
My loop or the guy with the FT02 loop?

I'm assuming you mean the guy with the FT02. In any case, this is what's happening. The ports on the right hand side (as seen in the picture from the link) are both inlet ports for the first (right) pump. You can choose to use either one, you would just cap the other port. Then, internally, that top redirects the output of the first pump to the input of the second (left) pump. The second pump then outputs to the two ports on the left hand side. You can choose which of the two ports it outputs to, once again, you just cap one of them.

I see...I didn't realize they were configurable. I was thinking you were the same guy that's got the FT02 setup..my bad but thanks for answering my question.

Im pretty smart mechanically, I just am leary about buying 800 dollars in cooling equipment and then dealing with them being the wrong parts...regardless of how much money I have to burn.
