I was thinking the same thing.

I may be very well wrong but I recall seeing one shop in here having a couple of them on stock.

Did I see wrong?

Nevermind they changed the date to late June

Also Caseking has it for 18/06

If Caseking doesn't have it that other shop never had it so I probably was looking at a different item

New things I just ordered.

XSPC Razor GTX 690 - Full Cover VGA Water-Block







I will have 4 red LEDs that I will use to make it match the case lighting etc.



XSPC Razor SLI Flow Bridge



EK-MOSFET ASUS RF4 - Acetal+EN (Nickel)





PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 10ft Tubing - 1/2in. ID X 3/4in. OD - Onyx Black





ModMyToys 3-Pin Power Distribution PCB - 4 x 3-pin + 4 x 2-pin Block



I got the red LEDs with red sleves for the GPU blocks.



I got the new stuff to reuse my water block the Apogee XT with the LGA 2011 socket.

Nice, should be good. Decide on the case yet? Caselabs? or 900D?

That is going to have to wait..... I will get this case going then like in a few months upgrade.... just do not have the $$$ for a 500+ case now and the 900D is not any place to be found.... I LOVE the Caselab cases but OMG $$$$ but you get what you pay for.

Get rid of the Rad inside and go for a couple of other options...

1. Mount the second 360 rad in front of your HDD bay outside the case off the back.
2. Get rid of both 360 rads and mount a 480 on top and a 140/120mm rad rad where the rear exhaust fan is.
3. Keep the 360 rad on top mount a 140/120mm rad on the bottom Intake in front of the HDD and one on the rear exhaust fan.
4. Keep 360 rad on top and mount a 200mm rad on front in take fan along with 140/120mm rad on rear exhaust fan.

Reason being you do not want that 360 rad inside the case exhausting all that hot air inside the case.

Next

You do not need two pumps or two loops.

Stick with one loop and one pump. A good Pump will easily push all of that especially with low restriction blocks and rads. Something like a MCP-655-B w/ Variable speed control. Moving the 360 Rad outside the case would also free up room to bring a tube style PUMP/RES inside the case if you wish.

My other suggestion would be go for a good set of compression fittings, Quick Disconnects, and a Drain port.

BTW I can vouch for the single Pump single loop pushing this setup up because my last rig had 3x GTX 680's, i7 3770k, 1x 360 RAD, 1x240 rad, and 1x 140 rad. I had no issues pushing that setup. Plus with what I just described should be able to cool your setup with no problem... it cooled mine.

I already have a pump and rez from my last computer.

 

[Knight091]

What I have already....Enough barbs to sink a ship and then some...lol I am going to have one rez up top in the case and the other mounted on the back.

Ya I know.



I got these for the back rad. I also got them for the and rez. I looked at how the back rad would mount and I had to get these or it would not fit the tubing...

[Knight091]

All the parts shipped. I also ended up getting a new pump as well. The one I have is worn out. I got the pump with the red sleeve color to match the rest of the red in the case.

I got the new stuff to reuse my water block the Apogee XT with the LGA 2011 socket.

I have the Apogee HD and the mounting system is superb, just place the waterblock and screw in.

So damn easy. I can just repaste my waterblock in like 2 minutes if I decide so. Without draining

 

[Knight091]

Does any one know if one pump will be enough for this build? It got me thinking about how long this loop will be.

 

[radrok]

Is it a d5 vario?

 

[Knight091]

It is this one.

d5 vario then.

More than enough.

Ya I love my water block. I had one with the LEDs etc but this one does the job and does it well. I love how large the surface is for taking all the heat off the CPU. Great water block.

 

[Knight091]

The stuff will be here tomorrow. I love Performance PC's.com. They are nice and always have some of the best stuff for water cooling. It also helps that I live in Fl so I can order and have the stuff next day for cheap....I should really get a discount for promoting them...sigh....

 

[radrok]

Wow I just noticed, that XSPC VGA waterblock has a ton of inlet/outlets

You are in Italy...sigh I always wanted to go their.... People come to America for FREEDOM but I want to leave.....see the world and not be so sort sided like most are here. We get our news from TV and our news is so one sided it is funny. Guess if I was in Antarctica I would not need water cooling...ROFL

 

[Knight091]
