(Below are some useful links, they are in no particular order) What case gives you the room you'll need, size of Radiator(s) that fit, how to test, how to maintain the loop.

Library of links to good informa 2016/08/17 11:25:24 (permalink) I think this belongs here too. This topic is about bending your hard pipes. Makes it look nice, but takes loads thinking and doing. Might not be the best choice for starters (but who am i to deny? Go for it.). Also, i used paper to calculate my circulation; which fittings and where. Good luck all who is about to do some watercooling, its really nice http://www.overclock.net/...crylic-pipebending-101 i5-2500k @ 4,2ghz / P8Z68 V-LX / Evga GTX770 SC / 8gig G.Skill DDR3 / HX650 / Corsair 750D / EK blocks, 240+360 Alphacool Rads #2

Your title, though, reminds me of this (lol) : #3

Library of links to good informa 2016/08/26 09:27:26 (permalink) This is great. I spent a very large amount of time bringing my dual 980 hydrocopper rig online. 2 radiators, and 6 fans keeps the cpu and ambient water temps at a steady 45c to 48c #6
