If any of you guys have experience watercooling and running loops I sure could use some advice.
The parts are pretty much as labeled except I have an extra EK Revo D5 pump in my possession.
Not sure if the order of tube to rad to block look right. I would have preferred to have one rad
in middle of cpu and gpus but that would create more tube length and insanity. What do you
guys think?
 
Thanks

    Thanks for the corrections. Looking up restriction data info and it seems that the AlphaCool and SR-2 are both 0.13 and the 360 GTS XFlow is 0.91 and the Heatkiller is at 0.85. Not sure what the restriction values are for the EK Classy KPE blocks. Anyone know?
     
    Also not sure if I can run a terminal bridge off of the Classy KPE 980ti Blocks? The EK specifications and warnings are confusing.
     
    Thanks

    Not really a Correction, they say you can go anyway.
    I like to have a Rad to help cool down the Coolant before it goes back into the Pump/Reservoir is all.
    What are you going to use for a Pump Controller?
     $169.99 CTR-CD1224 12V or 24V Pump & Fan Controller With Display   SKU: CTR-CD1224
    +2   $9.99 Coolant Temperature Sensor Plug, 10K Ohm   SKU: SEN-AP008G
    + 1  $19.99   INS-FM17N Coolant Flow Meter   SKU: INS-FM17N
    OR
     
    $29.99 INS-FM18 Coolant Flow Meter, Stainless Steel   SKU: INS-FM18
     
     
     
    Temperature Sensor, Flat, 10K Ohm   SKU: SEN-AP007P Comes with the CTR-CD1224 and you can set the Temps to shut down your computer at a given temperature.
    I have mine on the Bottom Site of my  New Water Block $89.99  CPU-390CI Water Block, Copper Top (Intel Processor)
    Then one  Coolant Temperature Sensor Plug Going into the First Water Block then one coming out the Last Water Block.

    Also I like the coolant coming from Rad to the Water Block then from the Pump as the Pump can heat the Coolant.
     
    If the Classy KPE 980ti Blocks are from EVGA (Hydro Copper) even if made by EK you Cannot use the EK SLI Water Block Bridge.

    My blocks are made by EK not EVGA. 
     
    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Why would I not need a flow meter? And aren't having both together redundant?

    One or the Other  CTR-SPD12X2 or the  CTR-SPD1224M not Both.
     
    The Flow Meter and other items above work only on the CTR-CD1224 is what I mean.
    With this Pump that is $76.99 PMP-500 Pump, G 1/4 BSP

    Well I love the digital display controller but not sure I could use it on my case where my rad I've placed in the front of the case blocks its usage plus I took out the 5.25 bay.

    Thanks

    Also I like the coolant coming from Rad to the Water Block then from the Pump as the Pump can heat the Coolant.
     



    I was under the impression that temps stabilize throughout the loop anyways.
     
    "When you boot up a powered off, water-cooled PC, the water and your CPU are at room temperature. When you boot the PC up, the chip gets hot very fast. The water moves over the chip, it begins to remove heat, the heat goes to the radiator, and some of the heat is removed. Not all of it can be removed. You have to know a lot of thermodynamics theory deeply (more than me) to know exactly why. The water begins to warm up slowly, and in time it reaches a balance: an equilibrium. Heat is made and heat removed, the loop is stabilized and temperatures will not change."

    All I can say is my Water temperature sensors tell me what the water Temps are going in and going out before a block and after a block.
    As I said above "they say you can go anyway" in Post #5 above.
    I have my way as other have their ways.
