this would be my 3rd dual loop ive had a few i5 setups and 775 setups i also build pcs for people sometimes ive setup many loops i thought about your idea first and might still go that way still im undecided because i was going to put the 5770s on universal blocks with quick disconnects because than later if i go to a fermi the loop can handle the larger heat output from them or if i end up going to 5870s the idea was basically to create a loop all alone on gpus that was super easy to change because the cpu loop will always stay the same but i tend to change gpus all the time so the idea of a dual loop was to allow easy expansion including cards with higher heat output also if i want i can just unplug the gpu pump if i dont have a block for my diff card and still use the cpu loop the 2nd loop would basically be a plug and play system that would handle all cards so i never have to worry about what gpu the vga loop can handle it thats my favorite idea BUT thats a very very expensive idea so i might end up a single loop it all depends on if i can come up with the $ for the dual loop i like your idea for the price and i like my idea for easy expansion and no worries knowing the loop can handle anything so in the end its your idea cheaper or my idea future proof ......... but cost 2x more



edit: i do like your NB block idea i will go with that full cover is not worth it its not reusable so im going your way on the NB block

Sorry to doubt your LC experience

Just the way you worded it sounded like a first time.

If you do go Fermi the idea of two 120mm rads may be an issue because those cards are probably going to be pretty hot. I know my 4870s dump mad heat into my MCR320 and the thought of running them on two 120mm rads makes me nervous

I am pretty sure that cosmos S can be modded to fit a quad rad up top

Plumbing universal blocks for crossfire is a pain in the butt. For the run from one card to the other it would be a good idea to get some 90 degree elbows otherwise things will get kinky

Oh and by the way the setup is looking pretty badass.

not after a 18hour work shift

i would get the thick extreme 120.1 rads or stack a dual rad on top of the triple rad on the top


and thank you i put a lot of work into it to get it looking like this

UPDATE

working on adding a SSD to the build and maybe the cooling upgrade more to come soon

Tuesday my liquid parts come in and ill post pics of the install and temps and such also have a G.Skill falcon 2 ssd going in also
