Now that's a proper setup right there, a solid inch and a half between cards. Some mobo manufacturers only give you a centimeter between them. :shadedshu

That looks really good, although I can't say that I like how far the cable management holes are from the mobo on that case. I know you most likely don't want to cut up your new nice case, but I think it'd be nice to cut holes where I outlined them on the pic. Then, your 24-pin and PCIe connectors would have less distance to travel, you could route the front panel connections straight up, and you could route the SATA connections through the hole beside them and have them come out of the already cut one. You could even put some red grommet around the newly cut holes and original holes for extra flare.



Edit: Eh, I don't know if that'd be such a good idea. You'd have no way to secure the PSU cables besides tape or something, with the holes where they're at now you can use the little cable tie places to secure the cables.

i was going to but that i was like while i am spending like days making the cables they are messy/clean give a cook sifi cable everyplace look but still really clean thats why i did not cut holes

i thought that through a lot before i powder coated it but i did sooo much cable work need to shot off some of it lol

also like i said in person the cables honestly are 100% black so it looks super great i know in the pics color shines through but in real life the are 100% black and look amazing

water cooling is my next big step once i have the cash to put it together how i want thinking about a dual loop with that xspc res with dual pumps one loop cpu and NB and one loop video cards its just i need to save up the case to put it all together heres a list of what ill need

1: 120.3 rad
2: xspc dual pump res
3: 2 swiftech mcp355's
4: 2 universal GPU blocks (so i can change them later to diff cards)
5: black tubing
6: heatkiller 1366 block
7: 1/2 fittings on all of it
8: 2 thick single rads for the vga loop
9: quick disconnects on the vga so i can change them around easy
10: some kind of NB block for the asus rampage 2 extreme

once i have the $ for all that ill go liquid im gonna go for it when i got the $ to do it all 100% how i want it so i dont have to change it later

A dual loop may be a bit overkill for your setup. The 5770s don't make that much heat and since you would only have 4 blocks two pumps is a bit extreme.

A decent 120.3 rad and a 120.1 at the back or bottom of the case would be sufficient.

Just make sure you get thicker rads from EK, Feser, Thermochill or similar. The Swiftech rads would work but the temps would be a bit higher.

I know that EK and swiftech make single waterblocks that bolt right onto the existing heatsink of the Rampage board you have.

If it were me I would start with a single loop to see what temps are like and I would decide on a dual loop from there. That way you won't have to fork out as much money in one go to find out that it is a bit overkill.

Not that there is anything wrong with overkill, its just a big jump to go from no watercooling to a complex dual loop setup.
