Which pump and res should i use? Dimastech easy XL project

[Onglar]

In the near future im going to build a water cooled dimastech build with 2 360mm rads on each side, only CPU block for now until AMD releases Vega or NV releases the 1080ti.

I currently have an MCP35x pump with a butchered res im going to replace anyways. What would be the simplest and cleanest pump / res setup in this case? Ive been thinking about bay res + pump combo but they dont really hold a lot of water. I dont know.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I can use the pump i already have if there's a solution that lets me use it, but i can also buy a new pump + res combo. Im going to buy a new reservoir regardless.

EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (incl. pump)
- Maximum pressure head: 3.9m
- Maximum flow: 1500L/h

very very easy to fit

$147.81


Why do you need 2 360mm radiators for CPU only? Or are you thinking about future proofing with 1080ti?

That's what I have works fine.

Its so i can potentially put a gpu into the loop later on

2 360mm rads is excessive for a cpu/gpu loop.

Im using a MoRa 3 PRO atm, which is a thick thick 360mm x3 basically, so actually it'd be a downgrade in terms of cooling.

Just went water for the first time and I agree /\ /\ ; - however I see the OP's point too. If he'd said he already had a 360 for a heavily overclocked CPU and wanted to add a 240mm for a GPU I probably wouldn't of thought it was quite so excessive. So a 360 and a 360 instead of a 360 and a 240 sounds fine if that's what makes you more comfortable and if you don't mind overkill and may even go for a dual GPU setup in future; and especially if you have room -- which from the dimastech pic above I see you do Wish my place wasn't as "busy" so I could get an 'open bench' but worried about people poking around the place could damage.

Anyway good luck with your build Onglar.

There aren't any Intel chips that can overwhelm a good 240mm rad with a heavy clock...I have played this game before and I was all for above and beyond, but its just useless IMO. A single good 360 would handle that setup fine lol even with both clocked heavily.
