Alright, so I'm planning out my next build. I finally decided that I would go with the Corsair 800D. So now, I'm entertaining the notion of trying my first water cooled build.
Now, since this is my first water cooled build, I want to keep it relatively simple. Also, since this is such an expensive case, I'd like to keep it intact, which means I won't be installing a second radiator. So that leaves me with having to make due with a 360mm rad.
Now, I would like to go for overclocks, but nothing major. If I were to build a computer today, I'd want to get an i7 930 running at 4.0GHz, and a single GTX 580 (with possible support for an SLI setup) with mild overclocks.
My main question is this: can I make due with a single loop? This approach looks much cleaner to me, and would obviously be far simpler as opposed to a dual loop system. Here's a shot of a setup that looks awesome to me:
I'm also looking to make a relatively quiet rig. That means having 120mm fans spinning no faster than 1200rpm, if possible. I have a feeling I may be expecting too much.
Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks.
