watercooling. what do i need?

RoyalMarine

so far ive got

Thermaltake P500 Pump DC12
Thermaltake all copper CPU water block

any good ideas for a rad, tubing size, and res?
ill need 2 gpu blocks for my 2 8800gt.

my case will be custom build so size isnt a problem.
would prefer to get everything inside the case. dont want an external res or rad.

will be used to cool some pretty intensive hardware so best performance is essential.
so i think a 3 fan rad is needed.

if i were you i would get rid of the thermaltake crap , go for the brans like swfitech,laing,ek,dd.

for cooling 2 cards and a cpu ur gona need a PA120.3 or maby a dual loop or you could could a swifthtech 360 + 240 rad with a good pump.

if i were i would go for :

d-teck fuzion(good flow for a large loop)
theromochill PA120.3(BEST RAD ON MARKET)
EK res
ek full gpu block or swiftech gpu block (for this you will need ram sinks)
and a LAING D5 OR DDC3.2 with petras top

you can get all these at http://www.petrastechshop.com/ (i highly reccomend these guys) shipping will be around 50$ but i works out cheaper in the long run,i would get the PA120.3 of a english suppler since is cheaper for shiiping.

what tubing size can i use with them?

awhir, thanks for the info. i think ill stick to your suggestions

try getting the rad and tubing from uk as they are the haviest things ur getting so they will add a good price to ur rad.

this tubing is nice smaller then 1/2" but still fits,you will not need clamps for this size tubing.
