I'm building the cooling system first, then buying the actual hardware.
Space is NOT an issue for me since I will be running an open desktop case with the rad, pumps and res external.
The configuration is:
Res / air-trap (home-made) 5/8" -> 1st AQX -> 1/2" 2nd AQX -> Nexxxos -> Fusion HL GPU -> Custom low-flo Nbridge block for DFI NF4 -> split to 1/2" bypass and Silentstar HDD Dual + 3/8" MOSFET block -> car Radiator (40cm x 30cm core) -> Res
When the flow splits, I mean one branch will literally be just a 1/2" pipe, the other branch will be 1/2" to the Silenstar and then 3/8" to the MOSFET block. This will mean minimal flow resistance, but also not much flow to the MOSFET or HDD, but they hardly need any flow anyway.
As yet, I have no idea of the C/W, not having anything to hook it up to! I am prepared for the estimation though, with 4 probes to measure CPU die temp, GPU die temp, water temp and air temp.
I'll be posting a full run-down when I get it all running in a few months' time.

Looking forward to your future post.
