Time constraints and just a total lack of local resources have caused me to put off my xtreme home-made watercooling setup (Which consisted of a 25 gallon aquarium, several cleaned aluminum and copper heater cores [I have a total of 4], and a cleaned small aluminum radiator).
I broke down and ordered my Koolance PC2-601BW today, complete with the 200W gold CPU waterblock and motherboard chipset block.
I was just wondering what kind of cooling upgrades you can do to it.
- Pumps
- Waterblocks (that's a no brainer)
- Fan setup (The case appears to have 3 rear 80mm and 3 80mm for the heater core)
- Heater core/heat exchanger
I'm not sure of the resevoir size, so I'm not sure of what kind of pumps it can be replaced with.
As for the fan setup, which would be better for the heater core, drawing into the system, or blowing out?
And the heater core... through personal automotive experience, I know how hard it is to find a heater core that fits into a 5 1/4 bay.
Now for the waterblocks.. I've been kind of out of the loop lately and just visited DangerDen for the first time in about three months and found out the MAZE-3 is out. So what is the currently, best performing waterblock?
Damn it has been a long time since I was here last...
