I am finally going to take the plunge

Just a few questions though.

Here is what i plan to get

1987 chevette heater core

Hydor Pump from Dtek (unless you guys have a better recommendation, i plan on only cooling the CPU)

2 92mm fans for push pull

Tupperware for my shroud

Tubing

water block - this is where I am unsure what I need. My mobo lacks the 4 mounting holes, can you recommend a decent water block using the pressure clamps for the AMD athlon socket?

Any other suggestions appreciated.


I am pretty sure I will be mounting my rad on top of the computer. I currently have two 80 mm exaust fans blowing out the top of the comp. I was thinking about putting the rad over these and then placing another 92mm fan on top to pull the air the rest of the way.

Thanks!

sounds good, check out the swiftech block at www.swiftnets.com . they use the lugs and are plenty good performance wise. Good luck and welcome to water !

Go with 120mm fans!

The swiftech MCW-5000 uses mounting lugs, and is a pretty good block.

Pump wise, the Hydor is okay. I myself would go with a Danner Mag 2 or 3. They have a lot more head, which means more flowrate.

where can those pumps be purchased?

Danner pumpscan be purchased from futurepet.com

I've got a Maze3 that uses the socket tabs. Look for the Maze3SHD at www.dangerden.com .

I thought about the swiftech block, but the Maze attachments allow for greater flow.

Explain yourself.

No need for that 120mm fans...

He'll have more than enough flow from the 80's and he's allready use to the noise so what's the point in adding more?

My only concern would be dead spots due to not holding the 80's far enough off the heatercore.

It's not that big of a deal... Just another preformance thing...
If all you wat is it to handle the CPU, it's not that big of a deal.

In any event he can always add that shround and 92mm and come out fine!
