I'm total newbie with wc and was going to get a Koolance PC2-650BU case until I went to this forum and read more about wc. From what I read for hours today, Koolance is not going to give me best performance and all of you are recommending DIY system. With the Koolance system, I would be spending may be close to $300 (with cpu and chipset waterblocks included). Anyway, I have put together items that I would like to get and see what you guys think. I would very much appreciate any suggestions or comments.
-White water CPU waterblock
-Danger Den Maze 4 chipset block for Intel chipset (IC7-Max3 board)
-Black Ice Pro II dual 120mm fans
-Panaflo 120mm fans X2
-Via Aqua 1300 with reservoir attached as inline
All these items added up to be a little less than $230 without shipping charges.
Anyway, here are couple of questions:
1) would I benefit from having a rad with dual fans or having a rad with one 120mm fan is enough?
2)anyone with the DD Maze 4 with same board and have any problem installing it? (it has hooks)
3)what do you guys think of the Via Aqua with inline reservoir?
4)what do you use to make the wc system to turn on/off as the computer is turned on/off?
