New Water Setup

MrMojo · Jul 24, 2004

Howdy ya'll, im building a water cooling system at the moment and want input on the parts ive decided on before i actually buy im...

Cpu Waterblock: Danger Den RBX
Chipset Waterblock: Danger Den MAZE4
GPU Waterblock: Danger Den MAZE4 GPU
Water Pump: Eheim 1250 Water Pump
Radiator: 2 x D-TEK Pro-120 Hi Performance Radiator
Reservoir: Typhoon-Quad Reservoir
Tubing: Tygon Tubing

All fittings and tubing are 1/2"

:attn:

all quality proven components

but for that many of them you need more pump pressure, i think the dieng D4 (or whatever, it's dangerden's 12v pump) has proven itself to be the best recently

you can save some money and less tubing by getting a 2 fan heater core instead?

I was wondering the same thing.

34.99*2=69.98-20.00 (2-199)=$50

I can only assume its a space issue.

can get clearflex instead, a lot lot cheaper from mcmaster. I'm sure someone here has the part number. It's like $.69 a foot or something. I don't think theres too much difference between the two.

yea i agree get the DD pump thing

Pretty much what I got. Work very well. :attn:

The clearflex60 from mcmaster is part number 5231k237. It's described as chemical pvc tubing. That part number is for 1/2" ID 3/4" OD 1/8" walls. That is what your looking for right?

As mentioned above, you can pick clearflex instead to save on money. You also don't really need that huge resevoir do you? If you can somehow manage a T-line instead that would save you space and money.

Also, are you looking to overclock pretty high? If so, you might get better performance out of your watercooling setup if you switch to a pump with higher head(since you'll have three waterblocks in the loop). A D4, especially seeing the new ones are nearly silent, is a good choice; as is a MCP600 which is known for its high head output. The price of these two pumps aren't that much more than the Enheim 1250 neither.
