Hi all,
I am new to watercooling and have a few questions on which I hope you can help.
System Specs:
===========
Chieftec BigTower Dragon
AMD XP 2200+ (133 FSB)
MSI K7N2 Delta-L
2*Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB (Raid0)
Plan Upgrade to: Sapphire 9800 Pro 128MB 256Bit
768MB DDR333 (PC2700)
Zalman APF 400 (380W)
DVD-Burner
CD-Burner
So, I plan my first Watercooling Setup. I picked the following Parts:
Watercooling Setup:
===============
Radiator: Aqua Computer Airplex Evo 240
Pump: Eheim 1048 600l/h (~158 US-Gallones/h)
Reservoir: Innovatek Reservoir for Eheim Pumps
CPU: Aqua Computer Evo Rev. 1.1 CPU-Cool
GPU: Aqua Computer Twinplex GCardCooler
HDD: hmm???
Northbridge: hmm???
Temp-Controller-Display: hmm???
Questions:
========
1) If Im cooling all those parts of my system, do i need a casefan anyway? (if yes, where place it best? 80mm?)
2) Does the Pump Eheim 1048 have enough power (gph) to serve my system? I've read that the Eheim 1250 produces a lot more noise.
3) What do you think of the Components? Can you recommend me some alternatives? Im also hoping to bring down the prize a little more.
4) Should I use two 120mm Fans to cool the Radiator or will one be sufficient? Will there be room for OC or do I need a bigger Radiator for that?
sorry for the bad english,
thx & greez,
vapo
