Greetings all
I have been ghosting the forums for a while now reading until my eyes bled and am a point were I would really like some input .
I am in the process of upgrading my current config, changing cases and putting a real water cooling system in and would like to make it 100% internal.
Before I go on I just want to thank all of you for your brilliant insights, if it weren’t you I would be wondering which plug and play kit to buy next.
Cheers.
The Case I am going with is a lian-li pc-v2000 which I am going to partially gut out removing the first set of hard drive racks and the to make room for a 120mm radiator and pump.
This is where I start to start to second guess myself, because the size and configuration of the case it I want to also add a duel 80mm radiator in the rear of the case but am uncertain if this would cause too much load/back pressure in the system to make a worth while endeavor.
The cooling block configs I am lean towards are either:
Danger Den RBX
Danger Den NV-68
Danger Den Z-chip block ( but am really on the fence about this as most of the data seem to suggest that a good passive system works. Any thoughts?)
Or:
Danger Den TDX
Danger Den NV-68
And using a Y to split the line just before intake and rejoining after out take.
Radiators:
Black Ice Pro 120mm
Black Ice dual 80mm
One or both depending on what mines greater than myself have to say
Reservoir:
Dual 5.25
Pump:
DD12V-D4 or MCP650
I know why not I 120v with a relay switch
1.) Unless I misread, higher heat and more noise
2.) They scar the hell out of me, that and I have only seen three and none inspire my confidence.
In truth the only things I am really committed to in this setup is the case and the Danger Den NV-68, past that I am wide open to suggestions.
I am attaching a stock pic of the case to give a visual as to how I see the lay out so far the circled red areas are things I plan to remove.
I welcome any and all input of every level of this case and its contents
