everything looks perfect except for one thing, if you are going with BIX series rads, you may wanna go with a little more powerful fans, more in the 95-120cfm range, for the BIX series rads to be at full use.

Don't forget to get arctic sliver 5 and clamps. Local Hardware store has cheap clamps.

BIX2 should be enough and more for your system. Also it will be easier to install. These fans might be kinda loud so if you don't have it yet to get a fan controlling device.

Ok, ill go with this fan and this fan controller. I already have some AS5. What kind of clamps are the best? I was going to go with the metal ones that you screw tight, but is there anything better?

Thanks for the input so far.

hey dc

welcome to the forums, at least to the posting part of it (I just got above post 1000 lol). anyways. That system you have looks awfully similar to the one I will be doing, except I chose to go with the blaceice pro instead so I can use slightly slower/quieter fans.

AFAIK at swc they have the ultra-high speeds on sale for like $10, why not just get those and use the controller on those?

well this is just a plan of what im gettn. not even sure if it will even happen. when the time comes for ordering, ill look into the prices and stuff like that. thanks for the heads up tho

good fortune with you new w/c setup dc,

i'm planning on building my first setup too but with lower(alot lower) end parts. update this thread with pics.

if your wanting to use low cfm fans youl be much better off with a thermochill PA series radiator - see here:

errmmmmm... isn't that kit set up for 1/2" tubes?

Janus67 · Dec 6, 2005

if you are referring to getting the 7/16'' tubing. Yes, yes it is. The reason people use 7/16'' is because after dipping the end of the tube in some hot water it will stretch over the barb, then when it dries it will shrink again to fit around it. This has a much lower chance of leaking.
