Well, since I've been water cooling this rig for about 2 months now, I do not like the temps I get. So I am going to redo the entire setup. I'm not sure of some parts as far as what I need. This is what I want to do.
I want it to run very cool. The amount of noise from the fans doesnt bother me to much. So here is how I was thinking the would run starting from the pump throught the rest of the system.
From the pump (MCP655) to the cpu block (Swiftech Apogee, or Danger Den - RBX). From there it will (depending on the cpu block) either y or run straight to one vid card then to the next vid card. From the vid cards it will run to the rad (Black Ice X-Flow Pro II) then to the rez (Danger Den Single 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir ) back to the pump.
The rad will be mounted on a Swiftech MCB-120 Radbox Radiator/Fan Housing with 2 120mm fans.
A few things I need help on.
1. Which cpu block would be better for this? I want the least amount of restriction I can get. The Swiftech Apogee has two barbs which would mean less hose. The RBX would be ran with 2 y's instead of 1. More hose. Which is better suited for cooling x2 vid cards?
2. The vga cooling blocks. I've read so many things about them. But I cant decide on which one to get. The DD blocks arent high flow.. and I cant for the life of me find a high flow one. Which do you suggest?
I hope I can do it right this time. My wife is going to kill me for redoing this to begin with. But the cost isnt a problem. Yes I'm going with a rez cause I love the ease of bleeding the system. Makes things so much easier for me.
