First off I just want to say that i'v been having issues with heat in a computer I just built while its idling the CPU's are running 55c(max operation temp) and the GPU are at 80c
Because of that I would like to water cool it.
I have no issues with case moding etc, and I am quite handy.
The computer parts are as follows:
1 LIAN LI PC-201A Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
1 Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
2 Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD7500AYYS 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
1 ASUS L1N64-SLI WS Dual L (1207FX) NVIDIA nForce 680a SLI MCP SSI CEB AMD Motherboard
2 BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXOC2E GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3
2 AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 Windsor 3.0GHz Socket F (1207 FX) 125W
1 ENERMAX Galaxy EGX1000EWL ATX12V/ EPS12V/ BTX Power Supply -
1 LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model
1 OCZ Flex XLC 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
My main concern is protecting my investment while still keeping it within a reasonable budget(max $1500). I'd like to keep the CPU around 35c and the GPUs some where close to that although it will probably be higher right so the main thing i need to know is should i use two loops? with two pumps etc or one loop also if like to use a full coverage block for the GPU's
What to you think this pc would take as far as radiators etc?
