what do I need to replace?
Its a Kandalf LCS that I really like the size of, plenty of room to maneuver hose in, pre-made space for a massive radiator, and more drive bays than the cd duplicator at church. The only problem is that since I bought it I have read nothing but bad things about tt water cooling.
I haven't used it yet, still waiting on a couple parts, but I want it before winter-een-mas if possible. I guess some specs are needed to know what I need before anything can be recommended.
Q6600
Abit IP35 Pro
Corsair Dominator 2x 1gig pc8500
GeForce 8800GLS 320mb
Raptor 150gb
WD 250gb
WD 80gb
I will be cooling the cpu and overclocking it to a comfortable level. Nothing that will get me reaching for a peltier, but I would like to get my moneys worth. I might cool the raptor, but that is a later upgrade. I really don't know about the GLS. I might try to get something with more ram but for the immediate future it is what I have.
So I know I need a new pump simply because the supplied one will die in 3-6 months. The reservoir will just be replaced with a T tube and a fill hole (the case is tall enough it will probably hold the same amount). And I will probably mix my own coolant as I've found no less than a dozen places with ratios to use.
Any suggestions for pumps or blocks? I'm attracted to an eheim but that is just my love of metal over plastic. Something that tucks away up front under the hdd bay would be fine.
All that is well and good but what about the radiator? I don't think I've seen anything saying to replace it specifically. And what about the hoses and fittings that came with the radiator?
