would like some opinions

jr1 · Mar 1, 2008

hi
would like to get some opinions from you guys since i'm not that experienced with watercooling
what i have is sapphire cpublock from enzotech http://www.enzotechnology.com/sapphire_cpu.htm
and a reservoar from swiftech http://www.swiftnets.com/products/MCRES-MICRO.asp

that's what i have for now
now to my thinking of waterpump i was figuring this here would be an oki one http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcp655.asp
and for rad i was thinking of this here one http://www.hwlabs.com/gen2/gtx/gtx120.htm

for tubing i was thinking of going with 1/2" ID

any input will be apreciated
thanks
kenneth

almost forgot
it will be cooling an amd athlon 5600 dualcore socket am2

Rad is on the msall side, IMO 220 is ideal.

people seriously need to use the search function lol
there must be a dozen of this same post each week. If I had the time I would build a search/counter to count all the new threads on this topic... i suspect since Jan/08 it would be getting close to 100 threads

id say go for a mcr220 or mcr320 instead

but the pump, block and reservoir are all good parts

I would recommend a Thermochill PA series radiator and a D-tek Fuzion cpu waterblock with the nozzle kit. Everything else looks good.

hi again
now that dual rad leads to a probably dumb question but here it comes
what would the effect be if i made a shrud to fit one 120 fan pulling the air from outside ant thru the rad and out on the other side
given of course that i cut a whole in the side that fits the rad and the fan on the inside and from the fan just going thru a duct and out on the other side

thinking of eficiencyloss and so on compared to use 2X 120 fans

i would find a way to put something bigger on.

look at mine.

jr1 · Mar 2, 2008

looks good hank
my problem is limited space on the outside :-(( unfortenutly
therefor i would like to have it on the inside just above where you have your fan on the side, the reason for using only one fan is only for the noise
with the mesh tower i'm not gone have a problem fitting it in there
this is the tower i'm waiting for http://www.chieftec.com/ca-01b-b-b.html

limited space?? that case is huge

you can easily fit a dual rad anywhere inside it and a triple rad many places as well

hi again
jepp it's pretty big
that's why i piced it since i can hide almost everything inside it and i have to.
on the outside i just have 1 to 2 inches on each side and maybe 4 on top of it
and another good reason for me is that there is space for 10 hdd's in it 9 if i'm gone have a floppy in it too
