Watercooling System for Birthday.......In April

[xCarne_Asada]

I have been discussing water cooling with my mom and dad and they seem to be sold on the idea. So from my mom watercooling custom system, and from dad a modded a new case.

Watercooling Kit.
Danger Den Maze 2 Waterblock
Blackice Xtreme Radiator
2-3 H1A Panaflow 120mm
Koolance Reservoir or Custom Built PVC Reservoir w/ 500gph pump
Artic Silver 3
All 1/2" fitting

Case:
Lian PC 70 w/ Server Bay window and Custom built bay bus for fans, so i can control the temps and sound of my watercooling system

My friend is going to help me set it up when i get it. I am just starting out with cooling my cpu, then maybe add my video card and chipsets. Input is welcome. Thanks

Great Luck!
Wish my parents would buy me stuff like that....of course I am 37....but I can still wish!

LOL... im only 17... and i still wish my parents would buy me a watercooling kit :D :D i have to buy my own :( :(

but its cool... just got done JBWELDing on some 3/8" barbs onto my heater core...

Back to your system... it looks great...
but if it were me... i would ease down on the pump speed...

heater cores and black ice's are known for having little pressure drop... that means that your water is gonna be moving through the radiatar too fast to cool it effenictly... with a slower pump you would get better temps

just my 2 cents :D :D

Thanks Scottland, How do you think a 300gph work?

Everything i relative. If you have a big rad then you need a powerful pump but not too powerful. 300gph should be fine. If you can, get a pump with an adjustable pressure gauge on it so you can experiment with different amounts of water. This would be helpful for lots of testing.
