Well as the subject says, I need some Guidance as i have not water cooled in years. Had a Danger Den Maze 1 for my coppermine and a RBX for my Athlon years ago, guessing 2003 and prior was when I last had my feet wet. Oh and i was an evaporator kind of guy for anyone who remembers the BONG craze of way back when.
So basically were I am at now is....
Or i should say i am wanting to cool this:
Core i7 940
X58 MoBo
4870 1GB
Inside a CoolerMaster HAF 932 case.
I know I can fit a Triple RAD in the case roof.
It already has a fill Port drilled in.
My MoBo (GA-EX58-EXTREME) is water cooler ready with Copper block and 3/8 barbs
Gigabyte says to use 1/2 OD housing.
For the RAD I think I should go :
Feser One X-360 TFC Xchanger
Pump:
Swiftech MCP655
CPU Block:
Danger Den MC-TDX
Video:
Danger Den DD-4870
Now for the Hard Part
1/2 Housing is best correct?
Do i need a converter for the water block on my NorthBridge?
What Tubing Do i need?
Are the parts I am thinking about getting the right ones?
What other parts do i need to get this up an running?
Or any other guidance for me.
Reason I want to go back to water is I have grown accustom to quite computing. And my overclock right now i very limited by that. I cant push past 4.1GHz unless i want to make my ears bleed.
Thanks for all your help in Advance, I feel like such a WC noob all over again.
