Greetings,
I have an odd question. I am attempting to eek out more performance from this external unit. I recently added a 2nd pump (DD-CPX Pro) and have the system cooling a slightly oc’d q6600 @ 3.0ghz along with a 6870 under an EK waterblock. My idle temps are 40 for the vid card, and 40(+-4) for the cpu. During gaming the temps rise to 50 for the card, and 55 for the CPU. I would like to add an additional radiator to the setup and I was looking at the Black Ice SR1 Low Air Flow 140mm unit along with an acrylic shroud(Tecnofront AirBox 140 )
My question is this:
Does it look like the acrylic shroud will fit the existing fan holes on the back of the zalman reserator? The fan for the zalman is a 140mm unit and from the looks of it the holes should line up. I just wanted a 2nd opinion b/4 I pull the trigger on this.
Also Is the blackice rad a copper unit? Or is it aluminum?
Thanks for looking!
