CPU: AMD FX-6100 3.3GHz Socket 6-core AM3+ (FD6100WMGUSBX)
GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6870
RAM: 4GBx4 (16GB) G.SKILL Sniper Series 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
MB: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
Chassis: 4U rackmount case w/ 6 hot swap bays, 2 5.25 External bays, 2 3.5 external bays (one 5.25 bay used for Blu-ray Writer, one 3.5 use for card reader) mounted in a full-sized rack enclosure with Network Switch, Printer, PS3, DirecTV DVR, and Bose sound system on individual selves in enclosure.
Room: 10’x14’ Mancave in house kept in the 67-75 degree range depending on outside weather.
Goal: My goal for this setup is to eliminate as many fans as possible while keeping both my PC and my PS3 cool during extended play time. I want to eliminate the fans for noise reasons. I was also hoping by WC cooling, that the exhausted heat wouldn’t cause the room to heat up as much as my current air-cool system does. I want to use compression connectors because I like the clean look. I am also not worried about trying to fit everything in the chassis. In fact I was planning on using an external rackmount 3x120mm Fan plate, mounting the rad/rads on the inside of it with low-dB USB fans.
Component List:
EK Supremacy Universal CPU Liquid Cooling Block - Full Copper (EK-Supremacy - Full Copper)
Koolance VID-AR687 Water Block Cooling Block
Alphacool PlayStation 3 water block
Swiftech MCP35X2
Phobya Acrylic Single 5.25" Bay Reservoir w/ Level Indicator - Black (45189)
Koolance Nozzles and QD's
Phobya Bulkhead 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD (10mm x 13mm) Compression Coupler - Vintage Matte Black (65189)
Lowes 3/8" OD copper plumbing pipe
