After deciding that I DID need Sub ambient cooling, but DIDDNT want water cooled Pelts, I've zeroed in on a part that will make this fantasy a reality.
The Swiftech MCW-CHILL 452.
And - Thats where things get Very Very Complicated, and i start getting lost.
For Starters: The MCW-CHILL 452 has TWO Hot side loops, EACH of them will be well in advance of 226W of heat EACH.
I was thinking about a BIXIII and a D5/655 for each hot side.
Will that even be enough? if not then what?
on the other hand - could I get away with combining the two hot loops (parelell, not series) into one? if so can i get away with just one pump, and BIXIII- or still need two of each?
Now watch closley as the plot thickens:
The cold side loop will be cooling my CPU, GFX and NB.
im thinking the DDA/350 is better for the cold side.
probably a storm WB and all that...
all the cold loop will have to be insulated, along with the other stuff that needs it too.
oh, and what sort of a case ?
I have doubts about the U2-UFO for this...
we might be talking 2 BIXIII's and maybe another rad or two if needed.
how to controll it?
lots of solenoids?
High Amp DC switches?
regular 12V switches?
Any questions that I Should have asked but diddnt?
(this is for upcoming Conroe BTW)
TIA, because im officially lost, folks...
