| This mod will be my first mod; I'm planning to add water-cooling to my existing setup and modding my pre-modded case. My current setup is: Sunbeam Transformer (Full Tower) 939 AMD 64 3700+ (Diego) OC’d to 2609-2616 MHz ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 2 x XFX GeForce 7800GTX 256 Noisetaker 580W PSU Creative X-Fi Fata1ity 7.1 What I plan to add to this setup will be: (all with ½”OD barbs) Danger Den NV-78SLI Waterblock Maze 4 Athlon 64 Waterblock 1 or 2 Black Ice GTS 360 Stealth or X-Flow Models Danger Den D-5 12V Pump And lastly a custom reservoir that I want to build into the side door, without actually measuring the size of it I would guesstimate 15-20”long by 12-17”high by 1-3”wide. The actual design of this will be the hardest part due to the door swinging out, the drive cages, and the tubes going to the reservoir. I’ll most likely do this with 1/8” Plexiglas with the possibility of having a ¼” outer wall. I’m not sure if anyone has ever attempted this before, but I like the idea of having a transparent reservoir/window filled with UV active dyed water glowing and then add in a couple of bubble generators at the bottom of the reservoir and you have a pretty cool view to the inside of the case. Another thing that I need advice with is do I need more than 1 radiator for those 3 waterblocks, should I go with X-Flow or standard model radiators? I plan on cutting a space for one radiator in the bottom of the case with air blowing down, and possibly another radiator on the top of the case blowing up with the front and rear fans acting as intake for the system. Normally I would imagine that having a radiator at the top of the case would be bad but if you have water-cooling little heat should vent into the case interior (with the exception of the PSU and north bridge) so excess heat should not be too much of a concern. Let me know what you all think of the idea, critique and suggestions are welcome. *Edit Added Detailed Descriptions to CPU + Video Card | ||
