I am going to begin working on my HTPC soon, but I want to cut down on noise as much as possible, so I'm looking at watercooling for the CPU and the gfx card. I'm going to be using a Gigabit LGA 775 board, a Core 2 Duo E4600 CPU, and a 8800GTS OC. I'm hoping that I can run all of this with one 2x120mm rad, and one pump, however, I have never touched watercooling before, so I wouldn't really know. Also, do I really need a reservoir? I was looking at the following parts- GFX waterblock- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5...oling_Block_DD_-_8800_GTS.html?tl=g30c311s799 Rad- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/4...40_X-Flow_Radiator_-_Black.html?tl=g30c95s160 CPU waterblock- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/7...ater_Block_-_AMD_and_Intel.html?tl=g30c85s141 Pump- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6...38_Conversion_Kit_317_GPH.html?tl=g30c107s155 Res- dunno really tubing- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/7...2_OD_with_116_Wall_-_Black.html?tl=g30c99s172 1/2 in fittings- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5...m_ID_G14_Threaded_Nozzles_Pair_NZL-V13KG.html anything I'm missing? anything I should change? help me?
The GPU and CPU waterblocks, pump, and tubing looking fine. I'd probably got with a different radiator, both the swiftech mcr-220 or thermochill 240 will offer better performance with low speed fans. I'd probably include a res for easy bleeding, the swiftech microres is excellent, but you can get away with a T line if that works better with your layout. The fittings you currently have linked to are for 1/2" ID tubing while you have 3/8" ID tubing selected. I'd probably consider looking around at some other watercooling shops for some better prices as well. Petras-Tech Shop, Sidewindercomputers (has a gts block for $100), and Performace-pcs are a couple places to look at.
thanks, didn't realize that I had mixed up the sizes. I may just go with a T line running up to the top of the case with a fill port. I will be looking around for better pricing, I just pulled a random site out of my head to do that part list
