Howdy!
I am planning on upgrading to a 8800gtx from my 1900xtx and since I am going to be doing this I plan to redo my WC setup as well. Please comment and make any suggestions that you think will improve performance.
1) I currently have a Storm Rev 2 and MCW60 block hooked up to a Swiftech D5 pump and MCR220 with 4 YL doing push/pull. Idle temps are around 28-29C and full load goes to 38C.
2) Do I need to add another Rad or pump or both since I am now going to be replacing the ATI with the 8800gtx. Or are the temps more or less gonna remain the same with the new setup as well. Do you guys think maybe adding another rad with my current D5 pump is a good idea or not?
3) I am gonna replace the plastic barbs on the storm and the MCW60 with metal barbs - Danger Den High-Flow Fitting (G 1/4" Thread, 1/2" OD). I am assuming this is what I need????
4) Also need to get some metal barbs for the MCR220. Please recommend barbs for these and if possible a place that actually has them in stock! Thanks.
5) Thinking of getting an EK 150 Multi-option reservoir. Has anybody installed one of these in a CM Stacker. If so whats the best place to install one of this? I have been using a t-line with a fillport so far but the dman bleeding time with the t-line is just too frustrating. I am planning to hook up the fillport to the reservoir.
I appreciate all the input! Plan to order from PTS in the next couple of hours or so. Thanks!
