reccomendations for gpu water setup in lian-li v2100b

[Waffles]

what is the best stuff for that case? im gonna be putting phase on the cpu, so i wanna w/c the vid card and possibly chipset/other things if it's reccomended. also, i want a quiet pc ;)
so what rad pump block etc would YOU use in this case?

[racinjimy]

with a prommie in the bottom, the next best place to mount a rad is the top (for a triple, dual or single) or in the front after taking out one of the hard drive racks for a single rad...................

you probably don't need any more than a dual rad (if that) since all you will be cooling is a GPU and possible chipset

check out frozencpu (http://www.frozencpu.com/cas-307.html?id=HYdy8jAt) for other ideas like the mid mount rad

i dont wanna mod.. oh heavens no. i have no tools and im too poor (after the upgrade) to buy some :D

In that case. mount a Swiftech MCR120 on the rear 120mm fan, use a laing ddc or csp mag pump (ddc will perform a tad better but with more heat). For blocks, your choice, but I'd suggest a maze 4. And 7/16" tygon for great performance and useability. T-line it as well.

With this setup you'll be able to get the best 120mm radiator on the market that will fit in that case unmodified. You'll get very decent cooling performance if cooling a gpu and a chipset, however I wouldn't add anymore than that to the loop.

If you dont plan to mod, you are severly limited...

[Waffles]

i like enjoy's suggestion, but if modding will greatly increase performance, i could get it done.. what do you suggest maxxx?

Pepends on how much mess you can tollerate.

If you want it all inside the case then some cutting and stuff will be needed.

But you can get a good performing system without having to cut your case up.

I'm currently in the same boat as you Waffles.

I've got a v2000b (same model, without the door), and I'm trying to figure out how to get good WC performance without cutting the case. Right now, I have a single 120mm rad in the front where the fan mounts. I removed one of the hard drive brackets, leaving two. I got a great deal on a BIP III and I'm trying to figure out how to mount it. Cutting the case will be a last resort for me cause I'd hate to cut such an awesome case. I'm thinking that I'll get a side panel, and have that cut so that the rad sits sideways. That might work for you too. Just a thought. Good luck! :D

u can have everything outside the case? Or if you don't care much for performane u can get the kingwin aquastar. I don't recomend getting the kingwin but is an alternative if you don't want to mod your case.

[Waffles]

the hard drive area will be occupied by a single stage, so i think i'll just use a bix, d5, maze 4 gpu/chipset blocks, tygon i assume?

[J-Mag]

I have a v2100 and for a while I had my dual 120mm rad mounted to the back of the case where the 120mm exhaust fan is except on the other side. You might even be able to mount a triple 120mm back there (although the 3rd peice will be over the hot air coming out the psu). I mounted fans over the rad, so essentially everything was on the outside of the case. You will obviously have to remove the 120mm baffle.

At the time I was only cooling two 6800GT's with my fans at 5v. I was gettin low 50's under load.
