[scarface_what]

k im buying the following and there will be this rig inside

x2 4400 / 3800 not sure which ill use ill see oc results first should have same temps neways
dfi nf4 ultra-d
74gb raptor - will get a 2nd shortly
ocz powerstream 520w
sapphire x800gto'
2gb platinum eb

dvd rom- dvd burner - floppy

this is the case I plan to purchase... and the water cooling im thinking of getting

lian-li pc65(plus)
-black ice micro(80mm)
-ddc-12v rev2 "plus"
-low profile acetal maze4
-switchtech storm/mc6002-64
-silenx ixtreame x4
-Danger Den Dual 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir
-15' tygon
-invisible blue dye
-mct-5

yeah so id have 2x 80mm front intake and a 80mm overhead exhaust and the radiator would be on the back with a 80mm on it maybe 2?

idea is to use the ixtrame to have a dead silent pc

oh yeah im basically wondering if the cooling would be sufficant

the cpu will be oced to 2.5- 2.7

and the video card will remain at stock

should have posted in the watercooling section.

anyways. I wouldn't recommend running a single 80mm radiator, especially if you want decent temps with low noise. With a cpu and video combo like that, you will need at least a BIP2 or BIX2. With 2 120mm fans you could undervolt them and get it really quiet.

the 1x80mm Rad will be pretty marginal unless you want delta's to be 15-20c

a nice 1x160mm rad like the PA160 would be a big step up, but your fannage would be very limited

if you really want a quiet cooling pc with a lot of capacity the best choice is a 3x120mm low airflow rad like the BIP3 or PA120.3 and some fans that meet your needs i.e. yate loons.

ah i guess im gonna get a diff case then currently using a antec superlan boy but i want watercooling ;s

you could always mount the rad outside the case like switech does

and mount either a big PA160+shroud+120mm fan to it or a 2x120 fan

or if you are more enterprising you could mount it to the top outside or something along those lines
