New H2O setup.

[nullface]

Im going to put my Brisbane under water along with my 7900GS KO.

This is what i am looking at:

HW-Labs GTS 240 Black
Swiftech Apogee GT
Swiftech MCW60-R
Laing DDC Normal PRO
Dangerden Fillport - Delrin

And this is the way i imagined it, when its inside my Silverstone TJ08 mATX case.

How does it look? Im totaly new to water cooling, so did i miss something?
I have rubber-mounting for the DDC to mount it in the 3.5" bay.
I have EK fittings, Feser One Fluid, Tygon tubing and all the small things that are nessesary.

But overall how does it look?

Run your T off the line going into the pump...shorter and is best to put infront of pump

You can seriuosly shorten your loop if you mount that DDC on a bracket above or below the gfx card and put the rad fittings in the rear of the case. That is depending on what other cards you have in the system. here's a pic of a bracket I fab'd and had my DDC between 2 8800's (and even had a sound card in there as well)

Listen man, drop the GTS crap, it is a total ripoff and is restrictive, then drop the feser one crap, and use regular water.

I'm using the GTS becourse of the slim design, its a mATX case and there is not much space, there is no way the pump can fit under the GFX and above the radi., and if it does it will get VERY tight.

Yea distilled water is the only thing to run with some coloring if you want.

[JeffnWV]

what about the slot above the card? nothing there in the way. just suggestions for ideas outside the box :)

[nullface]

The GFX is in the highest slot.
ander under it there is like 6-7cm free space. Now, 2.5cm for fans and 3cm high radi + spacer 0.5-1cm = 6cm witsh means there is no space for a pump.

[JeffnWV]

oki
mount on the mobo tray??
just trying to shorten the loop (= better performance)

bring out dremel and jigsaw.....

bring out dremel and jigsaw.....

I might have to :lsfight: becourse, i have 8-8.5cm space under the 7900GS

Black Ice GTS 240 - 3.0cm + Fan 2.5cm + GPU-blok 3.5cm = 9cm

+ Spacer between case and radi., so i might think off something else or find some slim fans.

[nullface]

So i had to make a compromise to make it all fit.
The radi. will only be equipped with 1 fan in the front of the case.
But then ill use a bigger radi. to gain some of the lost C.

So here i am, looking at ThermoChill PA120.2 and HW-Labs GTX 240, what shall i go for?

is GTS slimmer than a BIP hum...

can someone post a link to a good multi-rad round-up

one that includes bip, gts, etc...


the build looks fine to me overall

Can you squeeze a PA120 / PA160 in the front ?
