View Full Version : How is this loop?

I just got a p182 and wanted to try to keep the case stock without modifications. Here is the loop plan so far,
pump->BIP 120.1->apogee GTX->PWM block->nb block->BIP120.1->GPU->pump
Will the BIP's be able to handle an oc'ed E6600(max Volt 1.5V) and an 8800GTS.

You will need a pretty good pump to get through those blocks and multiple radiators. I would rethink the L35.

Planning on a new pump as well, but would the BIP 120.1 X2 handle the heatload as well as the heatercore I'm using right now.

A couple BIP I rads should be able to handle that heatload just fine.

I really don't think, in fact I know they won't handle the heat dump from an 8800 and a Conroe, even at stock without some serious CFM/noise and that's without NB and PWM. I also wouldn't use a GTX in such a restrictive loop, go with a Fuzion. I don't think you want to know what I Really think, ditch the case or go external.

Well I may go external... I just bought the case and don't want to ditch it already. Maybe I can use a radbox and mount a larger rad on top of the case without drilling any new holes etc.
Imo, if you don't do it right, don't do it at all.
You'll at least want a BIP2, forget the double BIP1's.
And replace that pump, get a D5.

Hmm hows about this then?
120.3 Rad, and I'm not sure if I should get the D5 or 355. The 355 seems to have better performance and is smaller.
-edit will 3 BIX.1's be able to handle it all??
