Guys (and girls),
I need some advice please, I have a Striker II Extreme with a QX9650 and dual BFG 9800GTX's sitting in my TJ-09 case, the cpu idles at 37-39c at defaults settings and tops 70 if I try and run OCCT.
I want to WC the rig but understand the limitations on the TJ-09 for WC'ing and I have considered getting a TJ-07 but want to see if I can get away with the TJ-09 for the time being.
I have looked at the following kit but need to know if I am missing anything, should swap out for anything else etc.
---------------------------------------
Polyurethane 10mm OD - 8mm ID Black Hose
External Diameter : 10mm
Internal Diameter : 8mm
x5

5.25" Bay Reservoir

- Internal dividers to reduce bubbles and noise
x1
---------------------------------------
As you can see I am opting for compression fittings for the most part (I may have to look at the Fusion block on the S2E however I am waiting for the BP NB\SB block.
I am toying with the idea of cutting some more of the top off the case to fit the rad into it and I am considering adding a second loop in should I need to (I have been advised that with the PA120.3 I should get away with a single loop).
What are your thoughts, am I missing something blatent, could I get something better? Should I just go for the TJ-09 to save on any headaches?
Money isn't too much of an issue and it's probably not too much of a long term thing (Nehelim and X58 to come, chances are I will keep the 9800's for the moment tho).
Feedback greatly appreciated.
