I´m planning to get back to water again from my Noctua cooler. I´ve been surfing around a bit and found some parts that i think will be good för my cpu I7 920 D0.

* Cpu-block: Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme Rev2
http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=113_38&products_id=1490

* Radiator: Alphacool NexXxos Pro 3x120 ( An old that i can use rather then buy a new one. ( Not sure tho if it´s Rev2 but should be pretty the same )

* Pump: Laing DDC 18w Pump / Swiftech MCP355

* Res: XSPC Laing DDC Top with Reservoir
http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=40_102&products_id=515

Going to try some Bitspower Compressions along with 7/16" ID 5/8" tube ( probably white color if i can find it in stock somewhere ).

For the radiator i have to mount it to the back of my LL PC-K62.
Any suggestions ?

why Alphacool NexXxos Pro? Termochill is better

If you'r eplanning on expanding that loop, the 355 is perfect, but it is a bit more noisy than the 350. The 350 will be sifficient for the loop you are proposing, and you won't see a temp difference imho.

Yes i got the radiator already from earlier build so i can use it for now, might upgrade to TC later, i know they are better. But i want to save some bucks. Hmm fans i´m not really sure maybe some noctua fans or scythe. I dont want to have to much sound.

Never heard of them but will check them up :) Thanks.
About tubing any big difference between 7/16" or 3/8" in temps ?

No, tubing size really doesn't affect temps.

+1 on the Gentle Typhoons. I love my 1850s. They aren't silent, but the are quiet.
