First post on Xtream Forums (been over at anandtech a while though), and it's about WC.

I'm new to WC, but have always been good with computers. Hows this setup:
CPU Block, Storm (except the Rev. 2) (http://www.shoppts.com/swstexpeunwa.html)
GPU Block, Silverprop Cyclone FusionHL (http://www.shoppts.com/sicyfu.html) x2 (for SLIed 7800GT's
BIP3 Rad (http://www.petrastechshop.com/dadenblicepr2.html)
Pump, MCP655 (http://www.shoppts.com/swmcin12pu.html)
1/2in. Tubing (http://www.shoppts.com/1id3odtyr.html)

Those would just be core components. I would of corse get an addative for the water, and a reservoir and some hose clamps.
Now a couple of questions:
-Will the BIP3 be enough to cool what I have (Opteron 170, Dual 7800GT's) both overclocked
-Will 50cfm on the rad be enough?

Thanks

bip3 should be adequate for that, and around 50cfm will be great on it

Another quick question, these fans (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ak12amseulqu.html), I already have 4 of them (I got a lot of extra fans :cool:), will those be alright? (to avoid getting new ones?)

I also have 3 Yate loon's, 1 crappy TT fan, 2 slower TT fans, 1 panaflow fan, etc.

It's just easier to use what I have already. So will the Akasa fans be alright?

And just found 3 A.C. Ryan's with 77cfm/28dba. Seems better than the Yates to me.

First I would like to say welcome to XS. I think you will find ppl here very friendly & helpful.:toast:

Yes, certianly enough...

[QUOTE=wizboy11]Will 50cfm on the rad be enough?

I think that depends on how quiet you like you rig to be. Some ppl are happy pushing/pulling more cfms while others are content with less.

Those AC Ryans are almost certainly worse.

Mainly because everyone but sanyo and yate lie about the specs of their fans.
