need some suggestions

[jetjaguar]

im going to watercool my first system and just needed some suggestions on parts .. systems specs are in my sig ..

i was planning on getting

dtek fuzion with nozzles
micro res
thermochill pa120.2 or a swiftech mcr220
no idea on pump
no idea on gpu block

originally i was set on getting a thermochill rad .. but it seems they are impossible to find in the usa and some shops i spoke to said they wont be getting them anymore

all of this will be in a silverstone tj09 .. so im limited to a 120 x 2 rad .. i could add a second on outside the case with a rad box

which gpu , and pump do u guys recommend .. also i guess a rad as well

thanks in advance

just the cpu will need a pa120.2 if you're adding anything else you need the .3

[jetjaguar]

really ?

No way man. You can definitely have the CPU and GPU in the same loop with the PA120.2.

For the pump, the Liang D5 (Swiftech MCP-655) or the MCP-355 w/ aftermarket top are great choices.

MCW-60 for the GPU block, unless you absolutely must have a full-cover block.

thanks .. if a 120.2 wont be enough ill have to ditch my case for another one ..

if i cant get the 120.2 thermochill which other one would u recommend .. im using scythe s-flex fans

i know the swiftech ones are half the price of the thermochills

The MCR-220 is a good rad, but with a quad-core and a GPU, you'll be pushing it.

BTW, the PA120.2 is in stock at Sidewinders.

i have a pa120.2 and for a fact at 3.6ghz 1.45v the pa120.2 is pushing it. i hit 65 easily. i have 4 yate loons in push/pull with shroud.

but the thermochill should be able to handle it ?

[Nate P.]

Yes.

BTW, is your Q6600 a G0 or B3? It makes a big difference in regards to heat output.

[jetjaguar]

b3

with my ultra extreme .. at 3.2 it hits like 65

Hmm... just don't take the voltage too high then.

yea vcore is at like umm 1.35

[jetjaguar]

looks like im gonna have to just switch cases

[Jedda]

B3 and 8800GTX in the same loop, eh? I'd say forget a full cover gpu block with that size rad.
If you're switching cases, get into a PA120.3 or GTX for best. Swift 320 rad if econimising.

Yep, or possibly forgo the GPU altogether? Slap a nice aftermarket air cooler on the GTX and water cool just the CPU would maybe be the better route...

There is always external as an option: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=160606&page=2

The TJ09 is such a nice case to not use...

[jetjaguar]

yea i dont know what im gonna do .. maybe ill sell off the q6600 and get a g0

and maybe ill just sell the tj09 for a tj07 so down the road i can do a nice watercooled setup in it

[Nate P.]

I don't know anyone that would get a B3 when G0's (new) are going for ~$250.
