Work log Project TJ07

[ladderman]

I thought is was about time to start my work log.

This is my first attempt at watercooling, so please feel free to voice any concerns or opinions you have about how my build progresses.

My plan is to have two loops, one for the GPUs, and the other for the CPU and NB. I’m unsure whether to include to also include the SB with the CPU as well.

One of the reasons I was against adding the SB was because of what I’ve read about flow restriction.

I plan the watercool the OCZ Flex later, and I thought I might include the SB with that loop.

The reason I plan to watercool the ram later is because I want to get the first two loops running, also I need to find away to incorporate a third loop. I will have to use ¼ ID tubing on the Flex ram because of the size of the barbs.


Maybe I should have bought a Mountain Mods case instead of the TJ07 ha ha.

Loop one will go: RES > D5 > PA120.3 > GPU > GPU > RES

Loop two will go: RES > D5 > B I P > CPU > NB > RES

I plan to have the PA120.3 and the two D5 pumps down in the base with the PSU.

The Black Ice Pro II mounted up were the top case fans are.
