After considering it several times in the past, Ive finally committed myself to setting up a WC system. What Im looking for is feedback on my selection of parts and verification that I havent overlooked anything.
---Components to be cooled---
C2Q Q6600
X38 NB on Asus Maximus Formula
4870X2
---WC parts shopping list---
Swiftech MCP-655 Pump
Thermochill Pa 120.3 Rad
D-Tek Fuzion v2 CPU Block
DD 4870X2 Full Cover GPU Block
Swiftech MCW-30 Chipset Block
Additionally Im going to be getting a Silverstone Temjin TJ07B-W case because my NZXT Lexa is pretty cramped as it is and the Temjin is on sale at NCIX right now
I think I may be cutting it close with just the 120.3. Should I add another rad to the loop? What about a quad 120? I understand they can be made to fit in this case with minor modding.
What difference does the size of the reservoir make? I will likely get one of the EK ones but I havent seen anyone mention the size making any difference.
Lastly, the Maximus Formula has a NB/SB/MOSFET heatpipe cooler assembly like a lot of boards, so when I remove that and stick a block on the NB, am I going to need new sinks for the SB and mosfets or is the some way of only removing the NB portion of the stock cooler?
