If you need that much cooling I would go 2 x 1. 2 on top and one with your current mount. Here is what 2 on top looks like.

I did look, seems like allot of opinions. I have a brand new Lian Li 1200 Plus II case. With 1 Lian Li OEM fan, 2 Medium Speed Scythe "Minebea NMB Silent IC Series" fans, and 2 Silenx fans. Subjectively Silenx fans seem to be much quieter a move more air. Like I said – pure subjective...

SilenX 120x120x25mm - 14dBA - 72CFM http://www.silenx.com/ixtremaprofans.asp?sku=ixp-74-14 I think these are the best fans available. I have 2 installed now and will be converting the rest soon.

Yes, I had to cut two holes. I did not use a Dremel, used 4.5” hole saw instead. The front intake is: http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/008/sckb1000_detail.html

Asus Commando with full H2O setup.... I'm concerned about MB @ 46 after about an hour of prime95.

I had the same problem with newegg. The EVGA 680i board was DOA. Had to eat the shipping. Went with commando after that.

Finalized. Had to go with 2 top rad holes to vent the case due to temp build up. What do you guys think?

Thanks, I think I'll go with a serial loop...

I currently have the following 3/8” loop: pump>rad>CPU>mofset>northbridge >southbridge I will be adding 8800 to the loop and trying to decide if I can run it in parallel as: pump>rad>CPU>mofset>northbridge>southbridge>res ...............>8800>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Or should I just...

Hi, No not too late. The project was stalled due to parts availability. Since, Asus’s Striker is on a perpetual back order. I have to water cool the mofsets since the Striker will be mounted in BTX fasion and Asus heat pipes tend to ever heat when mounted inverted.

I've sent you a PM regarding the Koolance radiator...

I was going to mount one in the lower drive bay and one in front of the motherboard. As best laid out plans go … Just got the case, now I’m thinking it will may not work. What do you guys think of these alternatives? Not too sure about aluminum radiators…...

Well they look kinda similar, LOL, just kidding. It was a safe bet that Asus would be using the same parts bin across their models. It took a while, but I found a thread in the Asus forum of someone using them...
