Hi just a quick question on 1366 backplate.
I currently have a xig dark knight, and i just bought a heatkiller 3.0 (1366) but the backplate is not included. Question is: is it possible to use my xig DK bracket for this Heatkiller block??
Thank You all !!
so what should i do bout the rad?? i dont think its possible to mount the rad on front. just to let u know if i mount rad on top (upside down) i'll have 2x120mm 96cfm fans doing push pull, sucking outside air into the case. also another 96 cfm (intake fan) on the bottom.
is any xspc or...
Hi all,
I am still mixed up on some parts that i'm gonna be buying.
Here's my system:
-CM Cosmos S
-Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
-i7 920
-GTX 275 SLI
-ABZ tagan 1100watt PSU
-6G GSkill DDR3 @ 1600
Ok, i have a budget of $450 for this setup.
Here's what i have in mind:
-Heatkiller...
cosmos s w/ clear side panel is poor in air circulation. i added 2 more 120mm fans just for intake (i have the same case n sidepanel). If u want, u can mount the rad on the front sucking fresh air into radiator n into case. then have 3 exhaust fan on top. also use that one 120mm on the bottom...
Dude i have the exact same case w/ CM clear side panel as well. The only difference is I have Asus Rampage 2 Extrme n 6Gigs of crappy GSkill ram @ 1600. Also, in a few weeks im gonna start buying all the parts. Same parts as urs, the rad, CPU block, tygon tubing (clear), swiftech pump n...
know what..I'll just get Swiftech h20-220 apex ultima. Cause i think it'll be my first one, so i cant really go all out. i have a lot to learn n experience it on first hand. Scratch the h20 cards !! too much work.
Thanks
that's what im plannning to do. I might as well get a bad ass rad like the feser. And as soon as EVGA drops the price for their gtx 295 h2o's. Then i'll just have to put em all in one loop. That would be my plan.
for tubing, i might just get 1/2"ID (uv reactive) n i'll just use distilled...

is that good enough for my i7? i will buy 1366 backplate for this.
it's the only one that available.
thanks all !, i was googling for heatkiller 3.0 for my i7 but ekuest is right. Theyre hard to find, but i will pre-order it. so if i get that swiftech pump, reservoir, 2x120mm rad will be enough to cool my cpu??
as far as tubing, 1/2" ID is bigger than 3/8" rite?? so more water flows, the...
My current air-cooled specs:
- Asus Rampage 2 Extreme Mobo

- GSkill 6Gigs DDR3 (1600MHz)
- 2x EVGA GTX 275 in SLI
-1100 Watt ABS Tagan PSU

I feel like my setup needs to go further than 3.8GHz on air. I paid...
