ok so i'm moving over to full water(cpu, 2x gpu)

trying to find full coverage blocks that fit the 4830 & 4850 cards

using sig rig( except im doing xfire w/ a 4850&4830)

I've only got room on the inside for 3 single 120mm rads (can fit a 2x120 if its a must)

It's all mainly for looks as i don't overclock at all..


being in the mini p180 its a small case with little room to fit stuff without modding(Which im trying to aviod)


so what would be a decent cpu block for am2/am3, and gpu blocks?


I'll be going with the mcp 355 and a ek100 res top(given i can find one)
 
Here are some setups that can help you figure out how you want to setup the rad/s.

For the cards just get some universal GPU blocks, depending on the price full cover blocks might not really be worth it, but if that's what you want then go for it. A 240mm rad would be enough for all of that as I don't see those cards dumping that much heat into the rad.

DD has one for a 4850 - http://www.dangerden.com/store/dd-4850-water-block.html

This post on Tom's says a 4850 block would fit a 4830 - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/259967-33-waterblock-4830

well thanks for all that :)
yea i prefer a full cover block mainly because i want to keep the clean look(plus i dont have much room for bulky uni blocks)
trying to find some used blocks in the fs section but not really working out to well..

i don't think a 240 rad will cut it.. I'll be upgrading the cpu to a x4 or x6 soon enough(Or a am3+)
 
ok well so far i've picked up a d-tek fuzion v2, 6x yate loons(80cfm)
still trying to find a pump and rads.

Think I'll just be doing 2 thick 120 rads on push/pull setup.

anyone know how wide&long a 240 rad is? thinking i can maybe fit a rad in the bottom optical bays
 
depends on the make of the rad. i have 2 a swifteck and a thermaltake, the TT is 10 inches long and the swift is 11.
