how will this w/c setup perform on e6600?

[Dutt1113]

How will this water cooling setup perform? I'm gonna do water cooling on an e6600 in my TJ09 case and I'm gonna get the following parts:

My e6600 is at 3.4ghz @ 1.39375v. I'm currently using a Zalman 9500 and get 42 C Idle/70 C load (orthos on both cores)

D-Tek FuZion cpu water block
AquaXtreme 50z pump
2x BIP 120.1 rads
2x Yate Loon fans 47 cfm/28dba i think (should i go higher cfm and/or 4 fans instead of 2?)
Tanky Bay reservoir clear
Coolant? (what do you think?)

Looks pretty good.

Having 4 fans really REALLY reduces your noise level... You can run the at 7v and they're practically silent.

Coolant, get some Pentosin from petras tech shop.

Whatever you do, buy an EXTRA yate loon. 3.50$ is great insurance getting a noisy fan. About 10% of those fans are noisy as hell, the other 90% are the best fans I've ever used.

EDIT: In before "Use a single double radiator, blah blah" :d

I know what some people are think. Why doesn't he go with a double 120 rad instead of 2 single 120's? The answer is that I would have except there is a gap between the fans up top and I can't get a double 120 rad to fit without modification. I know i could get it to work I just don't want to go through the hassle of figuring out a way to mount a double up there. Instead I went with 2 single 120 rads knowing it will be a slight more restrictive, but pretty much the same performance of a double 120 rad. That's why I went with a better stronger pump, so i could get away with such a thing.

Another thing, if I put 4 fans on the 2 rads instead of 2, how do I run them at 7v so they are quieter yet getting me better air flow/peformance from the rads?

just google "7v fan mod" there are lots of great tutorials to do that.

Alternitively you can solder a 68ohm 1/2w resistor on the yellow 12v line.

Or, you can buy a fan controller for a great amount of control.

Will this setup cool a heck of a lot better than my Zalman 9500?

Well, my overclock in sig (3500) gets me a full load temp of about 55c.

Your block should perform about 3-6c better than my TDX too, so I'd expect about a 20c drop if mounted correctly.

Thats nice to hear. When you say 20c drop, do you mean the load or the idle? If thats the load drop, what do you guestimate my idle to drop by?

That's a 20c load drop. I'd imagine you'd load in the low 50s.

Idles... Maybe 3-4 degrees. These chips dont really idle that low, especially if your room is warm.

I idle at about 39c
