Ok, so I think I have my list setup for water cooling.


Im going to buy:

1 Black Ice microII
1 Black Ice micro
=937 watts or 806 Kcal per hour

1 Dangerden Maze 4
1 Swiftech gpublock
1 bayres (I got the caulk ready)
1 swiftech mcp600 pump
1/2" clearflex or tygon tubing


So, will this be some awsome cooling or what?
 
negitive on the black ice micro's... what kinda temps you planning to get?? like 50 because thoes micro's do nothing they can barely hold down a gpu cooler on their own.. i bought just a black ice xtreme thats the one that one 120 fan can fit on it.. long story short amd 3200+ 48idle 54load... i had to get another rad i bought a dule 120 blackice linked all 2 in par.. works well now im like 26 idle 29 load... sexy.. :D

just my 2 cents :D
 
according to hwlabs, a blackice mirco II plus a black ice micro I can cool better than one blackice extreme.
 
The decision on which heat exchanger to use is, of course, your own. If you want to use the units you selected, go for it.
 
I like how these places give heat dissipation figures (4874 billion watts!!!), but never tell you what the test conditions were. If you don't know the airflow, waterflow, and temperature difference between water and air - do you know anything?

The pump and blocks are good choices.
 
I think the radiators are a little pricey and also recommend the heatercore, maybe even the double heater core.

I understand if you are going for the micro's so that you can put them in your existing case, but you should definitely look twice at the heatercores.
 
Why not spend the extra $10 and get an RBX block? The RBX is the best you can buy and it doesn't cost much more.

Yes.

1. ) Cheaper

2.) Less Restriction

3.) Lower Temperatures
 
Ya man heatore is the way to go..

Although, I have a fancy 4 pass oil cooler hooked up to my PC. I don't even have to use any fans to keep it cool. But I usually do anyway.
