As you can tell, I'm a first time poster, have lurked forever but finally found a need to post. I know there have been a ton of threads about what I'm about to post about, but I felt I need some specific help regarding my setup.
I have an EpoX 8RDA3+ with an Athlon 2500+ @ 3000+ speeds using an SLK-800A and Panaflo 80mm fan. I also have 4 80mm case fans which are just droning constantly and I am feeling the urge to move to watercooling for the noise reduction.
So, what do you think of this setup?
I'm mainly going for Danger Den since I have seen many posts about their products.
Danger Den Maze 4 for the CPU, lucite top
What are the advantages of the RBX?
Z-chipset waterblock
Maze 4 GPU block
-I have heard the Maze 3 is a better performer but haven't scrounged up any links on the matter specifically.
Edit: I would be mounting this on a 9700 Pro which is clocked @ 380/340 currently.
Radiator: ??
I am unsure of which radiator to get, I would like to keep my 2500+ running @ 2.2, which radiator would be sufficient for that and my two other blocks?
Tubing: 1/2" Just the clear flex, not exactly sure what the advantages of Tygon are, but...
Reservoir: I'd like to put the reservoir in a floppy bay since I have no use for that space in my case anyway (no floppy drive).
Pump: I'm unsure of how much pumping power I need for the amount of blocks and size tubing I'll be using. I do know Eheim is the pump of choice, but there is some new competition (can't remember the company name) which people are using now. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Like I said, I'm a complete water cooling dunce, so please don't flame me too badly for only looking at the Danger Den products, I've read good only good things about their them. I have read the links sticky, but need some guidance as to what to look for! Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
