I have the following sig and would like to make it water cooled when the 7950GX2 block come out.

What should I built it with

Pump -
CPU Water Block-
Video Cards- Dangerden 7950GX2
Chip Set - (Note that the mother board is Asus A8N32-SLI)
Tubing - 1/2
Reservoir-

What else do I need to just cool the CPU and Video Cards and do i want to cool the Chip set due to how the mother board is setup


SIG spec
Asus A8N32-SLI mother board
2 gig's of OCZ
AMD X2 4400 CPU
1x 74 gig WD Raptor
2x 200 WD
1 x EVGA 7950GX2
1 x BFG 7950GX2
Slivestone 750W powersupply
Lian V1200 plus II case black
 
You'll need a radiator as well. It might not be terribly hard to fit a 2x120 or a 3x120 in the case you have if do a little cutting.

As far as CPU block goes, the Swiftech Apogee is a pretty popular choice. Which chipset block you get might depend on where the northbridge is on the motherboard so make sure that you look into that. For your pump you may also want to consider how you're going to fit things into your case, but the swiftech MCP650 and MCP350 are popular choices. Note that those two pumps are also sold by DangerDen under the names D5 and DDC respectively. Which resevoir you get will also depend on how you plan to arrange your loop, as resevoirs come in many shapes and sizes. There are resevoirs that fit in 5.25" bays, 3.5" bays, and then there are smaller resevoirs like the Swiftech MCRES-Micro, and then there are cylindrical resevoirs like the one from DangerDen, or you may decide to forget about the resevoir entirely and get a T-line.

If I were you, I'd probably get the Apogee block, MCP650 pump (because it's cheaper than the DD D5, for some reason), MCRES-Micro res, and a Black Ice GT 360 radiator and mount the radiator at the top of your case. As far as chipset blocks go, I have no idea :eek:.
