Hi [H] readers,
I am a long time forum lurker first time poster. I recently got the bug / funds to start upgrading my rig again and I wanted to go with a water cooling setup before I do anything else. Just wanted to run what I ordered today by you H20 cooling wizards out there to see if I need to make any changes with my supplier before it gets shipped. I appreciate any input offered. This is my first foray into water cooling a pc.
First off, my system as it stands right now:
x58 EVGA LE Mobo (Replaced by a Z68 Mobo when more are available)
Intel 920 @ 3.8ghz (Replaced by a socket 2011 cpu soon)
Corsair Dominator DDR 3 (6gb)
Radeon 5970 HD (Will be replaced by the next gen of cards after ati 6 and nvidia 5 series)
SIlverstone 1000w PSU
Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 Case (I plan on making this an Obsidian 800D very soon)
At any rate, I figured the Water Cooling setup would be one of the few things that would go into my next system so I went ahead and ordered it today.
This is what I ordered:
XSPC EX360 Triple 120mm Radiator
Swiftech MCP655-B 12v DC Watercooling Pump w/Tach Sensor
XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25in. Reservoir for Two Laing DDC's
Tygon R3400 1/2in. ID 3/4in. OD Laboratory Tubing # AAE00038
Bitspower G 1/4 Matte Black 1/2in. ID Barb - BP-MBWP-C01
Swiftech Apogee HD CPU Waterblock - Black
All for the low low price of 294.
I'm thinking of swapping out the Apogee for a Raystorm if the order hasn't been shipped yet. Other than that, did I make good choices? Eventually I will be including a second loop for my video cards, but for now it will just be the cpu that gets cooling.
Thanks in advance for your help!
