Okay so I'm building a new WC system, and I just want to get the opinions of your guys. Here's the lowdown:
CPU - DangerDen Copper TDX (cooling a 4400+)
GPU - DangerDen Koosah (cooling a 7900GT)
Chipset - DangerDen Asus A8N Maze4 (cooling A8N-SLI Deluxe)
Radiator - HWLabs Stealth GT 360 (maybe the X-Flow if it fits)
Pump - Alphacool Laing DCC-pump 12V ultra

Fans will be Yate Loons and I don't know if I should go T-line or res. Both the cpu and gpu are OC'ed, if that makes a difference (and hence the reason I'm thinking of going with the Koosah).

Secondly, I saw tha Alphacool has a "mosfet" cooler for the A8N line of motherboards: here. Is this even necessary. Since I'm WC-ing, there won't be much airflow. I have a 120 intake blowing across the hdds, and 120x3 for the rad going exhaust (for some negative pressure action). Right now there's a heatsink on those voltage regulators, but since I am OC'ing the system, would it be wise, or is this just a gimmick?

Finally, where can I buy this stuff. I was thinking straight from DangerDen, since they offer a 1yr warrenty on their parts, but they don't have the pump. Does anyone know where I can get the pump with a warrenty? Or, if anyone has any good websites to buy WC'ing stuff with a discount (read: cheapter than DangerDen), that works too. I'm in the Los Angeles area if anyone knows of some stores out here that sell stuff, as to avoid shipping costs.

Thanks guys, I know it's a lotta stuff to read, but I really appreciate it.
 
You'd be fine with a maze4 with some ramsinks for your GPU :). Other than that it looks pretty good.

You can get the pump at performance-pcs. They're in Florida, so shipping isn't amazing for you. Alternatively, you could order a DDC from DangerDen (it's the same 18W version), and just get the top from performance-pcs. (Performance-pcs ships the alphacool pump with the top unattached anyways.)

That way you've still got the dangerden warranty and price, and the top you want. It's the identical pump. Just be sure to replace the factory top if you need to return it. I hope they don't put a sticker across the joint... :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the reply guys. I think I'm going to buy the blocks and rad from DangerDen and just get the pump from performance-pcs. That seems like a pretty good way to go.

Aside from that, does anyone know anything about cooling the voltage converters on the mobo? Would this help overclocking?
 
Also I know this has been posted a billion times but use the DD coupon code of PAGLAN06 for 20% off which is a pretty good deal.:)

Wow, thanks! It may have been posted a billion times, but I don't frequent these forums as much as I used to. Thanks a lot.
