Opinion on setup and question

[speedster_1]

Here is the setup I'm currently looking at:

Danger Den Dual 3 1/2" Floppy Bay Reservoir: $24.95 https://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=54

Copper TDX Block for AMD Motherboard Socket Tabs: $63.85 https://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=18

Danger Den CSP-MAG 12 Volt Pump: $49.99 https://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=178

ClearFlex 60 Tubing 1/2" ID 3/4" OD: 5ft. @ $6.25 https://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=61

MCT-5 Non-Conductive Solution: Free https://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=144

Weapon Radiator and Shroud: $65.00 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=846570&highlight=shroud

Evercool Aluminum 120mm Fan: 2x $23.90 https://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=124

How dose this setup look, I'm looking to stay within a $250 price range for this setup.

And for a question, is possible to put the radiator 1 or 2 feet away from my case without sacrificing proformance as it dosen't have suffencent room for it to be mounted inside or outside of my case with a bit of modification.

Thanks

save some money and get a better pump.^^

Other than that, great setup. I'm sure it will be fine to put your rad far away. It will just require a little more tubing, so cooling will be slightly weaker. Just try to minimize tubing in the other parts and you'll be ok.

would get more hose if you are going to mount the rad "off the box".

the 1/2 id tubing will make that possible, I doubt you would ever notice it.

I too would have some (but not a lot) concern about the pump, as there is no P/Q curve for it that I can find easily to show how well it deals with resistance in the loop. The good news is that you can get a dual mount and run two of them and they are small. Here is the people that make it, http://www.c-systems.ca/

Doh the review has all the tech data you will need as well as good general info on pump design considerations.

Nice little pump and two of them give huge flexability in "playing". Might have to get me a couple.

I've noticed these Csystems pumps too and even the reviews of the discontinued 750 looked pretty good, and that small size is really nice. Finish looks good too.

I will get that combo instead, its a good deal. How loud is the D5 pump?

Not loud at all so I've heard.

I wish I could find more info. on the use of dual-pumps in various configurations vs. other single pumps....for example, 2 CSs in parallel, 2 CSs in series, 2 CSs in semi-separate loops, all compared to like the D5 and DDC...
