Looking at watercooling my processor, chip, and graphics, I was looking at the DD stuff and have read several reviews on it, and it looks like it will meet my needs. I currently have an Antec SLK3700BQE case (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-140&depa=1).
I was looking at all the pics and noticed there isn't really a prominant placement for the radiator. I was looking at the black ice extreme II for a radiator, where would be the best place to mount it. I have about 11inches free on the top, so w/ hoses/barbs the extreme II might be just slightly too big. My case has 2 120mm fans, one in the front and one in the rear, there is currently no fan in the front. Should i just go with a normal black ice extreme and mount it at the front? Should i go with a black ice micro (extreme II if it will fit) and mount it on the top (doesn't seem like a particularly good place thermally, but I've seen alot of people with them at the top so i dunno). Or would i be best off moving the 120 fan up front and have it bring air to a normal black ice extreme in athe back? Or the last config, get an ice extreme II and just lay it on the floor of the case, that seems fairly common. Which would i notice the best temps?
Thanks for your time
