Money no issue, post the components of your dream WC-only (no TEC coolers) setup. Emphasis can be on either looks or performance.
 
All aquacomputer stuff..... aquatube, XT cpu block, aquero, aquastream.... everything at sharkas :)
 
What I have now, except an MCP655, which I will have as soon as it ships out.

Maybe a PA120.2...
 
storm g7 cpu
aquaxtreme mp-1 gpu
dual liang ddc ultra w/ modded top
thermochill PA120.3

That's pretty much what I have now, except I have a swiftech storm and only 1 pump.
 
Dual Storm for a Dual Opteron setup on a Tyan board...

Two loops, one for the GPUs and 1 for the CPUs. Both GPU's would be SLI'd.

One loop with Red and the other with Blue UV dye.

Two top mounted reservoirs in the 120mm blowhole. A single 120mm Rad for the cpu's and a dual rad for the GPU's...

Inline Temp sensors, flow meter, and a maze 4 copper block between my CPU's, with a 60w peltier attached to it Cooling the loop.

My GPU loop would also encorporate some nice Ram coolers and a NB waterblock.

That'd do it... I think
 
Iwaki RD-30 pump....Cathar's G7 Waterblock....Thermochill PA 120.3 radiator....maze4 gpu blocks....
 
Cuplex XT, Twinplex XT, mosfet coolers, EK block for the gpu, aquaero, two aqua stream, plexitube, alphacool twin laing ddc, all in 8x10 Plug and cool and compression.

QFT cept if i had infinite funds i would probably go with some EK full cover water blocks for gpu in crossfire.
 
PS: Where can you buy a Storm G7?

The guy that makes them broke a few bones on a motorcycle and the project got delayed. IIRC there is only one in existence.

Always thought those full coverage blocks were gimmiks. From reviews and personal experience I found maze4 style GPU coolers + ramsinks to perform better.

Cathar, the guy that designed the original storm designed the G7, but yea he was in an accident and the G7 is on hold. Also, if it ever is made itll prob be like $300 due to it being silver and made with almost aerospace grade machinery.

I wouldnt normally suggest full cover because they are more expensive and you cant transfer them to other cards and you dont really need to water cool the ram, but the x1900 EK blocks can also cool the VRM, which is nice, and they are just plain purty compared to maze 4's with tubing running all over.

my current setup just for reference:
swiftech storm rev 1
(soon to be) x1900 in crossfire, 2 maze 4's with ramsinks
external rad box with 2 1/2' modded 18w ddcs in series
3 mcr 220's with yate loons on a fan controller

The 3 mcr's are overkill but i can keep the fans lower with high loads and still keep low temps.
 
My dream WC setup would be one that held temps at sub-ambiant under load and was completely silent.
 
Well, here's what I'm hoping to get:

Silverprop EvolutionSE (or whatever it was called) CPU block
AquaXtreme MP-1
Laing D5
Thermochill PA160
Silverprop Chipset block
Swiftech MCRES-MICRO

with a nice and quiet Papst fan, MCT-5, clamps, and some Masterkleer tubing

So besides the G7, what's the best CPU block?
Click to expand...

If your cpu doesn't have an IHS, swiftech storm would be the best. If you do, it's a toss up between swiftech storm and aquaxtreme mp-05 sp. This is assuming you have a good pump.

QFT.

ok i guess i would want an AC setup with maybe 3/8" tubing, but with eddy EK full cover blocks on my gfx cards and a PA 120.3 for my rad. i would cool chipset, cpu, gfx x2. would have to be all internal.

otherwise i spose i would want simply a very nice neat dual loop setup that cools every part.
 
My dream setup is pretty much what i have now.

Storm CPU block
maze 4 gpu
DDC Ultra
120.3 BIP
MicroRes
1/4" ID 3/8" OD Tygon tubing with compression fittings.

All stuffed INSIDE a Lian Li PC-V600 case.

It is a work in progress ATM, graphic card seems dead. using onboard. CPU idle temp at 28c according to my biostar tforce mobo. 3400+ venice(754).
 
Technically this is oil cooled, but it is my dream liquid cooling setup...

I think I'd internalize the oil pump and connect it to a radiator in that empty spot by the 25cm fan (which runs @ 32.1 dB).
I'd also put rubber pads on the HDD mount to dampen vibrations.
 
Any con's to these cubes besides the enormous size? :p

I have a X-Fi platinum and it has a cable that connects the front 5.25 panel to the PCI card at the back... how would that work if the cube seperates the two compartments?
