Water cooling Qs

[Fox]

copy and pasted.. so might sound strange, same deal tho.


Ok, im buying some water cooling for my comp and have a few questions as i am unfamiliar with this sort of thing.

Now, im going to be running a cpu block, a north bridge block, a gpu block, and a rad, pump and resevoir.

What order would this be in to optimize cooling? Does anyone know of a good pump i could use? Im trying to use all danger den blocks, since vibe has them, and has them on sale. Z chipset block, and whenever they get them a RBX cpu block.

Comments, advice, greatly appreciated master.

Now, im going to be running a cpu block, a north bridge block, a gpu block, and a rad, pump and resevoir.

No Need for NB Block, cuts down flow, and the northbridge is fine off air cooling.

I'll tell you the same thign I tell everyone SCREW RADS!!! They are a WASTE of money, just buy a heatercore, a fraction of the cost, and better performance usually. DD sells them ready to go $29.99 for a single 120mm $34.99 for a dual 120mm.

What order would this be in to optimize cooling?

I do Pump --> Rad --> CPU ---> GPU ---> T-Line ---> Pump

You can also do Pump --> CPU ---> GPU ---> Rad ----> Pump

As for where to put the res, im not sure, I dont use one, waste of time, money, and security. Someone else will tell you im sure.

Does anyone know of a good pump i could use?

Eheim 1250, or Hydor L35

whenever they get them a RBX cpu block

Get TDX, one less barb == one less tube == one less hassle.

White Water CPU blocks are also nice, but TDX is still a great block

wow thanks. You're [H]ard.

If you do use a res, put it right before the pump in your loop. That way, the pump, in a sense, primes itself.
