Watercooling newbie...
 

I've finally decided to watercool my K6-3 system 'coz the fan noise is driving me up the wall! I've been reading loads of website articles about w/c, and I just want to run my idea past more experienced peeps before I go out and get a load of bits.

I've got a 4x4x2" plastic box for my reservoir, that's going in the top 5" drive bay. I was going to get a 4x4" radiator, pump and copper poly-block from OCWC. The radiator going in the front of the case with a fan drawing air into the case through the radiator. The pump is going in the bottom of the case. Water flow will go reservoir -> pump -> radiator -> waterblock -> reservoir. Everything will have 3/8" fittings and pipework.

Does this sound viable, and would it be enough to keep the >750Mhz Duron I plan to get in a couple of months cool enough?

TIA, suggestions welcome http://www.procooling.com/ubb/smile.gif

PS: Before I go and e-mail Chip at OCWC, can anyone tell me the overall dimenstions (incl. hose barbs and brackets) of the 4x4" radiator. Ta! http://www.procooling.com/ubb/smile.gif

that setup will cool your setup better than any aircooling setup can...

I believe the 4X4 radiators are actually 4X6 with the barbs and bracket

That's what I was hoping - plenty of cooling headroom for when I get a hotter CPU.
