Okay, could somebody estimate for us the total heat that these bongs would dissipate with 4x 78cfm 120mm fans and that large pump?

This is an estimation:

Computer: 80W of heat to the water
Pump: 200W of heat to the water
Primary Heater Element: 500W
Secondary (Variable) Heater Element: 400W


Is this good enough for the bongs to handle? Is it too much? Or is it too little

The dimmer I found can handle up to 500W so wiring a 400/450 W element would seem the right thing to do. The pump is 317W BUT I doubt that all 317W will go into the water. The computer will be a 1700+ oc'ed to its limits and cooled by a squirrel block. I think that the PSU will also be watercooled.

That brings another question...Is cooling the transistors connected to the heatsink enough? We are going to get rid of the fan.

Thank you for your replies
