Setting up Water Cooling in Pc-70 Some cool stuff inside

MaxxxRacer · 10-07-2004, 03:52 AM

Hi all, I am looking into getting a new case and I need a monster of a case to fit my water cooling and I think i have found the optimal case. The pc-70. It is giant so it should be able to hold all of my water cooling gear. I was thinking of the cube, but its too expensive and its got too many spots for fans (I run with only 2 120mm fans on low speed).

To make things easier for me I decided to put my setup with the Pc-70 into AutoCAD. I color coded the different parts in the case. Here are the color codes in colored text to match. Note that the reason that it looksl like I have two video cards is because the lower "card" is actually the amount of space that the water cooler takes up. I put the second plane there to show where i cant put the pump. if it touches the bottom plane then it would actually be touching the vid card itself... not a good thing... especially considering the vibrations the iwaki produces.

The Last pic that I attached is with a different configuration. I was wondering if mounting the radiator above the res would cause any problems, such as getting the air out of the rad. I could have the res at the top if i needed to make things easier...

RED=MOBO AND DARK RED IS VID CARD
PURPLE= CD ROM BAYS AND HD BAYS
BLUE= DUAL 120MM RADIATOR
GREEN= IWAKI MD-20RLT PUMP
ORANGE= POWER SUPPLY UNIT

Here is a picture of the inside of the case for reference just in case the pictures of the 3d renderings confuse you.

get an MD-20RZT instead, much better for cooling applications

I already have the WMD-RLT. I contacted iwaki to get the Z head for it. The Z and L are the same pump with different impeller. I will do some testing in my loop when i get the Z head. Then we will find out for sure which is the best for water cooling.....

excellent, even better, it probably varies depending on restriction of loops...
