Suggestions on parts for water cooling system.

[Ox In Your Box]

Well I've gotten the bug for watercooling for my duron setup which is coming in soon. Was wondering what people recommend(specific parts or a kit) for a basic setup to get me started. Keep in mind I'm a newbie to the awesome power of peltier+H20 cooling. Also a question-I've got an alpha+leufken kit that I was using on one of my 366s@605 which I kept when I sold the BP6 and the other chip and setup (guy didn't want SMP weird). Would it be worth it to incorporate this and a water block into the setup adding extra cooling for the water?

Any and all suggestions welcomed.

Here's my list of favorite parts...
H2O block: Dangerden standard waterblock
mountingclip: dangerden or overclock-watercool
Radiator: small, black radiator from overclock-watercool
Pump: Get the rese-pump from overclock-watercool (includes an inline pump attached to a reservoir)

As far as adding the peltier, INDEED DO ADD IT! You'll get great temperatures. Be sure to take insulation precautions.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was already planning on having a peltier in the setup. What I was meaning by using my old peltier alpha kit was to strap it to a waterblock not on anything else and use it as a mini radiator. If this would help or just look cool I dunno.

i will vouch for danger den water block


just for comparison:

2coolcomputers.com alum. water block is about 2-3C HIHGHER in temp with normal water cooling than a pep66, and a danger den copper water is 2-3C LOWER than a pep66.

maybe b/c of material however...

I highly doubt this. You need a copper plate for alum. blocks w/ coppermines/AMD chips cuz the heat needs to be spread out. That's probably causing the prob.

How about this suggestion: Make your own parts. That is half the fun! At least the parts that can make =]

OMG this is still alive lol. Quite an old one. Here's what I'm thinking of so far:

Ehiem 1250
Maze2
Radiator- 2 for my case project. As far as what to get anyone have ideas? No cubes. I'm thinking hayden or black ice extreme. Gotta do more research
2 panaflow h1a 120's one for each radiatior
1/2" silicon tubing
Reservoir-I'd say about anything would work depending on how much or how little I should have.

Any question comments concerns?

the pump and block are fine, I wouldn't go for a Hayden now, look to a BIX or heatercore

The rest is fine
