Currently building my first water cooling kit and I've run into a slight snag with my reservoir. To save space, I plan on submerging my pump, but I don't know what capacity to build the resevoir to. I can easily get about 3 liters accounting for the pump displacement, but is that enough? I working within size limitations of roughly 5.5" wide by 5.5" deep by 8" tall. Cooling will be provided by a 8"x8"x1" aluminum heatercore that is cooled by two 172mm fans, one pushing and one pulling. Pump will be a Viaaqua 305; yes, I know, very cheap, but this is essentially a starter kit.
