And the resevoir what should i use? I need to know what types of clear materials for my res, I plan on mounting this in a high tower atx server case (modded ofcourse, I am working on the actual design layout atm, but I have decided to rid of this dell mobo and overclock my p4 2.6 prescott ht to 3.6-4.0, INPUT please alos Im new so HIYA!
Also What thickness should the copper plates be I plan on purchasing, I am a carpenter, so lets try to stay in inches LOL. Ill keep you guys posted on how well this plays out for me, plan on taking about a month to complete this project. (Also plan on fuxin up alot.)
HERE IS MY CASE, I plan on starting wed of this week with the res, and water blocks if i can find the material fast enough.
Second edit, I went into photoshop and did a fast illustration of my idea, simple design just wanting some opinions on the efrfectiveness of flow and restriction. |
I'd crap the res if possible, but if you decide to build it, use acrylic and acrylic joiner, it's s chemical the melts the plastc together
you want to use copper, thickness is up to you, have a look in the waterblock galleries, I recommend AGAINST acrylic tops, they crack
what's the head rating on that pump?
what are you doing for a rad? you need 50sq in or more to effectively (read, quietly) handle that prescott.
think about active cooling for your mosfets
