Hey Knight sorry for not mentioning you, I forgot you had a hand in the article too. Also I have to apoligize for being a newb to pelts and all that goes with that as well as the fact that my thoughts tend to be scattered.
So, down to business, my intention is to come up with something as good as the best watercooling (performance wise) using a realitively weak pelt water chiller ala mcx452 (and hopefully cutting noise levels down). Basically what I am thinking is, using the procooling pic below as a visual guide:
1. replace the "MCW5002 (hot side)" with a pair of 6000's (my thinking is better performance block would aid in better cooling of the hot side)
2. create my own "MCW5002 baseplates (chilling water)" using the two copper pin server blocks I mentioned earlier or even better if there is a ready made solution I would go for that.
3. replace "226W TEC" with a pair of 72W TEC's (remember my intention is not for sub zero performance, I only want my CPU load temp to be say 25-30c at worst oced to the hilt running 2.1v while priming)
4. replace the blazer cores with 1 (preferably) or 2 (if necessary) BIP II's with (2)120mm Papst FGL's. I am hoping with only two 72W TEC's this is all that would be necessary to cool (as you can tell I want super quiet)
5. replace the two larger pumps you guys used with a single more powerful (that March pump Cathar posted about or even keep my current MagDrive3 though I am really wanting to move to a 12v pump) or two or even three tiny (ala c-systems) pumps to keep two seperate loops going (so I either use one loop with both 6000's or 2, one for each 6000).
6. running all through 3/8" or 7/16" hose for compactness.
What do you think? What do you suggest? Remember I am not interested in subzero temps. Thanks again Knight.
