Pro/Forums - View Single Post - Need a Recommendation on a H2O setup for Dual NV6800's (SLI) and an AMD FX-55

Josh_Hayes · 12-10-2004, 02:16 AM

I am planning on purchasing a new SLI motherboard, 2 x Nvidia 6800 GT's, and an AMD Athlon 64 FX-55. I think I have plenty of room inside the case (Chenbro SR107) for most cooling setups. This will be my first Watercooling system.

I was thinking of getting one of the following setups:

Swiftech MCW6000-64 CPU Waterblock (3/8" ID)
Swiftech MCW20-B Chipset Waterblock (3/8" ID)
2 x Swiftech MCW50B GPU Waterblocks (3/8" ID)
2 x Swiftech MCW50-NV4045KIT Adapter Kits for NV6800
Swiftech MCP350 WaterPump (3/8" ID)
Black Ice Xtreme II Radiator (3/8" ID)
5 1/4" Bay HDP Reservoir (3/8" ID)
Tygon Tubing (3/8" ID)
32oz of FluidXP+ Coolant

-or-

DangerDen Copper TDX CPU Waterblock (3/8" ID)
DangerDen MAZE4 Chipset Waterblock (3/8" ID)
2 x DangerDen 6800 GPU Waterblocks (3/8" ID)
DangerDen DDC-12V WaterPump (3/8" ID)
Black Ice Xtreme II Radiator (3/8" ID)
5 1/4" Bay HDP Reservoir (3/8" ID)
Tygon Tubing (3/8" ID)
32oz of FluidXP+ Coolant

Which one would be better and why? What else am I missing? Will the MXP350 be powerful enough for either of these setups? Would you recommend other items instead of the ones I chose? Am I crazy to think I could watercool these monster heat generators with the above setups?

My case :

I'm planning on mounting the Radiator right beind my two 120mm intake fans in the center of the case. The case is much bigger than it looks, it has spaces for two 92mm fans up front in the drive bays, 2 x 120mm fans in the middle and 1 x 120mm exhaust fan.

The motherboard I am planning on getting:

If all this is possible, what route would you recommend that the water takes through the system?

Will 32oz of FluidXP+ be enough for this system?
