Having digested (most) of the mine of information on this forum, I have gone for Cathar's performance/noise compromise.:

BIP2 (ie WAFO

)
2 Eheim 1048s in series (first one with Innovatek small res)
Maze 4 GPU
Swiftech 6000
Mix of 3/8 and 1/2 ID tubing (due to 6000)

This is all shoehorned into a PC60 case! BIP2 is at the top of the case with a 1" thick shroud box with 2 x Past 4312 NGL (32 mm thick, 55 cfm) pulling. Exhaust via 2 x 80 mm Panaflo H1A @ 8 volts at bottom front of case, 1 x YS tech 80 mm low noise at back of case, and PSU exhaust. Exit water temp of rad (inline thermal diode- actually fairly accurate when tested with boiling water and ice) is (RT of 20 deg C) 21-22 deg C with an FX 55 at 2.8 GHz at idle, 23 deg C full load. CPU temperature is anybodys guess, due to the combination of the AMD 64 temperature (is this true?) and MSI Neo2 Platinum (this one is certainly true) reporting bugs (will probably replace this board with the DFI NF4- when it ever comes out

)
So this seems quite good
Only problem is the Papst fans- is it just me, or do they make a rather intrusive bearing noise? I have a Panaflo L1A kicking around- was thinking of getting another, replacing the Papsts, and running the Panflos at 8 volts. Thing is the exhaust side of one of the fans will be only 1" from the top of a DVD drive- problem with turbulence?
Thanks

Geoff
