maxSaleen,
Thank you for your time. I looked at the links you provided.
I really do like the Lian Li V2100B with the side window. What attracts me is that the front has a cover so that you do not see the drives. I am concerned about how my power supply woiuld fit into that case. 5.9" x 3.4" x 9.0" (W x H x D)
That case caught my eye as well as the coolermaster stacker for size but the build quality of the lian li is way above when I initially started case shopping.
Radiators:
Do the Black Ice Xtreme 3 at 2445KCal (9702 BTU Per/hr) have better or worse performance than a heater core? Say a 2-342.
CPU blocks:
I see that the Storm performs well but would like the newest design that Cathar offers as well as support his cause if possible. Then man has spent a great deal of his life to get where he is. That is worth something to me. Admire you drive Cathar
GPU blocks:
I agree in your theory about DDR3 but with simple testing of fans blowing on the chips I was able to increase the clock speed from 1300Mhz to 1400Mhz. This is why I planned on using the full cover water blocks . To deal with the coolant flow restrictions, that is one of the reasons I planned a dual loop system as well as cooling benefits. I might be able to go higher once watercooling is in place which comes to your next question.
Yes, I am looking for a cool,stable, quiet system but also on a quest for extreme performace ( aren't we all ) Currently at 255x11 (2805 Mhz) I would consider phase change cooling if I was not so worried about condensation. Living in almost 100% realitive humidity( as you know living in Florida), in an old beach house that is sealed up as much as a screen door, there is no way I am able to keep a dry room. Water cooling is my option.
What is your current cooling system sir?
Thanks again maxSaleen
