1st post YEAH!!!i've been lurking and reading forums and reviews from a few forums and decided to finnally join this one because everyone seems pretty knowlegable in quite a few areas so here's the question OH OH OH i brought pictures toooooo
I would like some opinions/comments/flames on my selections that i am going to use to delve into the world of watercooling/overclocking here's the bits and pieces
case: antec p180
power: antec neoHE 500w
cpu: AMD x2 4200 manchester 2mb L2 cache
MoBo: asus A8N-sli premium
ram: 2GB (1024x2) OCZ platinum
vid: eVGA 6800GS x1 for now sli later
HDD1: WD 36 gb raptor for boot/games
HDD2: joerandom sataII with 100+gb storage
dvd/cdr: Plextor 716SA SATA
now my thoughts(i use the term loosley) om my water cooling setup, what i'm going for is mainly performance, but quiet(er) then 6 or more fans blasting away to get the same overclocking numbers, with a stock look in an unconventional(p180) case for water cooling, no flash and fanfare when it comes to windows and lights and uv dyes and stuff. Unless I open up the case i don't want anyone to be able to tell it's watercooled.
here's the stuff for the h20
tubing 3/8" tygon or clearflex
pump/res combo: MCRES-1000P
rad: MRC80-QPK- is an 80mm crossflow rad with a resoldered end tube
CPU block: was thinking DD TDX but i heard they need lots of pump
NB: none, it has a heatpipe on it
gpu(s): DangerDen NV-68or somthing similar to the one i posted below which is one somone made from xtremesytems forum, i do have accsess to a cnc at my old highschool so i could make one like that.
as far as rads go are 80mm ones pretty useless or what? i haven't seen many comparisons for rads that small i guess that should tell me somthing but...i dunno
here's some sweet mspaint drawings of what i was thinking and a pic of the water block, rad mod.....................and a little monster
Thanks guys
