Closed GPU loop advice needed
I'm not sure if this is a regular thing, or not, but I want to set up a dedicated GPU loop to cool my smokin' x1900xt. I have two major objectives for this:
1. maximum cooling/price
2. extremely low noise operation
My system is housed in an Antec P180, so a PA160 will not fit where I'm placing the rad (up front). Current component considerations:
Radiator:
Swiftech MCR120 Quiet Power $30
Thermochill PA120.1 $85
edit: also considering:
DTek Pro-120 combo $40
-is the price difference worth it?
GPU Block:
Swiftech MCW60 $60 (w/ ramsinks)
DD Maze4 GPU $45
Dtek AquaXtreme MP-1 $45
-which is the best 3/8" ID block? Why? Evidence?
Pump/Resivoir:
Swiftech MCRES-1000P $95
Fan:
Scythe S-Flex 1200RPM temp controlled w/ ABit uGuru $14
4ft. Tygon 3/8" ID
Input, suggestions welcome.
