How is this setup?
I've been tweeking PC's since the NEC V20 days (XT's), but this is my first try at H2O cooling. Just wondering if you guys with experience would checkout my plan before I pull a bonehead:
System:
Asus A7M266
Athlon XP 1800+
512 megs Crucial DDR @ CAS2
Enermax 365 PSU
Nvidia TNT2 (GeForce3 Ti 200, when released)
Cooling:
DD Maze2 - 1/2"
DD Chipset block - 3/8"
Eheim 1250
DD Heater Core - 1/2"
120mm fan or 8" car fan (see below)
The heater core, reservoir, pump, fan and 12V power supply will be in a separate box with just the cooler lines running into the cpu case. I'll have to build junction blocks to tap the 3/8" lines off of for the chipset cooler, which will probably have restictors to limit the flow to the chipset and increase the flow to the cpu. As far as fans go, I can run a 120mm or use an 8" 12V car fan that moves 800CFM. If I use a variable power supply on the 8" fan, I can dial it down to reduce the noise, but still pull more volumn than the 120mm. My goal is to have system that is quiet and worry free. What do you think? Any thing you would change?
Just wanted to say, Procooling.com is an excellent resource and very well designed, I have spent the last few weeks digesting all the info, thanks
