ok....this is gonna be long so get ready to read.....
I have am going to build a water cooling system for my p4 and soon to get radeon 9800 pro using pelts. Ive researched and read into the Swiftech blocks. I was thinking on the MCW50-T 80W and the MCW5000PT 226W. For power, i'm going to have the Meanwell PSU that everybody knows of for the 226W and i'm gonna power the 80W off of a 520W Vatec which ill be running my pc off of unless, is it possible to run both pelts off the Meanwell because it supplies 320W?? Next, i'm going to use 1/2 vynal tubing provided by swiftech...i really dont see the point in barbs so i'm going to use the quick connects......i'm going to add a 5 1/2 drive bay resivior with stright barbs from DTEk, Then ill need a pump possibly an Ehiem 1260 that pumps unrestricted 600GPH rather than buying the MP thing supplying 305 from swiftech.......now for the big and last compent is the cooling for my circuit.....i have been told to have two seperate circuits for each pelt block since pelts put out so much heat and to have a pump for each and a radiator for each, well i want to keep everything together and dont have the $$ for that..............i have two ideas, the first is to purchase the dual fan Black Ice Xtreme II radiator and i would run 4 fans on it at high cfm mounted outside the top panel of my case...............my main out of the ordinary idea was to buy this device called the IceProbe........the IceProbe is a device that costs $130 and can be installed into a resivior......it consists of a 50watt pelt that sits bettween an HSF and has a probe that stick out from the cold side......the probe gets mounted through a hole in the resivior allowing it to cool the water as an ice ball forms around it and to around convey a temp of 15C without the use of a radiator.
Thankyou for whoever has read this...please consider my iceprobe idea and give me some suggestions and feedback
