how does this system look

Hans5849 · 11-01-2004, 10:20 PM

ok, im water cooling my p4, and i inted to add cooling for a 6800GT and 3 hard drives at some point. i know most hard drives don't need water cooling, but this is something that i want to do.

Block- Danger Den RBX
Northbridge- Danger Den Z-Chip
Radiator- 2x Swiftech MCR80
Reservoir- Next-Cool W-Tank LX
Relay- CritiCool PowerPlant Rev. 2
Pump- Hydor L35 or Swiftech MCP650
Hard Drive- Innovatek HD-O-Matic Micro

now i couldn't decide between the two pumps, basically which one would be quieter and keep with good preforamnce for a oced system, and im going to wait a while before buying a water cooler for the 6800GT.

I would ditch the northbridge block its not worth it. I have one thats just sitting in a drawer unused. A good northbridge heatsink is all u need (like the swifty one, which i have).
For the pumps if noise is a big concern look at the mcp600 or an ehiem, both are great pumps, i own 2 eheims and love them and just ordered the mcp600.

I'd ditch the RBX for a MCW6002 or at least a TDX. I'd also ditch the reservoir. It'll only hurt your flow rate. And get the MCP650. It's a much better pump than a Hydor or even an Eheim. You won't need a relay then because the MCP650 is 12V. And forget the hard drive waterblocks. They're a waste of money. Save it better hardware.

I'd agree with the Swiftech CPU block recommendation. Get a 6000 or 6002. And absolutely forget the hard drive coolers, they are unnecessary, kill your flow rates, raise the CPU and GPU temps and I've killed a drive before trying to use one. Just make sure your HD's get a little airflow past them and you're good.

More radiator would help.

Yeah, those 2 micro rad's will not be good at all for all you want to cool. You need more rad for sure.

Mucho bigness in the radiator is a must, try to squeeze in the most unproportional and rediculously oversized hunk of copper and solder in your case as possible. It works wonders for me

can you guys recomend a good site to get my hardware from, i've been using frozencpu and xoxide, but i don't think they have enough
