Wuttcha think?

Wuttcha think of this setup for AMD64 and a 9800XT?

White Water CPU
Maze4 GPU
Eheim 1250
DangerDen dual 120 heatercore
10ish feet of tygon 1/2

Any resevoir that you guys would suggest?

Maybe some of these would be pretty crappy?

Thanks for ur input

EDIT: How about additives?

Many options for an airtrap, from the simple T-line, to an actual contraption (see link in sig).

Everyone's got a different opinion on additives. pHaestus I believe has the simplest solution: throw in a little anti-freeze. No one's gone wrong with that.

Well the person that has asked my advice wouldn't want to build anything.

Anything with just a plain jane cylindrical res from dangerden? link

How do the PolarFlo blocks compare to the WW?

Tygon

Seems to be the latest magic word in wc'ing :shrug:
I've seen to many problems with it to ever want to use it again

Tygon (and especially the large one with thin walls) bleeds like hell ...
I'm using siliconetubing now

Much more easy to come by, very cheap, as bendable (or better) and doesn't bleed a single drop

T-piece should work fine, res can be tricky with that 1250. Have seens enough that the air was sucked back in the circuit because of the power of that pump

I have a similar setup. I have a Maze4 on my NB as well. I also use a pair of single radiators in parrallel rather than a dual. I haven't had time to duild a rad box so the rads just sit on the desk with a room fan blowing over them. My Barton 2500 @ 2315 runs at 10C over idle.

do u suggest I get a different pump then?

I dont think my friend will be comfortable with a t-line

i have a danger den cylinder res now and it does a great job. i do reccomend however, that you get one of their new fancy aluminum fill caps. the red plastic cap that comes with it will do the job but it clashes with most computer cases if the fill port is exposed. also, try to use those straight fittings on the res instead, it reduces pressure loss compared to the elbows.

Okay Thanks...

Any suggestions on the blocks?

Obvously the WW is the best u can get at the moment, but availibility is an issue. If u can get it great, but if not, from what ive read (including here at pro cooling) either the TDX or the top of the line swifty are the way to go. For lower performance pumps go with the swifty as it has less pressure drop, but if u got a pump with a high head height then go with the TDX. I got the Iwaki WMD20 pump and went with the TDX personally. It should be here shortly.

Looks like the MCW6000 wins unless you have a monster pump.

since the 6000 is more restrictive than the WW (pHaestus max'd at 2.22gpm with the 6000 and 2.46 with the Dtek WW) unless you've got a weak pump they're pretty comprable...)
