First Water Setup

[braz2kuk]

Hi,

I have an akasa mirage case, and have decided i want to water cool my cpu and gpu.

Been looking on OCUK website for some parts, however i am new to this so please tell me if i miss something i need or if i am doing something wrong

PUMP: Swiftech MCP655 12 V DC £49.94
RES: Swiftech Res £11.46
RAD: Swiftech MCR220 - QP Dual 120mm Radiator £25.84

Obviously i need some barbs i think i want 1/2" ones as i have heard there better for cooling and i will need some 1/2" tubing.

I had a thought about a loop and decided on this:

RES -> CPU -> GPU -> RAD -> RES

Let me know if this is wrong i have no experience with this what so ever and any help or tips or suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks

Thanks for the info,

I couldn't get that exact setup but i have ordered the following:

Black Ice Extreme 240 Rad w/ 1/2" Barbs
Laing D5 Vario Pump
Repack Cooling Slot Res w/ 1/2" Barbs
10 Zinc Plated Jubilee Wormdrive Clips
4 Feet Tygon 1/2" Hose
Danger Den TDX 775 Block w/ 1/2" Fittings
Danger Den 8800 GTX Block w/ 1/2" Fittings

Anyone see any problems with the above? Could i get away with a single 120 radiator? to save on space or better get the 240??

Thanks

Ok,

received my PA 120.2 RAd this morning along with fans and 1/2" nikel barbs, think i might start a new thread on modding my Akasa Mirage for internal 1/2" water cooling. Going to mount the RAD in the top of the case and have two blow holes pulling in outside air.
