i7 Watercooling advice....

spitzoid · 14 Jan 2009 at 23:42

Ok, I want to watercool my set up (CPU & GPU)

Can you advise some parts for me - tubing size, strength of pump, compression fittings or not, etc.

Also, I have been told that I can't fit a triple rad on a Antec 1200 - is this right? And if so, would a 120.2/240 rad do the job?

cheers

you can get a 120.3 in there with some work. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17875571&page=7

Hang it on the back with a swiftech radbox mate

general consensus - tubing 7/16" over 1/2" barbs. im using this, incredibly tight fit. no need for clamps.
18w Laing Ultra pump

a 10w laing would do a cpu/1card loop tbh

With far fewer issues when it comes to bleeding the loop. The 18W is OTT for most projects, and it's often very noisy because it's whooshing away and the air never gets a chance to bleed out.

Uh oh, now you tell me. I just ordered an 18w. Mind you, I have an Ehiem 1200 at the minute, do you think it will be quieter than that?

You could put a 120.2 rad internally and hang a 120.2 rad out the back if you don't wish to modify the case.

If you can bleed it out, it's very quiet.
