Hello Guys

Rigg in signature ;

Looking to get rid of all my fans as the 9700 Fan is very noisy along with my 8800GTX , not looking for any insane speeds here either as my current 2.9Ghz I am very very happy with just want it all silent .

This kit has to fit into a Antec P180 case as well .

Sugggestions please ?
 
You should be able to go much higher than 2.9ghz with a good water setup, people have been getting 3.5-3.6 on the best air, so on water you should get 3.6 no problem imo.

Put together a good water kit and you can achieve those clocks anyway, so no point of sticking to 2.9 if you can get a lot more out of it ;)

For cpu block id go with D-tek fuzion, pump id go with DDC ultra, tubing 7/16" and a res or T line, i think a res is easier imo. Not sure for GPU blocks
 
Also look at the Swiftec Apogee CPU block.
Rads I would go for Thermochill. Meant to be the best but are quite thick. Stealth rads are thinner if you are going for an internal set up.
Danger Den and EKU I think are the GPU blocks of choice at the moment.
Also, get the plexi top for the DDC pump. Much improvement on performance with input at top, out put from side.
Even with a res you may want a T line for easy filling! I have a res ontop of the DDC and its a pain to fill, great to bleed! I put a T line in so could fill by that and bleed from the res.
Only other thing is make sure you clean the rad before use, and make sure your CPU is flat on top! I need to lap mine, but at the moment lots of AS5 is filling the gap!!
