Project build time

[ChrisLandin]

Evening.

Right I've got a bit of a dilemma. I'm wanting to watercool my htpc.

The case I'm going to use is my Antec Fusion Max. Now I've modded the case to take a 360 rad ( build log coming soon ) and I was also goin to use a 120 rad on the rear of the case.

Dry fitted it all today minus my new gpu 7970 which is coming oh so soon and it's a very tight fit.

What im needin to cool is the following

i5 2500k (EK Nickel Block )
16gb corsair dominator ( EK block )
Asus gene z MOSFET waterblock (EK Block )
Sapphire 7970 ( EK Fullcover Block )

Will I be ok running it off a 360 rad or am I better off trying to find a better way to fit the 120 into the loop as well.

The pump I'm gonna use is a D5 and I'm going for Mayhems Pastel Blue coolant.

Any help advice here is greatly appreciated. I'm guessing it's going to pay in the long run working the 120 rad into the loop but I just want to make sure.

Cheers

Yea that's what I was kinda thinking but I wasn't 100%. Cheers mate. If worst case scenario is that I can't get it in I'm just going to have to be conservative with my CPU oc.

What im going to try to achieve ( and its a big try as im no pc modder lol ) is to watercool as much of my hptc as possible.

3 reasons for this:

1) silence and good temps
2) looks. Im going to mod the top panel with a piece of plexi to show it all off
3) baby Landin has been announced so this is a one off project now whilst I can semi afford it

My 7970 has arrived today and also my 1155 pentium which im using now to type all this so im on my back up system now and all the fun begins tomorrow.
