Ok i've spent days searching and found nothing. In my TJ07 will a single triple radiator be enough at the bottom for my cpu and gpu? What pump, reservoir and radiator should i go for? Which size tubing is best? Thanks a lot as i am really stuck;)

i was thinking about this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...8-XS&tool=3&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1042 and this:

what barbs do i need? is this a good setup?

Hey man

Grats on your TJ07. I absolutely love mine to bits. First off, although the radiator will be enough to handle your setup at acceptable temps if I were you I would go for something a little beefier. Your options are as follows:

1) Thermochill PA120.3
2) TFC Xchanger 480 Quad
3) XSPC RX360

The pump/resevoir combo you have already selected with your 1st link is fine. You might consider the "Ultra 18W" DDC over the 10W as it is more powerful (but more expensive). Also tubing wise I went for 3/4" OD - 1/2" ID and personally I feel these are too chunky. I am going for the 7/8" OD - 1/2" ID now and I hope this will be better.

In terms of barbs well there are two methods. Barbs and jubilee hose clips (where you buy the G1/4" threaded barbs and screw them into your waterblock and then attach the tubing with a jubilee clip holding the fit down) or there are compression fittings. Personally I much prefer the latter as they are much easier to work with, look nice and are very secure.

Check out a thread I recently started here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18011571

Although my setup isnt very good if you scroll down there are pictures of other guys TJ07s and they look absolutely stunning. I will be sorting mine soon thanks to the inspiration these guys have given me!

P.S You can see on my setup that I use compression fittings almost exclusively. I would strongly recommend them especially as it sounds like you are new to water cooling.

Well, you would probably have to mount the DDC/XSPC res combo in your main chamber - I'm not sure if there is enough room in the bottom compartment. Likewise, you would want easy access to the thing to fill/drain your loop so my vote is the main compartment. Just behind your drive covers at the front for example. Grab a 120 x 120mm bit of velcro and use it to attach the pump/res combo.
