Water cooling advice..

Yep.. Another WC advice thread. Following on from a thread earlier in the week where I was thinking of changing things around. I've been thinking about putting a second loop in..

I've currently got a PA120.2 cooling my 6400 and HD2900 and was thinking of separating this. Would a PA120.1 be enough for the HD2900? Then I could leave the 120.2 doing the CPU. Or would it be better the other way round?

A PA120.1 would be plenty for an HD2900.

Cool.. Am going to have to look into this then!

Just need to figure out where to mount the rad in my Eclipse now..

Put the 120.1 in the front and the PA120.2 on the back on a swiftech radmount, or put it in the roof at the expense of a few drive bays.

I personally have a PA120.2 on the back, and a 120.1 at the front. My 2 harddrives are in the floppy bay.

My 120.2 is already mounted in the roof so thats OK.

I could move my Raptor up to the floppy bay, then drop out the HD cage and put the .1 in there..

You reckon blowing in or sucking out of the case for the fan? If its blowing in, it could heat the case up a fair bit..

I'm still using it as an intake, the air coming off of that rad isn't too hot, saying that neither is the air coming off of my PA120.2

Having the front fan blowing out might not work too well as you wouldn't have a proper intake.
