water cooling aTJ07

Right excuse the ignorance and lazyness.

I want to water cool my TJ07.

I have seen some examples and have started putting some custom kit together but heck its expensive - £424 and rising so far with out the bids and bobs.

I want to cool the CPU, chipsets and 8800GTX. I was thinking of two loops. Does this mean basically two seperate systems?

I do not particularly wish to start extensive case mods. I am sure someone has done this before and is happy. Care to talk me through what you bought and why? Or would any expert care to spec me a good custom kit?

I am having mine done atm, same case as well. 2 Loops mean 2 set of WC system. 2 Pumps, 2 Rads, 2 Res. Lets say:

First Loop - Res --> Pump --> CPU --> NB --> SB --> RAD --> Res

Second Loop - Res --> Pump --> GPU --> RAD --> Res

So I am thinking about:

tagon 1/2 inch tubing
danger Den TDX block
EK 8800 GTX
Laing DDC utra with the plexi top
Alphacool laing ultra DDC
Thermochill PA120.2
Black Ice Pro 11 240mm
swifttech MCW30
fluid XP + extreme
No idea about the rersevators, guages and bits and pieces.

change the dd tdx to d-tek fuzion or apogee gt.

i would recommend going for 120.3 and 120.2. but im not a wc guru here, might want to hear what others have to say.

Go with lolcb's choice of block

Don't bother with NB cooling (plenty of good and silent air options around)

You only cooling 1 gfx card?

Possibly just stick to 1 loop as follows.

pa120.3
dtek or apogee gt cpu block
ek gfx full cover block
ultra ddc
res or T line
tubing

if you want to add second card in sli then will need a second loop. For now it is a bit overkill.

Put the rad in the bottom, move HDD up into 5.25 bays (behind the karma intake) mount the rest wherever you think looks good / gives shortest tubing path.

(google for "120.3 tj07", there are plenty out there)
