Watercooled Eclipse. Finished

Dreamcaster, is the Rad your using capable of dealing with a ND waterblock in the loop as well? I like the idea of having all the kit internal however the dual rads look a bit to big to fit in.

If you fit a dual rad then you will lose two of the bays. (something i wanted to avoid as i need all of them.) You can always mount the rad on the back.

I'm getting 48c-51c load on 3.6 @ 1.45v dual prime TAT. I would have thought it would be fine to put the chipset in too. Things would just start to get iffy with a graphics card.

I plan to dual loop in the future when i get a card worth cooling :)

I had thought of getting the Swiftech ultra kit and taking the easy option of just sticking the rad on the back but the case is big enough without a huge Rad hanging off the back.

Yeah thats the thing. If you are only thinking of cooling the cpu this is the ideal option imo. You lose no drive bays and it looks very neat.

If you plan to cool the gpu you could always add another loop dedicated to that and have it internally mounted on the back fan. This is what i plan to do anyways.

how much did the watercooling cost you total?

very nice setup tbh! thinking of doing the same with my mirage
 
Just added a meshx fan guard to help keep dust at bay :)

Dreamcaster,
I am thinking of doing exactly the same as you but I am new to watercooling. Is there any problems associated with having the rad above the resevoir, I always thought the resevoir should be at the highest point in the circuit?
 
No, it works perfect tbh, although i am selling the case and cooling as i'm upgrading and need a bigger rad. Looking to get a lian li with rad in roof.
