Watercooling - pitfalls?

[Was]

Hi Guys,

Going to move to watr cooling to queiten down the system, will be using a cpu, gpu and chipset blocks and a single rad with 120mm fan.
Hoping to mount the rad in the top of the case with the fan blowing air up through it out of the caes(is it better to have it blow through or suck through?)
I have a 120mm fan in the power supply chucking air out the back.
Is there anything else I would need? some sort of air intake fan?
I have a mounting for a fan on the side of the case and one at the front should I add anything to these? any other components I should consider cooling?
Going for silence rather than o/c.
Rig is as my sig

Thanks for that guys, I'll have a res as well so that shouldnt be too bad we will see how well it all goes together (i can see funny coloured water going everywhere! but still plannng the layout atm!

So would you suggest cool being sucked in by the fan through the rad and then expelled via the the psu?
Maybe with the rad at the front of the case, hmm lots of thoughts..

Would have thought that would not give me very good airflow for the case not sure really just want as few fans as possible!

Not so worried about the hdd as the samsung is really quiet and only really hear it if its getting thrashed which is rare.

Powersupplies 120mm fan is pretty quiet and temp controlled so not too bad, would rather not have to swap that fan about, If I did i would rather find some sort of water cooling for it

Do i need much in the way of airflow over the memory? what about all the gubbins around the cpu and harddisk?

thats how mine is setup and its silent system hope it helps

Thats pretty much what i was thinking was just worried about case aire flow and air intake

But if it works for you then ill give it a try thanks for that
