Yeah Rick, I've seen those German Quads and it would have been a nice touch, but I started this project with the plan of staying inside the case, which is why I bought the 3 x 140mm Monsta Lite - fits right in the top of the case and is easily a match for the Feser 4x120 Quad (one and a half inches shorter but 1 and a half inches wider)

on top of that I own 2 Feser Quads 4x120, the Feser Duo 2x120 and the thermochill 1x120 and can fit one or the other inside, with a little modding required to fit the duo.

Can't be buying that flat dude now but it would have been a great place to start:thumbsup:

Maybe next time :P

The H20-220 is a great little starter kit, especiallyh back in the societ 775 days. I've known people to use them on i7s too though. Good pump, good CPU block, just the rad kind of sucks :P Can't go wrong to use it to get your feet wet :P

Have some waterblocks in mind, but what would you guys pair with something like this?

Been looking at the Swiftech H2O-220 (dual 120s) & 320 (triple 120s)... and EK's equivalent for the i7 & dual EVGA GTX 570 SC based system that I'm putting together.

Thnx for the post MD :thumbsup:

Ahhh

So let me see

1 - 3x140 ?
1 - 2x120
1 - 1x120

Is that correct :Dizzy:

if so ....

Personally I would use three pumps, just a little pisser for the chipset with the single 1x120

3x140 GPU's and th 2x120 for the CPU

All on there own loop

2x120 I doubt would be able to hold down 2x 580's at a decent clock ...

I would also look to get as much Volume in the CPU and GPU loops to the tune of dual bays for each loop and just a micro or even a fill port for the chipset ....

I was actually leaning towards the H20-320 triple over the dual - that is before I caught a good look at the MO-RA3. ;) I'm after the highest stable overclocks I can possibly get on a watercooled system. Looking at the 2600k so far unless something better comes out before purchase - the cpu & gpu's will be the last things I get. Whatever I get I'd definitely be swapping out the fans for maximum airflow - I'm talking 90CFM or higher if possible.

I'm also looking at the EK-Supreme HF (high flow) waterblock for my cpu & something pretty darn close in performance for the nb/sb chipsets as well.

What would you guys do for the cpu & gpu's as far as watercooling goes? and why? -if you don't mind my asking. I'm just after the most reliable watercooling system possible (not a "starter kit") - even if I have to piece it together myself

As far as pumps go, these so called PC water cooling pumps suck balls as far as I am concerned.... bar none there simply is not a good one made IMHO

Eheim fish tank pumps will move some water, if you are handy you just need a relay to switch the voltage and make it come on with boot up. or a 120v switch will do, just don't forget to turn it on

They will whip the shit out of anything on these so called designer bend me over water cooling sites

I have a 655 .... total POS my 1250 smoked this thing. george has it now. back in the day they even had a PCI card to bring it on at boot ....

LOL we were making our own blocks back then.... :laughing:

:ohcrap:Thats as honest as I can be

well...:blush: close but no cupie, kinka my fault for not mentioning the others I have - besides, you forgot the 2 ea 4x120 Feser quads which I believe I DID mention :laughing:

I've also got a Swifty 2x120 and a Swifty 2x120 stackable which I doubt I'll ever use :Dizzy: Keep in mind the 2x120 and 1x120 as well as the 3x140 are all either Feser or Thermochill so they're the nice big thick bad boys, not the skinny little runts like the Swifties :rofl:

I had though of three pumps but decided on the following
- The CPU and chipset to to the Feser Monsta Lite up top
- The GPUs go/from first the Feser Duo that I mounted on the back, then to the Thermochill on the bottom of the case.

OR... might split the CPUs and have one GPU and the CPU go to the Monsta and 1 GPU and the chipset go to the double rad setup

Didn't use my DD 2 bay resvs caue I fell in love with this
http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...roduct_id=2025

The pumps screw into the sides and are invisible to the outside world. A third pump and resv would kill the clean but deadly look I'm trying to achieve. :rofl:

What kind of flow rate to you think these pumps can deleiver

Tubulance = WIN

These are about the only ones I have ever used... http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=4510

This 900 GPH Beast has win writen all over it

Better not use those plastic clamps with this monster boys and girls :laughing:

Nice! Seen a couple pretty sweet Koolance WC setups in person as well. The dual 5.25" drive bay res&pump setups remind me of the CM Aquagate Max. I see they're between 4.6-6GPH in terms of flow with the PMP-450S pump. They pretty awesome at cooling?

lol that's quite the increase... These 900GPH pumps made for fish tanks have any probs with "forcing leaks" in tubes, joints, or waterblocks?
