New Cooling Setup

[Msm2]

That looks like a challenge?

 

[Freak]

Couldnt you put the radiators in parrallel to get cooled?

so that the same air goes through both? I am not sure how much of a difference there is between ambience and the air that comes off of the radiator.

i was working on a way to mount a 120.3 rad on the roof and still make it look good, ill try dig it out.

(its no way to scale in the picture but it does fit)

Make a mesh frame around the rad so you can still unscrew it from in the case and change/take it out ect ect, once the frames there use car body filler or something similar to make a nice smooth incline on all sides, then make a mount to put a rad grill on top to tidy it up. obviously you will need to cut holes in the top to alow air flow but yeah you get the idea.

1) this looks better than just having a rad sat on top of your case imo,

2) you cant nock it

3) it looks unique?

4) ignore the poo tetris design on it lol

If I want to cool both 4850s and the E8400 would it be better to have a 360mm rad and a 240mm rad.

 

[I Hunta x]

yeah id look at both, if your stuck where to mount it see above to my previous post, tripple top - double front in hdd bays

ive cut some paper to tripple rad size and its a pretty nice fit except it needs to be on top outside the case unless you have a fairly slim rad then it might fit

Been looking at the Black Ice Stealths.

 

[theelusiveyoda]

stealths are only really any good for small form factor and htpc cases when you cant fit a full size air cooler, get atleast a 240mm rs to keep your 8400 cool.

 

[Msm2]

What would be the best set of rads to cool a E8400 and 2 4850s

 

[tinytomlogan]

Good quality rads dude tbh, xspc r120d/t + depends on budgets but Id miss the stealths tbh

 

[Msm2]

Looks like i will be buying a RS240 and a RS360.

 

[tinytomlogan]

the RS are below the R120D and R120T dude, you want those or better imho for good temps.

 

[Msm2]

Who stocks the R120D and R120T cos I cant find them on the XSPC site. (Am I being thick).RS or RX

 

[Msm2]

With some searching over the net,I have got a list of components I think should be ok to water cool MSM2.

Pump - Laing DDC1+ Ultra

CPU Block - Swiftech Apogee GTX

GPU Block - Razor 4850 Acetal X 2

Reservoir - Dual 5.25

Rads - Swiftech MCR 220-QP X2 & Swiftech MCR 220-QP-STACK

Not sure which tubing to go for just yet.

 

[Motoman]

Feser 360 or Thermachill 360 both good rads.

 

[Msm2]

They wont fit into the Antec 300.

 

[Motoman]

Feser 240 or thermachill 120.2

 

[Msm2]

Not found where to buy these in the UK plus price could be very high.

 

[Msm2]

The Swiftech rads are ideal for the application due space limitations inside the Antec 300.
