im sorry i beg to differ heres test results

 

[ai_01]

and i just found out that the thermochill 120.3 will not fit in the front of the AA case if u want a CD/DVD drive but u can if u remount the p/w button somewhere else.

The DD Black Ice GTX is a 60mm shorter and can hold 120.3 fans, which would prob give me room for 1 more bay.

How would you rate the DD GTX's performance to the thermochill?

Wouldn't mind dishing more smackeroonies if it's worth it AND will give me more room....

I found this review:

http://candccentral.co.uk/shopforum/viewtopic.php?t=504

Where would the GTX come in the list?

So Laing DDC Pump 12V or D5?

There seems to be a divide.....

DD Black Ice GTX:

DDC < DDC Ultra < D5 < DDC w/liang < DDC w/alphacool < DDC w/petras.

i checked with my armor and u will have only 1 bay open, so either mount the therochill outside the case or inside with 1 bay and move the p/w switch. outside of the case will give u better performance. I know the thermochill is better than the DD GTX 120.3 h/e it should beat most of the radiators on the list.

I think you might want to either reverse those greater-than symbols or replace then for hyphens lol

 

[ai_01]

thanks lol, its fixed.

 

[kerochi]

...so either mount the therochill outside the case ....

what will i need to do this? like a seperate frame or box to hold the rad? maaaan, if i put PA120.3 on the outside, I might as well get the PA120.2 inside too: leaving me the option to mount another graf card in the future...

If i have this kind of setup, will i need 2 pumps?

 

[kerochi]

which of the laing is the best:

DDC Pro or DDC Ultra?

[ai_01]

GTX 360 is fine, it will fit perfectly. if u want mount the thermochill outside of the case u need a swiftech radbox.

U want the one with the top. and Ultra aka DDC-2 is the best, they are the same thing just different names.

 

[kerochi]

high flow or perfect seal?

http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php?productid=260&cat=90&page=1

 

[ai_01]

id go with high flow barbs

 

[Ham]

high flow + PTFE tape.

 

[llwyd]

And some jubilee clips!

 

[ai_01]

if everything is 1/2 ID, with 7/16 ID(5/8 OD) tubing u proboly wont need clamps, but its always good to have insurance, low profile zip ties will work aswell.

 

[kerochi]

check check and check.

One last check:

Black Ice GTX360

Perfect Seal G1/4 1/2" Fitting x 4

Hose clip 12-20mm tubing x 2

7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Masterkleer x 6

Cape Coolplex Pro Plexi 25 External Resevoir +

5mm LED Red Ultra Bright

Laing DDC Pump 12V Ultra No Connectors

(ThermoChill PA120.3 360mm Radiator +

3/8" BSP 1/2" Barb - Nickel x 2)

 

[ai_01]

looks like a kickin setup

 

[kerochi]

Thanks eveyone! You've all been awesome guys thanks for helping me out

it's taken me two days to come up with list. itll be interesting to how long it takes to set this up !! lol

 

[llwyd]

You need more hose clips and youre getting 6m of tubing? also i still see no blocks lol. Other than that, looking good

 

[kerochi]

oh yeah block for Quad core? how many more clips?

If I use two rads, will i need two separate pumps? And recommend best fans!!!
