what pump and rad? - could use your help

[GrimReaper]

finally going water cooling :woot:

zeroed in on the on Dtek Fuzion block for the CPU. and MCW30 for chipset.

MCRES MICRO Reservoir

any other suggestions ?

I cant seem to decide between the MCP655 and the MCP355 for the pump



will be using 1/2" tubing

As for the Rad, here is where I am stuck again

HWlab Black Ice xtreme III triple 120mm ($66)

HWlab blackI Ice GTX240 dual 120mm ($95)

will be cooling the CPU and chipset for now.. Plan to add a GPU block later on.

anything else missing here? this will be my first water cooling so please frogive me for asking about everything

i sent u a pm, between those 2 pumps.

MCP355 w/top if ur not willing to shell out for top then the MCP355. If ur gonna get a dual GTX for that price get a thermochill, if u wanna spend less get the HWlab Black Ice xtreme III.

agree with above

DDC+top and Thermochill PA120.3 - with will take on more cooling if you feel like it

oh thanks for the reply guys:wavey:

is that xtreme III triple 120mm any good?

I got your pm thanks

In all honesty, if u want to crunch on performance get a thermochill, the HW xtreme III triple should be more than fine, its just if u want that 1-3 C lower. Again its all prefrence.

anyone else have a say? :wavey:

IMOH, if you are not on a budget, get the thermochill rad, have 2 DDC+ with tops in your loop.

from what i can see, you are planning to start slow and then later on going all out doing a bigger WC setup.

in that case, i'll get the rad and pump ready, then wont have to worry about if the extra 2 GFX blocks, NB, SB, Mofset can be cooled and or being push enough juice.

best to get the foundation done well than to redo everything later on
