Stonerboy779 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 UV LEDs and UV CCFLs Have you considered the RX rads instead of RS but anyway looks like you have everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I have not done water cooling for a few years and last time I had a set up I was running Black Ice rads in my system. Was nto sure to go with this time around. If I am not happy with the performance of what I have chosen I will just set down and re order some replacement stuff.

Boinker Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Looks like everything is good to go. The two radiators you have may be hard pressed to cool the two video cards and the processor but we will find out soon enough. What kind of case is this going in.

aspevacek Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) It is all housed in a HAF 922. Plenty of room and everything is wide open. I am very picky on how my wiring looks so everything is tied off to have the least amount visible. this is my Flikr http://www.flickr.com/photos/66488091@N06/ it shows my PC currently an dsome nice pics if you are into lifted trucks. I just recently swapped out my skyjacker Class2 for a James Duff Stage 3 lift. I am basically going to set the system up as a dual loop off 1 pump and resivor. I will run the i7 through the 120 single and the 2 graphics cards through the 2X120 rad. That is how I have always set up my loops in th epast but like i have said its been a few years since i did any water cooling.

Boinker Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Is it a 1366 i7 or is it a 1156 or 1155 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 It is a i7 2600K socket 1155 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 OK. The only thing I'm worried about is if the radiators are OK to do That. Now my socket 1366 can't be cooled well by a single radiator as the water temp gets to high but maybe the 2600k will do fine with a single radiator. Just for that matter I have hooked an h50 to my i7 and 4.0 ghz was barely obtainable. With a full custom setup I need a dual, triple is much better, to get to 4.2ghz and not run Into temp issues with past testing. Just that's my abnormally hot running i7... LOL I think the heatspreading has bad contact. I'm not even going to get into the gpu part as I can't find anymore 480 blocks that I would use. Let us know how the system does with the setup. I'd be curious to see if mine would do alright with a single 140 radiator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Well the stuff has shipped and I paid for over night express shipping so it should all be here by 1030AM tommorow. I am unemployed currently so have nothing but time to get it up and running in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Well with a shared reservoir the heat load will be evenly distributed between the two radiators so I'm not sure the numbers will help you much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 NIce truck. I want one simalar just with an Extended cab. I have a Nissan Frontier But 4x4 hardware is not easy or cheap to come by.... But if I drive cross the boarder into your turf then maybe so... Maybe same story? Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Well I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to install the DD 590 blocks to go back to the stock coolers in the end. I appears around the VR pads the block should be machined more and it is not making contact with my VR. So I pu tthe machine to gether with just 1 card and stock cooling until I can get with danger den on monday or my shipment from Frozen CPU comes in with the other branded blocks I ordered. Either way I will get this WC setup going in my machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
