I'm looking into watercooling. Probably won't be buying for a couple months but it's good to get a start on it. I'll be cooling an i5 750, and two 5850s in an Antec 902.
The plan:
-Primochill Typhoon Split Window Single Bay Single Loop Delrin Reservoir with Front Window - Blue ($100) mounted in my top 5.25" bay into a
-Swiftech MCP655 12V Industrial Water Cooling Pump 1/2IN Barbs ($80) mounted in middle bay.
-Swiftech APOGEE XT LGA1366 CPU Water Block G1/4 Chrome HI-FLOW 1/2IN Eurostyle Barb Fittings ($70). The output will then split into two 1/4" lines for
-Two Ek Water Blocks EK-FC 5850 Nickel Plated Full Cover Radeon HD 5850 GPU Block G1/4 ($240). Output lines will reconnect into 1/2" and travel outside the rear of the case (only 2 holes) and up top where it will split again into 1/4" lines for the
-Two Swiftech MCR320-QP Quiet Power radiator 1/4" ($102). Lines will reconnect into 1/2" and return into case and over to resevoir
-Tubing: Primochill Primoflex Pro LRT UV Red 1/2IN ID 3/4IN OD Tubing (10 Feet) ($17)
-Fittings: Not sure, will need at least 4 1/2" to 1/4" Y connectors
-Fans: Scythe S-Flex ($90 for 6) or maybe Gentle Typhoon or Slip Stream Slim
I'm wondering where I might be able to save some cash, as the total here is $699 plus fittings. A little pricey... If the MCR220 rads will be sufficient then I can save some cash (and possibly mount inside the case, but not a big deal)
Other than that, any suggestions on maybe an alternate set up or something would be nice.
I'm in Canada so I priced this out between Newegg.ca and NCIX.com.
