Beginer wc loop for my cpu

[Motopsychojdn]

Aah, your Pm said 8core, I thought you meant 81xx or 83xx, ok, so its back on plan for a kit then, have you been reading up on the W/c sticky and the Black edition one?
it'll help you get the best out of both

Amd 955 Black Edition

The Black edition overclocking guide is what I was referring to earlier, it will help you figure a few tricks out

hey im just asking this rad can it fit 1/4 fittings http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aluminum-Heat-Exchanger-Radiator-For-PC-CPU-CO2-Laser-Water-Cool-System-Computer-/120974391787?pt=AU_Components&hash=item1c2aa2b9eb and i found this pump and res combo http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_299&products_id=14352

That rad is for 3/8 tubing, no fittings required as they have barbs soldered directly on, but its aluminium, huge no-no in W/c, its will corrode your loop like crazy and we don't recommend any aluminium in W/c ever,
And that reservoir does not include the D5 pump, its designed for it but doesn't come with one, you have to buy that separately

How did I miss this Australian loop!?

Was about to mention PC Case Gear, though it seems you'v already found it. Far as I can tell, they are the best water-cooling suppliers in Australia. Have made several good purchases from them.
I advise if you don't know where to start, is to consider a pre-configured XSPC kit. Comes with everything you need for a CPU loop except Coolant (Distilled is $5 or so at your local Woolworths) and some anti-bacterial measure (kill-coil, $3.50 at PCCG).

Also I agree with Moto, you are going to want a rad larger than 120mm if you want to see any significant gains over the H60.

 

[skitz9417]

well i can only fit a 120mm rad on my case

 

[manofchalk]

My case can only fit one 360mm rad, yet very shortly I am going to have two of them.

Use the standoffs that comes with the XSPC kits to mount the rad off the back, which is what I'm doing and use a hole saw to drill some holes in the case to route your tubing.
Or go with Moto's option, drill some screw and tube routing holes and use the standoffs to mount the rad on top of the case rather than back.
From what info I can find on your case, there is already some tubing holes to support external rads, back near the PCI slots.

The size of your case doesn't have to limit what you can do with it.

My case only fits a 240 internally standard, but modded as it is with a roofbox inside, I have no room for rads inside so its one on the roof and two 360's in a radbox that the main rig sits on top of,
Like my sig says, half of Watercooling is modding to get your desired result

[skitz9417]

well im going for that 240mm kit and putting swiftech fans on the rad

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Good man, we'll help as much as we can with the finicking
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

so when i get the rad should i just buy 2 swiftech fans and put high cfm fans on the bottom ?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Match the fans Cfm but yes, that'll be fine
