Cosmo S (Designed for water cooling, but may switch to the original cosmo)
750TX (more power)
P5E-Deluxe
E8400 (Read a review where it was overclocked to 4.4ghz........want to give it a try)
TWIN2X2048-6400C4
WD1601ABYS
WD5000AAKS
WriteMaster SH-S203B
EAH4850 ( 1 of 2 for crossfire power)
EAH4850 ( 2 of 2 for crossfire power)
VG2230wm
H20-Compact
MCR 320-QP
S-Flex SFF21E (for radiator)
Also will be getting VGA water blocks due to 4850's running hot, even though everyone is reporting that the Asus model comes with software that controls the stock fan and once adjusted by this software the heat no longer becomes an issue.
I really need all the expertise anyone has on this issue.......what is the best water cooling setup for this sytem? I want to explore both options of water cooling, being thermoelectric or just standard water cooling.
First off, its for gaming...nuff said....I've been researching for the last 4 days and I just can't seem to find the answers I'm lookinf for.....The Cosmo can have a total of 6 fans mounted on the top...alternatively you can mount up to a 3x120mm radiator on the top internally....
1) So, when I mount the radiator internally, the fans attached the radiator...what direction is the air coming from? Do those fans pull air from outside into the radiator to help cool the hot air being pushed back into the case. Or do the fans push the air out of the case?
2) If I used all 6 fans (3 external over top of the vents that cover the radiator and the 3 attached to the radiator) What direction is the air flow being carried or whats the best way for the air flow to be carried?
3) 4850s....we've all read the various reviews and while the are cheap powerhouses, they run very hot. I'm going crossfire and want to run VGA coolers on them.....But, whats the best setup for this? pump - cpu - rad (1) - vga coolers - rad (2)? Also, how do I keep from bring heat from vga cooler 1 to vga cooler 2? Do I introduce a radiator inbetween the 2 coolers? or do I split them off coming from rad (1) and combine them back when going into rad (2)? And again what direction is the air coming from to provide maximum performance for the radiator?
Thanks in advance to everyone who can help!
