So the following are part's I will be purchasing upon availability.
Silverstone Raven 1 + Case accessories for it. Corsair 800D or HAF 932 Will decide on the flip of a coin.
Motherboard (890FX) Once available
Phenom II x6
8GB's DDR3 Memory
Powersupply 750watt (Already have)
ATI 5770 (Already Have)
And I need a few new HD's but that's not of main concern.
Now I've been looking at a lot liquid cooling option's and reading a few review's I plan to get most of my items from frozencpu.com.
I've decided on the following item's so far:
Black Ice GT Stealth 240 Radiator - Black
Compression Fittings: is the ID / OD Inside Diameter , Outside Diameter?
Danger Den DD-CPX Pro 12V 3 Pin Powered Pump - 237 GPH (DD-CPX Pro)
Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme Performance CPU Waterblock
Swiftech MCW30 Chipset Water Block
1/2" Tubing + Anti-Kink Coils
With the layout of the raven, and not having it in my hand's I'm trying to decide exactly where to place the components. Mainly the pump and reservoir (Which I'm still deciding on, either a aluminum passive Link internal/external mounting, or a bay reservoir) Now the Rad should fit well enough on the back of the case, internally.
I've drawn out the loop to go as the following: Pump > CPU > Chipset > Radiator > Res
And If I were to add a video card into the loop, I would go with the followingump > CPU > Chipset > Rad > Video > Res
Now does the placement of the pump matter at all? It should pressurize the loop after you bleed it of all air bubbles. I'm guessing here, first time doing liquid cooling so I'm a bit lost.
Is 1/2" tubing to big? Should I downgrade to 1/4"?
Any opinions/changes let me know, I plan on making change's as I go, but I want to have a pretty good plan as to what the hell I'm doing. And once i get all my part's in, I will be doing a dry run for leaks, as I have heard WAY to many horror stories of people installing there setups and springing a leak...
