I recently got a EK graphics water block (EK FC88 G92) for my evga 8800gts 512. I was looking to watercool the thing but already have a 3D Galaxy 2 kit installed in the Gigabyte 3d aurora 570 case. I would have just hooked up the waterblock to the orignal loop but the block from what I have heard is restrictive and the pump is rated at 400 l/ph so I was going to use a XSPC 750 Reservoir + Pump (http://www.watercoolingshop.co.uk/store/p27-pumps/X2O-750-Dual-5.25-Bay-Reservoir-Pump.cfm) mount it at the front and install a slim magicool rad or fat pa120.2 on top of the 2 120mm exhaust fans so internally depends really on space. It maybe overkill for just gpu but I was planning to add a northbridge block and a second gpu at christmas (ill have the money). I wanted to stick with 1/2" tubing but don't mind im basically going to try and haved the same colour scheme as the galaxy 2 kit.
So really my questions are is the pump/reservoir combo any good? Any other way to mount the radiator or is even possible to mount it on those dual exhaust fans (directed more to owners of the case.)? Any other ideas I have not thought of I am willing to mod if necessary?
System Specs:
Cpu: Q6600
Mobo: Evga 780i A1
Ram: OCZ Reaper PC 8500 4gb
Gpu: Evga 8800gts 512mb (g92)
Harddrive: 36gb Raptor, 250gb and 1tb 7200rpm storage
PSU: Xigmatek NRP 750
Case: Gigabyte Aurora 570 (Black)
5 5.25" bays top 2 used, space for 3 maybe 4 as fan controller can be relocated.
Cooling: Gigabyte 3D Galaxy 2 Kit
Any help appreciated =]
