First watercooling setup

Sonntag, 1. September 2013, 21:52

Hello there,

I'm planning to buy an Aquaero 6 XT as soon as it's out, alongside with a new Cooler Master Cosmos II case.
I'd like to set it up for watercooling (my first ever), but I don't really get where I would put a pump. It seems that I can put the rad under the top cover, but no idea for the pump. Top disk cage can be removed, but it feels like it's still not enough space for pump and reservoir.
After some browsing, I was thinking about this pump with this reservoir attached to it. Here's a drawing (I've got all my drawing skills going on that one) on how I could imagine it being laid out, but it really feels a little tight for the pump and its reservoir, as the GPU is a little long.

Would it fit ? (the case is 66cm long)

Thanks.

The aquastream pump is a bit much for your system.

Just to clarify, what is are you looking to watercool. If you are looking to cool a CPU and GPU with 1 or 2 rads you could get away with the D5 pump and aqualis res. The aquastream is a bit much (i think) for the application you are speaking of. The D5 or DDC pump options are a much smaller size package size and will work for your application (basic loop and cooling requirements are assumed). Plus this also would put the res and pump together and eliminate some of the issues you where speaking of regarding placement. Again I just made some assumptions regarding your requirements, but if you are running a couple rads and cooling a CPU and GPU then the D5 or DDC options will work.

My 2 cents.

Thanks for your answer. That is looking good, however I'm interested in having in/out water temperature too, and the aquastream did that, what should I buy for this ?

You could use these on the rad input/output. Inline temp sensors that will connect directly to the Aquaero.

Looks great, thanks for your answers. Now to wait for the Aquaero 6 to be out.
