For some reason it is easier for me to write in English
Probably because I left Germany 10 years ago
Anyway .. maybe someone here could help a n00b with his first water cooled system. I tried now to get help on so many forums, but I still have no idea what to do. So please bear with me
I did not buy ANYTHING just yet - I prefer to plan every thoroughly until I have killed every forum and search engine out there .. Costs time but saves money me thinks.
Here is my plan :
As case I want to buy the Cosmos-S - it is simply a stunning case .. this is the only bit which I KNOW I will buy either way.
I have currently a GeForce 8800 Ultra (768MB) and a Intel Quad Extreme QX9650 which I intend to watercool. In addition to that I am using 8 SAS disks. I didn't REALLY think about cooling the disks, but every watercooling solution for hard disks seem to deaden the sound as well .. with 8x15k RPM disks a rather pleasant thought.
What I came up with so far (apart from the case obviously) is
For the graphics card : "aquagraFX"
For the disks : aquadrive x4 - two of them
Pump : aquastream XT USB Ultra
CPU : cuplex XT di
Raid card (as discussed in another thread) : twinplex pro
Radiator : No idea - I know that some XSPC ones fit in the cosmos-S and someone mentioned that the airplex 360 fits too - but I am not sure.
Reservoir : I would prefer a drive bay one ..
The big question now is : "Does it fit" ... I mean I don't even know if the pump and radiator would be powerful enough to drive all that.
Another big question : Those X4 Aquadrives come with a reservoir as well .. so can you get the whole loop air free with like three reservoirs ?
Can you guys give me any other suggestions ?
