Thanks again, Yep, Thermochill is a few bux more but that is not my biggest concern. The thermo pa vs the Danger Den Black Ice GTX Xtreme as to which is the better rad for lower rpm fans. As to exactly how the loop will be run I'll be experimenting with a number of different configs. The only thing I can say for sure is multi-pump, multi-rad, multi-block. Oh yeah, and it won't be cheap.

A single large rad is going to give better performance than two rads, regardless of their construction, like morla said. One large rad, say a 120.3, is going to function better with the highest possible delta-t at intake. Another rad in the loop is going to deprive it of this. If you have your heart set on two rads then okay, just try to go into the configuration with a decent understanding of the likely outcome. And yeah, TC rads are worth every penny. :thumbsup:

First, let me apologize if someone has already asked this question, I admit that I was lazy and didn't read all the preceeding pages. But being a non-native english speaker, I have to ask: What on earth is a barb??

very nice guide. I have a request for us nOObs though. It would be nice to have some flow diagrams. I have seen the pictures of your loop but I dont really know which end is up. Maybe start at the out nozzle of the pump and from here, im assuming it goes to cpu first. then from here to gpu. and then what if you have a chipset cooler. Can you have NB and SB? And where does the reservoir fall in this loop? Its difficult for me to get the flow from just the picture. Thnsk again for all your help
Edit: It looks like you have 2 pumps in your set up. Diagrams with optional parts would also be great. In this case for example if you wanted to add an extra pump you should put it here between here and here etc.
EDIT: recomendations are also nice. this cpu block is better than this block etc. This block is good but not really worth the money kind of thing. or this is the best block out there. Or rate each piece of the set up in a rank order.
Infact all the blocks minus the SWiftech MCW-6002 will give you extremely poor performance on a C2D or a Quad.

Does that mean I should stick to air for C2D? I couldnt even find the MCW-6002 on swiftechs site. is that the apogee GTX? Also does that this mean that the petra techs elite kit will not cool better than a good air system? Sry for all the questions...like I said Im a WC n00b

Would milli Q Reverse Osmosis water be good as well?
Also i hve acess to 200 proof EToH. Would that be good for cleaning?
