Watercooling Cosmos

srdb20

Hi Lads,

Im planning on watercooling my Cosmos case, ive been looking through all the threads and have a good idea of the components needed, tubing, pump, res, rad, blocks, anything else???? (Feel free to post any components you think would be worth a mention).

I was just wondering if anyone has used this case for watercooling before and if so what layout would be the best?

A couple of questions,

Do i need a 120.3 rad or would i be able to use a 120.2 rad?

How many loops are needed to effectively cool, QX6700 O.C @2.99, 8800GTX, NB, SB, Mosfets. (too much for a first time watercooling?)

Is it worth putting the NB, SB and Mosfets into a Watercooling loop?

When buying all the components, is there a one stop shop, or buy from severl e-tailers?

If you want to do this properly you will be looking at dual loops. A 120.3 for the GFX and SB, you might get away with a 120.2 for the rest but id go with 120.3 to be safe.

I would also reccomend you sign up for a forum called extremesystems, you can get some really good advice and tips there.

i'm not sure if you'd fit a triple into the cosmos maybe have a look at this, it's a buid log for a cosmos
