    Re: Watercooling solution advice needed - please help...

    ok, I think I'm just about there and am compiling a shopping list...

    1 x TFC Xchanger 480 Radiator
    1 x TFC Xchanger 360 Radiator

    2 x EK-FC9800 GX2 SLI - Plexi
    1 x XSPC Delta V3

    2 x XSPC Laing DDC-Pump 12V Ultra(18w) Acrylic Reservoir

    lots x XSPC 1/2" Clear Tubing
    2 x TFC G1/4" - 1/2"ID 3/4"OD 45 Degree Rotary Compression connection
    10 x TFC G1/4" - 1/2"ID 3/4"OD High Flow Compression connection
    1 x TFC G1/4" Thread SLI Connector

    1 x Feser One F1 UV Blue Fluid (for Loop1)
    1 x Feser One F1 UV Red Fluid (for Loop2)
    2 x Feser VS.c Heat Carrier Fluid (unsure about the need for this)

    1 x Sunbeam Wherever PCI Rack (to fix 480 rad to outer case?)
    4 x Thermaltake A2329 Silent Cat fan (62CFM@16dB, £4ea.)
    1 x UN Pump Bracket
    1 x inline Multi Power Fan Port
    2 x Hose Grommet (3/4" OD Hose)
    1 x ATX PSU Bridging Tool 24 pin

    Do you think it prudent to incorporate a flow indicator? I don't think I'll need a temp monitor within the loops as I'll be able to monitor core temps via software.

    Any obvious errors or ommissions?

    Thanks again guys...

    SLi connector can be scrapped for a bit of tubing in between, unless you really want one.
    Don't need Feser Heat Carrier fluid.
    Those Thermaltake fans wont do 62cfm at 16dB but most likely 16dB is the quietest it will be on it's lowest.
    Got a link for the Sunbeam wherever rack thingy?

    awesome...

    I was curious about the SLI connector, will stick with tubing.

    I'll look around for some silent fans... will also pick up a grill for the outside of the 480 rad...

    the pci thingie I found in passing at http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-wherever-pci-rack.html
    not sure if there is a UK reseller, will look when I start shopping for pricings

    Am pondering how to support or attach the 480 rad externally and thought that might be handy, will have to have serious onder on this problem. Does it matter if the in/out connections are at the bottom or top if the rad is vertical?

    No it doesn't just that you will need longer tubing to bend outside to the barbs or just use 90 degree fittings.

    I see the Sunbeam thing but what's it for?

    I thought about using it somehow to attach the 480 rad to the outside of the case, at the moment I'm kinda stumped on this point...

    Radbox http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/...cat=543&page=1 or just screws with spacers http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/...cat=543&page=1 is all you need to secure the rad to the back of the case.
