Pump and Res

[Praetor]

Got me a Chenming 602 case ... currently debating between TEC+Water and VPC cooling for my box (A64-3800 Newcastle, 6800U, A8V DLX) ... also had a thought of something in the ballpark of modest $250USD watercooling setup.

1. No BigWater, Aquagate, Reserator. Am open to using off the shelf kits or starting with a kit and changing a few parts
2. A 3/8 system is preferred. 1/2 is acceptable. 1/4 isnt
3. Currently stuck on Panaflo TT CPU Block ... if theres another block out there thats significantly better within, say, $20USD pricerange let's hear it (the selling point was the rotating axis ). Personlly not a big fan of Swiftech/Koolance blocks (for no particular reason so its more of a mild dislike)
4. GPU and NB cooling isnt a requirement at this time
5. Rad must be 2x80 or 2x120 and must not be a bay-mount (unless there is a damn good reason)
6. Currently contemplating the pump/res featured here and thinking of bolting it to the back of the case by the psu but that would require (either literally, effectively or asthetically) for the res to be rotated 90º ... anyone know if thats doable? Comments appreciated (as well as reccomendation for a different pump)
7. No Thermaltake unless there is a damn good reason


At the end of the day the im looking for a rad and pump that i can use with my case given the unique drive mounting it features

This is the first time i've actually seen you post for assistance or ideas praetor!! Ah well, is there any reason apart from the slight decrease in temps that your going for a fan assisted radiator rather that a fanless version, im currently awaiting delivery of my Tt Rocket Fanless Water Cooling System and with that my system shall be near silent. The sound is the main reason i didnt go for one with fans.

1. Cromewell is on lunchbreak... literally
2. While it may be the 1st post you've seen its not the 1st ever

1. I'd like to keep a 40db+ environment. I want a BOX ... not a sissy sounding thing the only exception being if i went TEC/VPC
2. I dont have air-con

1. I dont like that cursed thing
2. Going for a "the machine is badass and you'll know it from down the street" effect (and for the price i paid ... it is)





Should prolly add another restricton: No thermaltake unless there is a damn good reason.

Nothing's wrong with Tt, the only thing is, they copy other company's product and they are not known to make performance WC hardware, one more thing is, Zalman is not one of the leaders in making WC hardware I think they are in the mid-level category.
