Loading ...Air Cooled Akasa to Water Cooled Akasa

After considerable deliberation and research, I have finally decided to give water cooling a shot.
Many thanks to WaterCoolingUK for their helpful forums, and thanks in particular to Marcus for phoning me to clear up my last few little queries.
I really didn’t want to have to resort to an external rad, and although others have been able to install 120.3 rads in Eclipse cases I figured out it wouldn’t really work for me.
So, I decided that I would mount a 120.2 rad in the top compartment of the Eclipse and a 120.1 rad inside on the front inlet.
Here is a quick sketch-up of how I plan to install my loop.
And this is a flow diagram.
I decided to go for a Laing DDC pump with an XSPC top and reservoir combined.
This simplifies my loop by removing a pipe run to a seperate reservoir.
My package is due to arrive at some point today, will post up some piccies of all the goodies as and when it turns up.
Which make of Rad are you using? I wouldn’t go for anything other than Thermochill or Black Ice.
Go have a chat to the guys at coolercases.co.uk as well, their very helpful and very good.
Thermochill Rads.
All my bits were sorted through another bunch of helpful guys at WaterCoolingUK.
Had a nice big parcel arrive for me at work today in fact.
