First off, I have a couple of threads around, and on several I have mentioned my intent to POSSIBLY go liquid.
I have built many computers, but never messed with Liquid Cooling.
My concerns are:
1: As seen below I am running SLI, BUT do I really want to cool the GPU's? I have not found a reliable way to tell what they are running at.
2: I have always gone with name brand, Better if you can insult their name if something is wrong, and no one wants there name smudged. Brand reccomendations please.
3: I want to keep everything inside the case, I have plenty of room.
4: I have an opening for a 12 cm fan on rear, one 12 cm in the front also. Anyone heard of 2 radiators in one cooling loop? (overkill maybe)
5: I have 2 5.25 bays open, and would enjoy the option of OC'ing for trials, I do not think I would stay with it though.
6: Not overly concerned with price, the rig was expensive, and to try to go cheap now would probably bite me in the arse later.
7: GPU's in SLI on this MB have about 2.5 to 3 inches space between, so once again, space is abundant.
8: I am curious what people think of Temp sensors and where the best places are to put them. I would like a front panel that shows me the temps.
9: I prefer a CPU cooler that has some type of block behind the MB as I am bery unpleased with the mounting holes in the MB to hold the current heat sink in place.
10: For those that respond, thank you for your time and oppinions. They will all be considered, and when I make my move, I will place a new thread with the temps on various parts.
