ok i wanna build a water cooling system,... but dont wanna spend money. so yes.. i want to "BUILD" it! .... from scratch. of course i will test it on a crappy comp etc. before i put it in my good system.
now a few things i wanna know is:
-for the cpu thermal block would running flexible copper tubing in the windings of the origional (or an oversized)
heatsink work?
-for my rad im planning on using one of those small heater rads from a car theyre about the size of a cd jewel case and the thickness of a vhs so i can make it fit in my case easily... any objections?
-for connecting the rad and thermal block im planning on using plastic surgical tubing.
-for the pump i am planning to use a 12v submersible that i will place in the resivoir what i need to know is, how much LPM (liters per minute) or how fast should i pump the coolant.
-how big should the resivoir be?
-and finnaly should i just use water? or should i mix in some kind of antifreeze for better heat transfer.
any feedback would be apreciated thanks.
also let me note that the reason i am doing this is not just cause im cheap but because i want the challange of the build.
***this is what im stumped on the most***
how shoule i make a cooling block for a hard drive?
i have no clue whatsoever on this
