| Friend wants to try watercooling, needs to know if it'll fit.
Alright so here's the deal,
My friend wants to try out watercooling.
He's a really fast learner, and I told him I'd help him out.
The only problem is, is that he has an Antec P160W Case and it only has 1 rear and 1 front fan, therefore pretty much leaving him with the only option of putting the rad at the back or front.
What he wants to cool is his CPU and GFX card, and I thought that on a 1 fan rad it would be possible.
Just want some help before we go through with this. |

What CPU & GPU is he running and how far are they overclocked?
I have the SwiftTech Apex Ultra H2O-220 kit & have been very happy with it. My e6600 runs about 52C at 3.6GHz under a full load (Orthos Small FFT priority 9). I've modified the kit from it's original installation. Everything but the CPU block are outside my case in a bucket. |

I'm gonna throw out a couple of ideas.
Maybe something like this would suit your friends needs. Plus it's not to much of a eye sore. Of course, you gotta have open 5.25 bays..
And for the VGA card, this would be easy to setup..
What kind of budget are you working with? |
