is this a good parts list to add to my current wc build? i want to keep my rad because it fits perfectly + preforms good.

I would suggest getting the swiftech res as I have used it in the past and it was awesome. Not only does it do it's job well but it looks great in a system if you have CCD's or other forms of lighting.

ide prefer something i dont have to look at and would be easier to mount so i put the other one as a comparison

would i have any loss from using this adapter:

to go from my 3/8'' from my rad to the rest of the loop? i cant change the tubing on the rad

What rad are you using? I recommend the swifty res btw.

If you're using a stock thermaltake radiator, I would really recommend you not. Being thermaltake, I wouldn't doubt that there is at least some aluminum in there. Either that or it's a condenser style rad that performs terribly.

i was looking at

but if i get that it wont let me close the door on my case because its too big

TnB= Gir

Why not mount it externally?

If you think about it, mounting externally can actually help temps a bit compared to being inside the case. It will be in the cooler ambient air, rather than inside the case with all the components.

And that is a good rad, but very overkill for a E8400. Are you planning on putting a GPU in the loop in the future?

That radiator is a monster. My friend has it and it cools his CPU and both his GPU's and it still has VERY low temps. He does mount it externally even though he has room in his case but that's because of what Gir said.

yeah im planning to add atleast a 4870x2 and a NB block

the rad is currently in the swinging door on my case, as in the part that moves when i pull it to access my optical drives

TnB= Gir

That rad will handle your cpu, a 4870x2 and a nb like a champ. Go for it

I'd recommend using a shroud and slapping some good 100+CFM 120x38 fans on there and you'll get really nice temps.

i dont know were to mount it, especially if i do that
the top of my case has the psu and hd cage (hd cage can be moved as its only housing the 1tb drive) and the front of the top area has my on/reset button panel + two dvd burners

what fans should i get if i did? i dont want to leave the rad in the door of my case useless...maybe a SB only loop or dual rad?
