good pump, but toss the rad for a swiftech mcr or XSPC RX series rad IMO.

no need for the feser uv one coolant, just get the dye and use distilled water and a biocide. i like pt nuke or some silver kill coils.

also where is the water block? if thats for a cpu only loop and you want to do some heavy overclocks you will be best with a triple rad, not double 120mm.

and if you add the gpu to the mix then i would go with a quad or 2 double rads.

Triple rad a must... I started with a triple for i7 / chipset, when I add the GPU to the loop I'll be adding another single or double depending on deals at the time...

Good idea about mixing your own coolant; for me it was cheaper to go with Feser1.

Opps I forgot to put that on the description. My bad I will be using the Danger Den MC-TDX for Intel I7/Nehalem/1366 - 59.95

To start out I was thinking of just cooling the CPU and the North bridge on the Bloodrage. Could you recommend a good loop for that? Also I think my case can only fit a double rad so I would have to do 2 if I end up doing the GPU in the future which I will probably do.

Ya well I wasn't sure how dark the Feser 1 UV coolent was because it looked a bit pink in some pictures. SO I was thinking about putting that in the loop and adding a couple of drops of the UV Dye to make it a richer red? Yes/No can anyone comment on this? will this work? LOL

Any loop suggestions?

Colbize · 07-06-09

So I got my i7 Proc and Windows Ultimate x64 with 7 upgrade.

Watercooling components and case are ordered and should arrive soon! Apparently on the dangerden waterbox you can get custom graphics. So I got one of my favourite pictures and characters engraved on the casing Hopefully it turns out good!

Oh also I ordered a inverted t-virus res from Frozen-q and will be waiting patiently for that bad boy as well. I ordered a black one with red UV lighting. Probably will look something like this!

Now I just need to wait till the 15th then I'll order my newegg stuff to complete the build. sooo pumped! Once I start the build I'll post some pics of the build progress!

Custom Graphics:

Colbize · 07-08-09

Saweeet. The danger den lady sent me pictures of the engraving for approval and now I just need to wait for the case to arrive in the mail.

Attached are the two shots of the Spawn engravings that I had on the case. The character is called Sir John of York. So far it looks really good for it being an engraving will probably better with some lighting.

nice bro. very nice...

Colbize · 07-08-09

So this is what I was thinking for my loop. Any suggestions? I'll have to do the GPU when I get another job.
