all parts that work on the inside will work on the outside....May need to extend a 12V line for the pump. There are also pumps that run off of a wall sockets 110V.

Other than that its just a matter of creativity and a couple holes in the case to get the tubing in and out to/from the CPU.

Do you have a 120 fan on the back of your case?

Yeah, If you have a 120mm fan on the back or even a 92mm fan you should get a CoolIT Freezone or Eliminator

he shold still get a custom job/

A 120GTX rad would fit nicely there, along with the pump on the bottom and a res in his bay.

What water does is let you take more voltage. Your temps will always be around what the best air can do, but when you start doing the 1.5v 1.6v you will see the real difference.

I would suggest you look in the club section for the watercooling thread. A lot of help can be found there.


Just to let you know 3/8 lines will run through the PCI slots on your case.

That swiftech is an awesome starter kit and will serve you well. I was personally running a Koolance Exos unit and it was awesome, simply awesome. I bought the koolance liquid cooling solution too (which is more or less antifreeze to me with some distillents in it). That was awesome. It had a pass through on the back of the case, replete with its own slot cover with bypass springs. Ran those in and also had the power to it running from the cover board as well. Slipped it into a 12v line and voila. Turned on with the system and off with the system. If not for a slight leak due to the lack of a clamping barb, Id still be using it.
