Crazy Watercooling Ideas!

[theorignalAMD Overclocker]

So ill start off my saying that I have massive plans! I am having one of my friends make a metal water/pump enclosure that is 12"x6"x4" (LxDxH). It will fit in the bottem of my case below my motherboard. Here is what I want watercooled:

2 x Xeons @ 3.2+
6800GT

Here is what stuff ill have to do that:

Some pond pump that probally does 250-300gal/hr
L30 pump (300gal/hr)
2 x heatercore (good one)
2 x MCW6000 (xeon block)
some gpu block

So my plan is to use the L30 pump to do this:

pump -> radiator 1 -> cpu -> radiator 2 -> cpu2 -> (container)

Then have the second pump in the same container using the same water do this:

pump2 -> gpu -> (container)

There will probally be close to 1.5Gal of water in the system so you think that one pump will cycle out the water and cool it down? Another way of doing this? I have plenty of space so any ideals would probally work.

I would definatly think of getttin another readiator for hte gpu. you can test the ambient water temps coming back to you container to see if they are cool enough to adeqetly cool your gpu but I really doubt it. Other than that it looks good to me.

Only thing I can think of to get some really heavy duty performance out of this is to get a really small liek dorrm fridge, steal the compressor out of it, and then re-build it into something to put under the case and run some thin copper piping through your water container to get the water really really really cold. The pro is that your water will be nearly frozen cold, the con is that you will then need to insulate the whole system to prevent condensation.

looks sweet but there is 1 pump for 2 cpus and 2 radiators and then another similarly powered pump for just the gpu. the first will have way worse waterflow while the 6800 will have great waterflow. i don't know how much heat the 6800 makes, lets assume the same ass the cpus. you might want to get another heatercore and put it before the gpu to even out flow rates and keep the res water cool. cause with that setup it looks like the gpu will have a ton of warm water flowing past it, probly better to have less cool water.

well right now, with one cpu and one ratiator my water temps are only 82'F under full load. That is also with 1/3 of the water that the final system will be having.
