TJ07 and watercooling

[juggalomike]

Alright so i have finealy received all my parts except for my CPU(still on the way), my case is going to be a TJ07 and i am using watercooling as i plan to overclock my CPU and videocard. I am thinking mounting my radiator ontop of my case is my best choice but i am not so sure where to put my resovoir? I got the swiftech MCRES-Micro for my resovoir

I'm not sure of the layout of the TJ07 but check my sig to see where I put the MCRES in my P180...I know it's not too pretty but it works well enough. Also, I'm not 100% sure on this but IIRC you should keep the res near the top of the loop.

thanks alot, that should actualy fit into my tower that way, the only thing im wondering is, you dont have it bolted down or screwed into anything, is that a good idea? because if it wont hurt to leave it free rather then screw it intot he side wall ill do that

Most standard way of mounting a rad on a TJ07, also what i did was use the entire lower section of the case. Have the rad sideways so it pulls air from the side though the vent at the bottom, and expells it sideways.

Then you need to buy a drivebay so you can have hard drives. The reason why i dont like top mounting is because bleeding can be a PITA if your barbs are pointing down. Infact quite a few members came to me with problems because they thought there system was bleed fully.

check out the third post. His arragement is pretty much the standard mounting style for the TJ-07

what a beautiful setup that is. wow.

dual rad for cpu, triple rad for VGAs, dual res, different color coolant, hidden pumps.

once you pop the lid on that, I can just imagine how magnificent it looks.

I have a PA 120.3 mounted in the bottom of my TJ07, works great!

I just used velcro to hold the rad in place (didn't want to drill holes), since the setup doesn't get moved much.

Yeah it's not 100% secure but I have the pump and res velcroed. It doesn't move around and I can swing out the res any time I need to top it up.

the PA120.3 + water is VERY HEAVY so it wont move around much unless you shake your case.

If you use velcro, it only anchors it more, so it wont move at all. I used to use velcro in my ARMOR when i front mounted the radiator.
