Adding blocks?

[Fudd Rucker]

I have a thermaltake Prowater 850i, and it works spectacularly. My overclocking goal is very close, but my chipset cooling is holding me back. How would i go about adding an additional block to the loop? Im already planning on getting a dual 120mm radiator (like the 880i model which is identical to mine with the difference being the radiator).

i wouldn't, as you dont know if that super high quality thermaltake pump can take another block.

But if you want to try there are many blocks at ncix.com for your chipset.

i found the block i want already. Im just not sure how i incorporate it into my current setup and what would i need aside from a block and mosfet cooler (my current cooling is one unit that covers the 2).

I would say get a whole new system personally. You could add a block and just buy a bit of tubing. You'll see way more performance by getting a custom setup.

i plan on doing a whole custom unit 1 part at a time. This is my first water kit so far, so i figured it use it as a jumping point towards that and still have something to use. after i add the motherboard block i was looking at a bigger rad, then move on to a bigger pump and resevior.

from what i understand, most of these all in wonder kits are not very expandable. I am not 100% sure on this as i am doing my very first WC loop as well, but i pieced mine together custom, rather then going with a kit

I have gone the kit way (price was very good) and its yet to come lol. Im guessing as long as you have a flow indicator, double check the cooling numbers before and after you add the block into the loop, and see if you notice a difference. Changing out the pump is really easy too.

The package I got has a 400L/Hr which i think wont run my system (im adding 2 VGA full cover WB to the system and another rad) but i figured im going to do a few weeks of testing on it first before it finally gets powered on for the first time.

my pump pushes out 500L/h so thats pretty decent.This one was cheap to obtain, and my wife would neuter me if i went out and blew 200+ on a custom kit. So by getting it one piece at a time I can build it without her realizing the overall cost.

Yea i guess thats the nice thing about going with a kit. I think i am close to $700 now, and its just a CPU loop

Yes, but you have Porshe, not a Civic.... no disrespect to Honda owners.
