Default BALISTX - Project Copperhead H2O
After some rest the project is started up again. This time I've decided to go water cooling. Even though I have not ordered the parts yet I have started with the modifications to the Coolermaster CM690 case.

I decided I'm going to top mount the rad on the inside of the case and have the fans on the top pulling the air through the rad.

Since there it is not possible to mount the fan under the mesh top of the CM690 I decided to remove the mesh (which cut my finger) and cut out the honeycomb design. You can see my idea from the pictures below.





The fans are not mounted they are just sitting in there showing my idea.

Thanks for the specs, why 750i man, you should have settled for a P35. No complaining sorry.. Good Luck with it, 3.8ghz should be fine for you, and 4.0ghz if temps permit..

He's going for SLI'ed 9600GTs - nVidia chipset is mandatory.

Yep I'm going SLI's with two 9600 GT's since I already have one I figured I can pick up a second one for cheap. Regarding the temps the E5200 doesn't run very hot and I think 4.0GHz should be achievable with water cooling. I'd be happy with 3.6GHz or 3.8GHz.
