OK well it's all ordered now so:

Black Ice Extreme
120mm Evercool
Little River White Water (LRWW)
Maxi-Jet Res/pump combo
2m Tygon

This is to go in a Lian Li PC60 with the BIX/fan below the hard disk/floppy cage and in the airflow from the front 2x80mm Panaflo L1A. Evercool sucking the air through the BIX. I ordered a 120mm gasket to go between the BIX and the fan. The BIX may have to go on its side with the barbs sideways.

BIX going to the centre inlet of the LRWW the two outlets going to a Y and then to the Pump/Res in the lowest 5¼" bay then back to the BIX.

My worry is the head pressure from the Pump/Res as the LRWW is supposed to like pressure more than flow (see BillA's review at overclockers.com today) so would pump-block-rad be better or pump-rad-block?

Any suggestions/problems?

I've read very good things about the Little River White Water (LRWW) . For higher pressure probably better to go from pump/block/rad but experimenting is the only way to tell. Got any other blocks to compare with? Keep us informed...........goldie

pump-block-rad
I figure your heat removal will be more efficient that way, since the block has no way to adjust his heat extraction, the only variable you can work on is flow, hence pressure since the radius of the tubing is fixed.
Anybody?

but hey, what do I know! :D

Nice setup! Record a mp3 of the silence for me! Before and after. TIA

From what I have read ( no experience in this still looking ) I would have to go with pump, block, rad.

But then again it is a closed system and the pressure will be equal through out and the system will have been bleed so now I am :confused: damn it

Sorry

Whatever way suits you Mike. Personally, I'd go for pump > rad > block. This way, you will get the greatest temperature differential between water and block. There is no wrong way though :)
