So, now, as i have been having far, far too much time to think about my summer project, im starting to lean towards watercooling it. Now, i have never done any watercooling, and know nothing about it, so im coming to the experts. I read all the how to guides online, but i want some answers that are kind of opinion based. I need to know, who makes a good pump that will last, but is inexpensive, same for water blocks (for am3 cpu, 5770 gpu), rads (the idea i have in my head is to use 2 seprate rads that are 120 mm each, so 1 on top one on bottom mounted in the 5.25 bays, and one on the bottom by the 120 mm fan, if i do that do i need 2 pumps? i want to have 1 res, that i will be custom making so it fits under the top panel of my case, how do i stop the rez from leaking, just silicone caulk? do i have to shut down every night? here is a pic of what im thinking of,
Blue Rect = res
Red Circles = heat sinks, gpu and cpu
Green rect = pump
Black rect = rad (there will be a dvd drive between the 2 rads)
red line is hot, blue is cool
