I was intending to put the radiator on my system above the PSU (In a Lian Li PC 70) and put two fans in front of the radiator and two fans behind (or something to that affect).
I can't use the space where the intake fans are since I will need that for hard disks. Any opinons / suggestions on that Kenrippy (or someone)?
Thanks again
the two fans in front and two behind isn't good (even on air HSF) as one fan will end up blowing faster then it's specs, and die out much sooner (let alone a waste of money)

I actually wondered about something to that effect and then thought nawwww. (Where's rolleyes when you need it!).
In that case is it better to have the fans in front or behind the radiator? Given the location of the radiator as mentioned earlier.
Keep the advice coming

from what I've gathered from all the helpfull people here, you can have one on each side, just not two on each side
|fan||fan||rad||fan||fan| = no no
|fan||rad||fan| = good
|fan||rad| OR |rad||fan| = so so

something just occurred to me. Ok, so here it is, does the pump require a separate PSU? Or does it use the PC's PSU? Or is it a totally different ac adapter? (maybe a wall outlet?)

here's the deal with that....the pump (most of them) run on 110v AC. most people just make a small hole to run the pump cord out the back of their case. then have it plugged into a power strip along w/ the pc so that when you power down your pc you flip the switch on the power strip also to kill the pump. then the only way to turn on the pc is to turn the power strip on first. which will start the pump (fail safe method)
the other way (for the lazy people like me) is to use one of these:
pump relay switch kit you just cut the power cord from the pump and wire it into the relay and run a wire off your psu molex 12v to trigger the pump when you turn on the pc and shut it off. the relay switch kit also comes w/ a power cord that you plug into the wall to give the pump power.
the case will look like this when the kit is used:
or to answer your question more directly....yeah a wall outlet

remember me?
I believe it has its own ac adapter that plugs into the wall.

Ok, thanks.
Also, if I get that relay thing, I would be able to power up the water cooling setup with the spacebar? (if I set it up so the PC starts up upon that too) If so, I think that'll be the way I'm going

Does anyone know of any radiators that would fit the 5/16" tubes on the AWC-1? Would it matter on such a low end water pump?
