Just redid the loop in my Cosmos S. Added a PA120.1 and switched to an Apogee GTZ from a GT.

Looks Great, And lots of room in that case for all kinds of goodies!

just a couple of quick questions for you

why only a 750 watt psu?

and what did it look like before you redid it over?? :?:

No need for anything above a 750W unless a person is running dual X2 cards. (No need for anything above a good 620W for a single gpu) :)

Here's the initial internal 320 loop...

The big push for this one was to fit the lower rad, move the pump to the back wall, add a second fan up front, and locate the res top/center.

(The whole build can be found here...... http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/ca ... mos-s.html )

What PSU were you running?

But yeah... if I were going to run 2 X2 cards I'd be looking for a good 1000W (or bigger) PSU.

It's not always needed, but I don't like to push my PSUs more than 60 - 70% of their continuous rated specs. PSU quality has come a long way in the last year or two, but IMO, even the highest quality PSU will start doing funky stuff if you push them beyond that with any regularity.

i am running a 750watt ocz and i just dont want to mess anything up especially the cards i dont want to be replacing them anytime soon
thats why i took one card out to try and take a load off of the psu i just wish i had one now or so one that had one 1000 watts of larger i would buy it really fast

Thank you sir. :)

I'm quite happy with the way it turned out, however ambient temps are crazy high in my basement right now so I'm not really seeing any benefit to the upgrade. :)
