I have a SP35P2, and I want to water cool it. I want to know if there are parts (reservoir, pump, radiator) that will all fit inside my case. I also want to know what water blocks to use for the CPU and the chipset.
Also, can I water cool my RAM too?
System Specs:
Shuttle SP35P2 (v2)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300
Nvidia 9800GT

Well, I guess I could mount the radiator externally >.>
I'm willing to spend like $300. I want to do this, because my GPU gets like no air flow (the fan is like right on the PSU's cables), and I because I OC'd my FSB to 400MHz (to crank my Q9300 to 3GHz).

Don't think the CPU-Block will fit without modding. In my post for watercooling my sn25p you can see that the Koolance CPU-340 with all the Mountingholes is just too small.
For the north/southbridge you have too see how they are mounted (hooks or pushpins).

assaid, the cpu block more than likely will not fit. from experience with older P models, the mountig is an elongated S775 setup, koolance blocks come with adjustable mounting brackets which can be easily modified to fit.
watercooling the cpu, gpu and nb and possbily ram, well you're going to need at least a 120.2 radiator for that, not really possbile in a shuttle.
I think the most you would be able to install would be a 120mm radiator and an 80.2 possibly, although you could maybe get away with a 120.2 across the top if you forego all your drive space.
I personally see it as the moment you have to mount your watercooling externally, well you really shuold have just bought a different case, it defies the reasons for you makeing do with the setbacks and limitations of the shuttle in the first place. it no longer becomes that sleek portable box.

I like modding. I am an engineer. I modded extra fans onto my 360 case, so modding is no problem. I am following this thread: http://www.sudhian.com/index.php?/forums/viewthread/105678/I guess I could mount the radiator externally, I don't really ever plan on moving my computer anyway. Thanks guys. |

if it's not to be moved, then as always i have to wonder why on earth you are using a shuttle. you compromise on nearly everything in order to have the smaller size. there are any number of small boxes out there which will offer you tower cooling on your cpu and airflow to the rest. i personally think a simple case change would cause better temperatures than watercooling a shuttle would offer.

I bought the SP35P2 like 2 years ago, and I used to go a lot of LAN parties. The Shuttle was super-easy to take to LANs. Now, I don't go to that many LANs much, and my CPU is OC'd, so I wanted to water cool it. There is no real reason, other than because I can.

Hi there
You seem to be hellbent on water cooling your shuttle, as you have probably found out space is at a premium, to water cool the cpu the easiest solution would be to mod a corsair H50 system, or install your own components to mimic the corsair setup, there is just enough space above the psu to install the rad, just make sure your optical drive is one of the shorter ones, as for water cooling all the components I doubt you could fit a rad large enough to do the job.
