So how's the temp dexjac? 4.5Ghz possible?

Yup, I have those plastic 1/2" elbows for RM5 each


Oh my goodness, look at this super rig Dex, you're just a talented modder and water cooling expert


I think he's trying to do 4.75Ghz now? LOL

got pic ma?

nice setup, but i think u can mount ur mcr220qp better... hint, use only 2 screws holes of the higher 120mm fan blowhole near drivebay and screw it onto ur mcr220qp, then it wont look senget anymore, anyway nice setup u got there...

clawhammer making wc convenient and easy at lyn..

Thanks Mr. Tan I'm glad that we have so many water cooling lovers here just like us too

o.O..
my beautiful rad...

For those of you who are using the Scythe Slipstream fans, I would recommend to undervolt them at 5V.

I am using the 1600 RPM ones (high) and once hooked up to the rad they were quite noisy. It is actually no the fan itself which is noisy, but because they are pushing lot of CFM, the air through the rad is doing quite some noise. Somemore, with my tj-07, once I closed the case, the grill at the bottom was also adding some noise as the fan are closed to it and again because of the turbulence created.

I am not a silence freak, but the noise was quite loud. Not a problem when gaming, but when just browsing, I don't need that much cooling and that much noise.

So I have undervolted them to 5V (just use a fan header to molex adapter and hook the + of the fan to the 5V of the molex instead of 12V).
Now they are running a 1050 RPM @ 5V and they are a lot (and I mean A LOT) quieter.

I was a bit worry that the temp would be a lot higher (although max CPU@57*c and max GPU@50+*C I had some room to spare). But the temp have actually barely changed. There is max +1*C on the CPU when running P95, and 1-2*C on the GPU when running ATI tool

Below is some 40min running P95 and ATI tool together for maximum heat generated (I have GPU + CPU on the same loop), rad fans at 5V / 1050 RPM.



Very acceptable temperatures versus noise level which is like 10 times better than before. Now, the most noisy component in my rig during gamin are the GC caps which whistle during high load

I have also started to see what it would take to get to 3.6GHz from 3.2GHz. My CPU is a dude, I need to pump 1.54V idle / 1.49V load (CPU-z readings) to pass 30 min OCCT stress test

But even with the fan at 5V the temps are still acceptable at max 70*C (that's the max I am willing to go anyways). But I am not sure whether I will leave run it at this voltage as this doesn't really change anything in everyday use and everything is running much hotter (including my room ).

Now I am thinking to solder a switch to have the possibility to switch the fans from 5V to 12V when gaming. But I am not sure it is very good for the PSU

btw, really recommended and responsible seller

bro,
thx for the deal last nite..nice to have a chat with u..will contact u again if i need anything..
thanx..

Bro, your WC can support GTX275 GPU?

claw bro, the RM870 package. was it a price drop or u changed something in the package to a cheaper one?

Hurray! taiko metsatsu is looking for wc finally
Claw, pls offer him bestest price as I wanna see how far his D0ggy can go.

I hate u guys. U guys keep poisoning me.... bcoz of u guys, i'm getting tempted. Trying as hard as i can to resist. I hate WC guys...

Just collect my wc set from clamhammer he really help me a lot not just for wc he help me built up my rig also I will join the wc club soon when i built up my wc
Best Seller Award to him

Great tips Martin and yes, it's considered noisy to some people and for myself, I normally go for low cfm/quiet fans

Thanks Kenny and I'm glad you liked it. Time to get water cooling now

Wow Victor, your rig looks uber now and the next upgrade should be compression fittings, haha.

Thanks for your steak and teh tarik. Next time would be my turn to spend and I hope you'll like that radiator Kalo nak tolak esok bagi 50% diskaun kat saya, lol.

Yes, there are full WB that supports the GTX 275. Alternatively, you can go for MCW-60R

dude, how much for water cooling i5 and 4870. thanks!

Which motherboard are you using?
