Woow...if just order 1 fan, using USPS Express, the shipping alone is USD33.78...

There are a few forumers selling the kit. Forgot their names. You can try search the sales section.

irienaoki, that PC you found, exactly as in the picture? If it's, then no need to alter anything lah. It's already one hell of a setup/design.

ngteeyong, here is the list:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Sear...e=water+cooling Or, if you are really interested in this particular hobby, then I'd suggest you to read through this thread, at least the last 100 pages of it. I'm sure you will find lots of useful information, such as what items you need to have to start the project, how to run the loop, how to bleed air in the loop, what liquid to use...and bla bla bla. Because that's what I did, and I only started it since mid April. Basically, still a noob I'm.

Regarding how much you need to start of with, it all depends on what kind of setup you want. The cheaper cooling kit will probably cost you few hundred RM if not mistaken, but you won't have much headroom in the future if you want to expand the loop. Means you will gonna buy the whole new thing again. Custom loop will cost you a little bit more in the start, but you get to pick every single part that you want/need, and they can be easily expanded in the future.

Cheers!

Nice block you have there, sam. I guess all the EK GPU blocks weight about the same... Yea, just like what owikh84 said, screw it on. I put two screws on mine. Firm and steady.

You mean the box is in its original shape? Well, while there are lots of cases made specially for water cooling, I believe with some creativity and mod, you can always build a dream machine out of any cases. That is IF you like to mod stuff and are comfortable with it.

I guess sometimes these GPU can run a bit too hot. A friend of mine told me that his GTX 275 is running at 100c+ while gaming, and it's under stock setting. While the other one has his melted... IF, my EK GTX block shows problem...these are the options I'd go:

IF, I'm going air cool route for the GPU...


And for water cool...

Some hardware rolled off the factory with fault. I bought a UD4 mobo for my 1st ever SB build, came back home with happy face, installed everything, fired up and only to find out that it won't boot, no beep no nothing. The bloody 3th and 4th RAM banks were faulty.

Pump -> internal vertical rad -> top mount rad -> cpu -> external rad -> res. Correct kah...?

Should at least use a couple of slow rpm fans even if noise is a big concern. Otherwise, if the temp is still not ideal even after water cooled, then the whole project would be pointless in terms of functionality, but aesthetics. Just my opinion. Cheers!

Yea, they come in different thickness, and should be included with the water block box. Study the guide carefully, and cut them up according to the guide. The pad provided will be more than you need. The important thing is don't put the wrong pad in the wrong section or else you will fried some components. Just becareful, and don't rush. I spent around 2hrs+ to get everything done on the GPU alone, just to make sure things were done correctly. It's way harder than installing the CPU block.

Nice build you have there, owikh84. By the way, how the front fans perform? Strong flow?

In my opinion, if the case is too tight that you can't fit a good fan on the rad, then it'd be better to upgrade to a better case than downgrade the fan. Cheers!

All rads will perform the best in push-pull config, and according to what I read, all the fans must be of same spec too. I used f12 fans on my RX360 before (push config), and can barely feel the air flow inside the case. Now it's on pull config with GTs, and I'd say the air flow is definitely . Not only the rads are cooled, the air flow inside the case is improved too.

The best way is, get a proper case in the 1st place. It's like photography, we won't buy an expensive lens and mount it on an entry level body.

Fittings...? There are members selling them here, kan? Otherwise terus order online.

Well, means any shops which sells online...haha. If can't find it locally, then you might want to look from overseas, though the shipping can be a little bit expensive, luckily all PC stuffs are tax-free as long as the invoice has the word "computer" printed on it. Good if they are hard to find items.

Received it today after some "chit-chatting" in Pos Office custom office...they simply don't believe that it's for PC usage. And they wanted to charge me RM4xx based on the invoice amount. So I taught them what is PC water cooling...and showed them how to use google to search for such thing. Last last the croc closed book, and asked me how much I want to give him. Show him my wallet with RM60, he pointed at the 50 note.

Opened up the box when I reached home, it's HUGE and heavy...no wonder they keep thinking it's for car usage...

Things always arrived without problems no matter how much the amount was. But this, the custom just doesn't believe it's for PC...

That's why the custom kept asking me what else it can be used for besides on a PC...haha. Well, I'm going to run just 9 fans on it at the moment...but might try to put 18 fans see what's the difference in the future.

Yea, lucky I didn't go to bank 1st...otherwise it won't be RM50. Actually, from what I know, all PC related stuffs are tax-free. The croc doesn't have an updated list on computer tech stuffs...all they have in the book is "Data Processing Unit". And they are like a total noob when it comes to this kind of things. One of the croc even told me he was a programmer and was in IT industry before...but he doesn't know what I was talking about when he asked about my CPU, and I told him it's a Sandy Bridge i7. In fact, all my previous packages arrived with no problems (from same vendor) at all and some of them cost even more than this rad. It's just that there is no "clear" description on the invoice nor there is a manual/guide saying that it's for PC water cooling. On top of that, from the rad packaging box it does look like it's for performance car... That's why the custom doesn't believe it's for PC. They asked me, is it to put inside or outside of the PC. If inside, then it's for PC. If outside, then it's not...WTF?! So I told them my PC case is 3 times bigger then theirs, and that rad is going into my PC case...and they were like

Got it all the way from FrozenCPU. Good packaging and it's fast.

I think if you can afford a water cooling system...then a few bottles of distilled from petrol station won't break your wallet. Don't know if they are selling it at the same price in all the stations, I bought mine at RM2/bottle.
