Saw the thread before , but where got sell it ?

hello everyone. just saw this and wanted to drop in and say hello since have not been around for a long time. anyway, in sig is my setup. will post pics later when i get home.

claw n vlad. pm them

I will Pm them to ask them . Which fitting is the better , Compression fitting or normal fitting with clamp ?

sorry to but* in uninvited but thought i would just share my 2cents which is that the compression fitting works much better. personally, if you are going to buy hose clamps, the garden variety hose clamp which costs peanuts works much better than those sold by the h2o cooling companies.

go compression, it's a little easier to route tubes. easy to disconnect for maintenance. nothing wrong with barbs too, very cheap. can use zip ties to secure them.

hi guys...
im just finish assembling my new loop...
so tired lol....
here's some pix :

running leak test!!!





more pic's later coz now still doing leak test....
sorry for the blurry pic's...phone camera lol...

You should have better result with this.
Pump --> CPU --> so on so forth

it doesnt really matter which one go 1st coz close loop will reach its thermal equilibrium.

both r better, compression fittings is just for the looks

agree with u. those garden clamps (need screwdriver) is way cheaper, i bought rm1 per piece, but in golder color, wanna find silver 1. but i prefer the pvc clamps, easier to put in n out, cheap, dont hurt your hand like compression fittings, and can be pair with barbs.

summary:
compression fittings = rm35 / piece
barbs = rm9 / piece
pvc clamps = rm3.5 per piece

please calculate yrself how much u want

agree with u, thats y i dont care which ever comes 1st as long as res comes before pump

u can get silver ones in a hardware shop called Mr.DIY.

they sell below rm1 for the silver ones. and quality better than those gold color which sell at rm1 at normal hardware shop.

later post good picture will copy your setup if look nice can i welcome u as haf x owner?

lol been having that debate with vlad for a long time lol

hmm will test it out

hahaha true dat ... a constructive debate i may add..
Theoretically, the temp diff at points in the loop pretty low that it would not matter much on loop arrangement, (res --> pump being exception).

vlad

tru dat on the pricey hose clamps..there are a bunch of them now, n cost quite a lot for just clamps (e.g evil's clamp which did not went to prodcution coz of too expensive..but desing being picked up by lamptron..)..parring these clamps with barbs would cost as much as a comp and probably more sometime. most clamps works the same, depends on user's preference in term of what kind of look he wants.

personally i prefer barbs over comp, as it looks really slick w/o that comp ring bump..pairing with a clamp would have same effect..so zip ties for me, those tiny black ones.

vlad

erm, already live here in Tmn U almost 4 years, not yet well known of this place coz cannot found proper hardware store

where? i read from 1st page not found

even the seller go for cheaper alternative for the same purposes bro, that koolance also pretty while not so expensive, can put on your thread

you guys are right that in a closed loop the temperature difference is minimal at best. however, if you add in the following factors, the loop config becomes somewhat automatically pre-determined;

1. ensure there is no risk of pump running dry.
2. create optimal turbulence within the cpu/gpu cooler
3. ensure during first startup, air can be bled efficiently into the res.

at least the above is my understanding and based on the above my system is configured in this way res>pump>rad>cpu>res. so far for oced i920 i am getting temps of 40°C in average but never more than 42°C. which is reasonable.

actually, if you ask me the hware house clamp fitting looks so much more macho compared to the comp fitting. but then again its a matter of asthetics and function.

haha,thanks bro...
really satisfied with this casing...superb!!!
drawbacks only its weight....
later i will post more...
dont copy my loop la bro...mine noob loop only....
not like yours

40c??aircond room bro??

yup, so heavy, my arms got ache the other day after i bring that thing home
where got my setup? already change new not yet post here same as my latest diagram, u need to imagine before i post it here

yup...ur diagram on the left similar like mine...
except no loop to gpu....from pump directly to cpu...
no moneh to buy gpu wb....
