The old thread can be found here: Lowyat.Net Watercooling Club V1
Overclockers United is getting a little stale so lets just spice things up shall we? Lets just post pictures of our watercooling setup along with screenies! Some examples like below:



Feel free to discuss about water cooling too

Black Ice is never a popular radiator For the price you're paying, might as well you get something better (or settle for something cheap and good) but don't settle for something that most people doesn't want. It's like buying a radiator from the Factory Outlet Store, lol.

Nevertheless, it's the buyer's choice to decide but obviously, it's a bad buy

Wow, the radiator can go so far behind, haha. Anyway, it's not that bad after all

You need an inverter and if you want to mod like this, might as well you just go for MCP-655 Even if you run Nirox with DC power, it is a very noisy and hot pump.

Either one works, it won't kill anything if you turn the pump on 1-2 seconds later

Laing invented the pump and they "sell" the technology for others to make it. It's the same like ATI/nVidia cards, for example ATI designs and makes the 5870 GPU and we have all these manufacturers making cards for 5870 (today we have reference and non-reference design). Are they all the same? Some are more expensive, some are cheaper, some has high RMA rates and some are low so you have the answer.

The concept works the same way

Swiftech makes their MCP-655's and it's clearly stated in the box that it's manufactured by Swiftech. Danger Den probably had Laing making for them. Here is the brochure for the D5 vario, Laing makes the motor and we can have different housing for different applications:

It has been done before, here's a good read

There are many other myths and facts about water cooling and it's components I always advice based on my experience as a user, not from a seller's perspective so it's up to people whether they want to trust or not.

1. You can start your PSU without using the motherboard - you just have to short 2 pins on the 24-pin ATX connector, just google and you'll find how.
2. If you have an AC to DC inverter, you can use that too and it costs RM60 only.

That way you do not have to be afraid even if there are leaks If indeed there is, just turn off the power, fix it and make sure everything is dry before turning it on.

To make it simple, just ensure your loop is running fine and leave the reservoir cap open. After a while the trapped air (bubbles) will be out of the loop and everything will be silent then you can close the reservoir cap, sit back and relax

Yup it can be open and it's fine Only noob can spill water when the loop is running with the cap opened so you'll be fine

Like I said it won't happen. You're basically learning from someone that doesn't even know what he's talking about.


You obviously don't fill the water in the reservoir until the maximum point where even a fart would cause it to spill. Besides if someone can tilt a 10KG object hard enough for the spill, he's really a noob Can I say we should wear gloves and slippers when we try to plug in a 2-pin adapter into the wall socket just in case if it explodes, short circuit or anything can happen? Come on, let's be more matured and logical in giving examples. This forum needs better quality posts, don't just post for the sake of posting.

I think you still don't understand the issue. You're literally giving silly examples and crossing the road might also get you run down by a car so we have to wait until midnight when there's no cars to cross the road? Seriously, you really need to discuss things more constructively and maturely. Look at all your comments even in the overclocking thread, I really don't know how to say

When people are corrected for their mistakes, they feel offended. Seriously, this only happens in local forums like here. I've been here since day one and I can tell you it hasn't change but rather became worse. The quality of posts is sometimes just crap so when are we going to improve? I don't see what's wrong with it and disagreement/correction doesn't mean flaming. If our boss don't agree with us and give a negative remark so it means he is scolding and "flaming" us? No wonder we're still stuck at where we are here. Let's be more matured and constructive.

Like I said, this place is becoming from bad to worse. By being constructive, we should discuss things in a proper manner and if examples were to given, make sure they are logical. Do not say I am going against anyone, I'm a fair person and if you think you're matured, search for all his posts and judge for yourself. Look at the way he replies and what he's talking about then let us know if most of them makes sense. There aren't many old timers left in the forums and a lot of them eventually gave up with the style and behaviour of some forummers which doesn't seem to ever understand how to post properly. It's close to 10 years and look at our local forums compared to XS, OC Forums, OCAU, etc and you can instantly spot the differences so is quality posts important - think about it yourself.

I do not lose anything for not sharing what I know and my experiences with water cooling. I'm not saying I'm superb or a professor but I think it's valuable to share what I know and have learnt throughout the years. When I first started, not many people know about water cooling and getting help back then is a lot harder. Imagine if people were to give silly examples and teaching me the wrong thing, I probably would've screwed up my PC plenty of times. Sometimes we must learn how to be more responsible when guiding others. In other forums if people don't know, they won't coach. Over here, people that don't know or just happen to know starts teaching others and in the end, everyone might have the wrong concept. Is this what we really want?

I am selling water cooling parts because it is my hobby and interests and if it was really about business, I would've done it long time ago and carry all the brands. I can just close my eyes and dump in 50 grand (or maybe more) any day, it's not a hard thing for me either but there are reasons why I'm not doing it. My intention is to enjoy my hobby and also try to help as many people like me to enjoy/get water cooling.

When I put in an advice, it's always from an enthusiast perspective rather than a seller. If I'm a businessman, I would've said everything is good because the more people buy, the better it is because I make money. Why do you think water cooling parts/accessories have so much of varieties these days? Manufacturers are designing and making more because this is business and money making When I say something is not necessary, it doesn't mean I'm against anyone but I'm just trying to help people save some money on parts which isn't necessary. Again this is not appreciated but I don't lose anything because you're the buyer, you spend the unnecessary money and the businesman makes it from you.

There are only a handful of us posting in this sub-section and I don't think I should continue posting anything else here, it's enough because people don't know how to value what's good and what's not. Hence, you guys can continue and confuse others or give silly examples. I'm out of here so good luck!
