Mastah Sniper, see you no long time, ok hope your rig is.

Against Apogee Jedi Council voted yes...errrr now pening, macam mana derlin boleh cracked....? the force is in you strong one...

and daze, drop the two rads idea, it's weakened you Heads loop and the provide insignificant improvement throughout the systems.

bro setan, which Eheim u're using?

IMHO Whitewater LE is a good High Restrictive waterblock if you can pair it with a suitable pump... which nirox P2800 isn't one of em. You'll need a pump with at least 3.0 Hmax for that block which is again paired with a 2 x 120 rad... pity the nirox P2800. It'll be like using a Nisan 120Y engine in a Merc S280 body... sure the car can move but naik bukit sakit sikit lar, even a kapchai kan overtake.

Uncle sniper is right 1046 wont cut the G4 more over a BIP3. Get at least a MCP655 or D5.

BIX 120 > BIPIII? son, you're comparing a single 120mm rad with a triple 120mm rad. it's not the same game, heck it's not even in the same ballpark. Mebbe i'll confuse u a bit more :

1. BIX 120 is better than BIP 120 if... IF u're using a high CFM fan
2. BIP2 is better than BIX 120 if using a low CFM fan, and finally
3. BIX3 is better than BIP3 if using a high CFM fan.

TIPS: if you're oni watercooling your cpu then, a single 120mm rad is sufficient.

Yup those Ehiem are quiet, reliable pumps.. but pricey. Ei. nice setup on your rig good to see someone still using ye ol faithfull Maze4 block...

aleck, performance wise how ar? 3 blocks, 2 rads, 2 pumps....

EDIT:mind telling what's the ambient temp?END EDIT... sigh... you'd mentioned the ambient temp in previous post . how long/length the tubing? neway if the amibent is around 28~30C your load is should be around 34C~36C with the block+rad combo. (dT +-6C from ambient). but then again need a detail spec of your loop e.g. like bro metal suggested a pic of the setup... well just to play it safe if using a dual rad (2 x 120mm) better get a better pump than the P2800... resistivity even though is minute, is still a restrictive factor in the dual rad loop.

heheheee... cantik temp. with the all the rads, of course lar no pump's heat dump issue. plus mind the heads guys, this is an excellent example of knowing the performance in mix and mathing each block, rad, pump. It doesn't have to be the most/bestest expensive or highest performance block/rad/pump if the mix and match is like mixing curry powder in sambal belachan. .. so read the guide in the sticky first when choosing your DIY set. Watercooling is an art.

zahri and the rest: here's a link of pump performance comparison done by coolmeister.

Pump Perfromance Info

It should give y'all a rough idea how's the performance might be and to guide us on choosing the right pump.

Tips: try to mix and match so that the min flow is 8LPM ( or 480 LPH)for optimum performance. Yeah Hmax is important for non restrictive guide in choosing pumps but here's already a complete set (block(s) + rad + pump) so flow rates determine the optimal performance in cooling. I'll explain more when time permits. sorry.

errrrr... yes, for optimum perfromance answer is yes.... for cukup makan performance must be in between 5LPM~7LPM.

that's fluid mechanics... smaller pass contibutes bigger pressure. like the jet impingement effect on Storm's G4.

your curent kit is 7C higher than ambient at load or idle?... if at load, it should be okay no worries... it's an apogee bear mind.

and as for the nirox.... errr, i've used it with a BIX2 before (in the pump shoot out) and seemed gives 3C higher from another budget pump with 50W load but at 3.1Hmax....(lay man terms, <2.0m Hmax pump is sux0r with dual fan rad)

ikan@ mind telling your gonna pair the blocks and rads with wat pump? and fan for the rad, which one? then oni can give verdict.

ermm.... change a higher Hmax pump perhaps rather than buying another nirox. .. dun worry so much about the heat dumps if its 2 x 120mm rad.

satanhead@ you want what recomendation? well if you ask for an opinion then i'll give you mine:

Option 2, as the humongous pump will do good with the whitewater

bro and all, a pump is like an investment, do invest wisely, if thinking of a long term low risk portfolio, get the D5 full stop. For a short term high risk tenure, the ayam brand will do.... and -sigh- i haven't got the chance to fix my BI GT yet.. aiyaaaaaa...... demmit.

Bro ikan, nice choice for pump and block ... oni thing is, your rad is a bit overkill. just get the BIP or BIGT 120mm it enuf with that mix and match.

well, lich... currently there are quite a numbers of wblock for sli, but for me, i'll just get a pair of DD Maze4 Acetal low profile waterblock for the gpu and bga ramsinks for the ram... being a skint person that i am... it's one of the most efficient, value and economical way to watercooled an sli setup.

bwahahaha.a.. sarjan, we old timer still into watercooling meh?

neway, I'm through with resevoir, now using "T" line instead for all me watercooling rigs.

and bout those G4 barbs, I'm having the same thought to, but mebbe got issue regarding clearance in between those barbs with those fat mutha clearflexes.

O.T. good to see this thread is alive and kicking.

Well if you add a bit more kerchingg (RM), you can get a decent starter kit from Metalzone...

Hi y'all... noobie/lazy ere.

errr... anyone here using the GTX series radiator from HWlabs? wanna know performance wise with low cfm fan and high heads pump.

errr.... i did a BIX2 for a couple of years and am looking forward for an upgraded version. The thermochill is a bit out of the moolah range... bro.

ditto

I couldn't find a decent review on google bout the GTX, thus wuz wondering if anyone in LYN is using it. (the single fan type aka 120)

O.T. DaRkSyThE@weh, sorry if it's a bit outdated, but congrats for getting a mod tag... ...

errr... depends man, RM800~RM1,000 should get you a decent kit or DIY. Which one 're you inclined more OCed Proc or OCed SLI'?

wud teh farrrgh...... lol...congrats sargeant, you've turned that storm into a chapalang "looks" waterblock ... lol

neway, whats the thread size for the storm?

I'd second

this one 1/4" to 1/2"


fuiyoo... ghettoo meh. ya lor david faiti confirm liao.
