yeah 7/16ID 5/8OD are favourites among xtresystems forumer, i also ordered 10feet frm a USA bulk last august but the stuffs havent arrive, so my nxt plan is still stick with 1/2ID using back my old tubings. bought lotsa 3/8ID stuffs include tubings and barbs frm metalzone but i shall keep it for 2nd loop when i got enough budget for another pump.

plz... don't seduce me anymore....

every time i look at ur sig (metalzone)...I just fall in love with the chrome barbs..

but still not dare to spent further more to try other long barb as well ...

Haha check your pm, don't blame me if you cannot tahan the poison.

some question, do apogee gt water blocks need cleaning? last time what i know is jet impingement block such as storm need cleaning frm time to time to prevent clogged up. do apogee gt blocks need it?

hmm .. where's out sifu (metalzone) that just poisoned me earlier ??

he should be able to answer it ... coz I'm curious about the question as well ..

where are u MZ !!

Same goes for the Apogee due to it's diamond matrix pin cushion. Depending on the quality of water and if coolant used, it may affect flow rates quite significantly

just drained my loop and check my blocks, are copper inside are still nice, so i didnt did the cleaning job... currently waiting the arrival of my 8800gt, will post new setup of dual mcr220-qp, mcw-60 vga block setup in my stacker once everything are done.

mcw-60 can fit with 8800gt? lazy to seek..ngeh ngeh ngeh..

should be supported as same mounting holes with 7900gt, just use the ori plate, dun use 8800 plate.

LOL sorry I didn't check this thread for a while. Was very occupied during the weekend.
The Apogee GT doesn't really need frequent cleaning as it doesn't clog up as easily as the Storm.

something weird to ask, i juz downvolted my mcp650, D4 pump to 10v, but what suprises me is the temp of my cpu and gpu decreases but not increases.. weird...

how to downvolt it??? i'm using a D5...

i using a custom made 10v fan speed controller which supports high ampere bought from bombman last year... been controlling my NMB fan for long time, recently i tried it on my pump and it works, more silent now then before... now no longer using NMB fans, using CM fans instead cause now running dual radaitor setup, should be sufficient using low rpm fans....

yaaa... got nothing to do today so trying to do some mod for my gigabyte rad....





i notice the idle temp decrease about 3'c...

lol

BTW , wta , can nirox pump support 2 X 120 mm rad????

well... a good explanation would be the lower airflow allows the water to stay longer in the water block thus allowing it to absorb heat more efficiently... my 2 cents though.

i dont thnk there will be any problem.



now, ive got a few question that i could really get some help with. Started to plan for my incoming Cool-Trek DP1202 and MCW60-R.

By then, my setup should be pump(Nirox P3800 rated @ 1.5L/H) -> Rad (DP1202) -> CPU (Whitewater) -> GPU (MCW60-R ) -> Reservoir -> pump.

How much pressure drop should i be expecting if i were to use 3 L joints? Will they bring big impact to the overall cooling performance? my case isnt a huge TJ-07 .. ive got quite a limit on how things are done here...

As tested in moderno place in a similar setup, the 1.5L/H nirox is running a little too fast... so would a couple of resistant a good idea to slow the flow down?

To compare between nirox and eheim pump,which is better?

i read in this thread , ler or errmmm dun remember lah...

someone said nirox is better than eheim....

maybe the lower eheim pump model kot?

Thanx.In choosing a pump fir a cheap price,what actually looking for? is it the size,wight,power? on anything else.

Fish tank pump best.... Cheap and power...
