hahaha "true" shawty ;D ... price to cooling performance ratio makes me....

You've just said the exact thing i was about to say
And "true" water cooling would be most brands beside thermaltake/coolermaster

previously with Apogee GT my 3.5Ghz Windsor X2 is running on 1.5vcore, my idle temp is about 32c idle and max 38c on load, doesnt sounds very good doesnt it? Well.. think again, both fan on my rad is running 400RPM only, non audible unless u slap ur ears on the rad. It took my xigmatek S1283 approx 2.4k RPM to produce result similar to this, the fans were screaming at me all the way to my toilet and back.

And also, a very big advantage of externally mounted rad, the hot air is dissipated OUTSIDE your casing, unlike normal heatsinks, hot air is flowed back inside the case before being pulled by your exhaust unless an air duct is made =)

well... a consolation to myself would be... it is indeed future proof, not forever but will definately last me 3-5 years even with my hardwares swapped in/out. Even if a new platform is introduced in the future, mounting kits/brackets for waterblock are easy to DIY unlike those in a huge heatsink, worst comes to worst... ziptie is always your best friend

really great result bro....looking forward for good result from ur x apogee hehehhehe

wow... nice temp there aoinatsume, but may i know ur ambient temp? mayb ur am2 windsor cooler thn my s939 toledo, mine 51-54c load on one core while another core @45c or less... IHS problem probably from amd, readings taken using core temp...

@AoiNatsume
Have u got ur D-Tek installed and running ???

I'm dying to see the result .. coz I know I would be lazy to install it within this week even though I've got it already.

Haven't collect it yet, it's at reception of my accommodation ...

that is kinda on the high side.
what vcore @ what speed ?

2.8ghz @ 1.51vcore...

doom u have fuzion????
show some pic please....

I know metalzone is gonna screw me for this but finally installed the hi-flow brbs drom DD on my Storm. Seems it allows faste bleeding of airlocks but on the downside reverted back to my old BIP radiator which is a bit restrictive compared to the MCR220. Still gurgling but will run it a few days to bleed out the airlock

@amd_hardcore

Just for you men, haven't install yet.

Had a virus attack yesterday so busy with re installation but went into trouble after realized that my CPU score in 3DMark06 is half of what I should scored.








Extra 2 pairs of D-Tek High flow 1/2" Water bart.


D-Tek Accelerator Nozzle Kit


Very nice and secured worm clamp .....


A pair of Yate Loon fans for testing only. Too bad doesn't comes with speed sensor.

ordered my nozzles from metalzone already... gonna update soon, a lil busy at the moment

Btw, i do notice that the fuzion's base is rather well lapped unlike other WB that ive used. It is just as you see in doom's pictars.

owh im think about something ler...

when i look at my gigabyte pump look a like

D-TEK DB-1.... LOL

btw doom , dats a cool blocks...

can tell me wats de fuction of nozel????

It's to concentrate the water flowing direction to focus on the cpu die ...

Hence more water is flowing at greater pressure passing through the CPU die area before it spread and flow out from the block ....

In conclusion, are there big differences between Apogee and Fuzion?

So far I noticed immediate few degrees on difference for both idle and load ..

I'm not sure how better it could get after the thermal paste is sit in properly..

Besides I used up my MX-1 already .. so have to get a tube of MX-2 soon..

Current result:
On D-Tek
Idle 29c load 38c

On Apogee GT
Idle 34c load 44c

To ppl that using nozzle for their DTek Fuzion, make sure you have a good/strong pump to pair with it and choose the most suitable size else u will get a worse result compare before using those nozzle. This is because those nozzle is a flow killer. So beware.. But anyway anyhow, I am an one happy user of those nozzle. Using those Quad core nozzle now. Can see some difference on the temp.

Added on December 21, 2007, 9:17 amI had to disagree on this. High end WC that used good / low cfm fan radiator dont really make that much of noise. You can even run passive (all fan off on radiator or some air flow from case fan) during non full load usage during surfing net and so on.

if u want to change pump, only get DB1 if u want a real silent pump. Nevertheless it is a cheap and reasonable strong pump.

but if some case, bowed GT will beat fuzion.

Will that accelerator nozzle cause bubbles?...

no its wont... If your setup got bubble, this means that u need to bleed your system. Normally u just need to open ur Micro Res cap and tilt ur system abit. Within few hours, the bubble will be eliminated

bro, that was exactly my point. Watercooling cna be run passively and works efficiently even on low RPM unlike air cooling.

I see...
