Show some temperature result as well lah ...

He's only cooling his CPU should be just nice with single fan configuration ...

Unless he's going to add a VGA block, single rad is definitely enough ..

It's wiser just to invest on a good block coz the design make lost of difference in performance ...

There were cheap block sold in bulk order last time .. but seems like closed for long time ....

@MetalZone

I had this problem when using short water barb, I can't clamp the barb using hose clamp coz the distance between two barbs on Apogee GT just too tight ..

It leak gao gao I mean really a lot of fluid dripping all over the place so in the end I used back the swiftech barb ... I could uses those short barb on my radiator only as I could clamp it tight enough to prevent any leakage .

btw all my barbs is in 1/2" size ..

I'm interested to change my current block coz it's performing at 32c during idle and 42c load .. even with the as low as 15c of ambient temperature here .. not interested to bowed it ..coz if the new block perform better I would just sell Apogee GT away ...

So my question would be would a longer barb has lower leak chances, coz the swiftech plastic barb works brilliantly even without clamp, however on the safe side I do apply clamp on it ..

and would the use of zip tip enough to hold the tubes from leakage coz the distance between the barbs just so tight ..

Thanks for the photo, seems like have to be use the worm drive clamps..

I used it on the short barb for my radiator and it really doesn't leaked at all ..

but I find it hard to use it on MCW60 with short barb ... the tube just won't fit nicely like it is on the longer barb ... there leakage happened easily ...

btw ... back to my major concern, a longer or shorter barb would be better ??

and will my CPU temperature goes down by changing the block ??

thank in advance men ..

Original barb is long type and it works brilliantly .. no leak just need small zip ties will do fine ..

My problem was I tried to use shorter chrome water barb ..

but it leaked gao gao .. and very hard to secure it from leaking ..

ic ic .. like u said .. .a longer barb is easier to install then ...

shorter barb required more attention .. .and the design of MCW60 really make it difficult to clamp properly..

guess I should look for longer chrome barb if I would want to replace the plastic barb ... but so far the plastic barb works better ..

I would leave it .. .concentrate on getting a better CPU block instead..

yah it does which make me spent to get two extra pairs ..

but in the end doesn't works easily on my blocks ..

so still stuck with the old plastic barb...

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 ...

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 !!

Why they are closed ???

haha ... they are the least customer oriented shop around there ..

Say one price at LYN then say charge another at the shop when collecting it ..

Further more, they don't sell any other hardwares .. so how do earn income ..

hmmmm tukang besi probably at jalan pasar probably .. ???

hahah .,,, just kidding, got place that do all these ar ??

I thought it need CNC machine to make a block ...

hmmm ... interesting ...

That's the total balance that one have to achieve with the WC set chosen .....

trade off ..... the way of setting up and performance of each component have to be taking into account....

heheh faster ... show ur new gigabyte setup with the above babe inside ...

can't wait to see how it turns out to be .. remember to update some performance difference as well. ...

hahah .. then ur only choice would be swiftech pump again right ??

unless u have other candidate in mind as well ....

clearflex is good but I prefer musketeer coz it's more transparent ... however it's slightly stiff compared to clearflex ...

hmm .. be patient loh ... raise the money slowly ...

EK Supreme and D-tek Fuzion + Nozzle Accelerator are the best in the market for performance and price ratio ...

hhehe just ordered D-Tek Fuzion and Nozzle accelerator plus some D-Tek high flow water barbs .....

those are my Christmas present for myself .. . . . . .

Ek Supreme is good and cheaper .. but I just like the look of D-Tek more ....

heheh excellent finishing only accomplished with comparison result men..

Show us the difference of Gigabyte WC kit against ur Swiftech setup..

yah yah ... curious about the difference as I'm waiting for mine to be delivered to my door step maybe by 2mr .. .
