yeah i realised that, that's y i only soak it for not more than 2 hours... then i clean it with lots of boiling water...
maybe i need to take them apart this weekend n clean it again... i think i'll drain it, then fill it with distilled water n let it run for a few hours then drain it again n refill with distilled water again... so what brand of distilled water should i buy??? |

distilled water from medical... ok, those they use to clean kidneys???
diamond??? o ya... i'm using those... tap water is filtered water... Added on August 21, 2007, 12:14 pmafter running for few days... the distilled water has proven to be the cleanest n most effective medium for wc... my tubing is clear now n the temp has been the same, with or without coolant... 1 gallon of medical distilled water only cost me rm12.00... which is slightly more expensive than petronas distilled water (battery)... however, is RO water the same??? i tried to run push pull of fan configuration, running a few low rpm CM fans in push pull gave me better idle temp n lower noise too but once load, then fans shows it's weakness n temp hit high 60... however the low noise is very nice... i might buy a few more low rpm queit 120mm fans to test this out...

QUOTE(remysix @ Sep 1 2007, 06:40 PM) that's the problem...i couldnt find the problem 48 to 49'c idle with ur kit does seems a bit out of theory... have u tried to remount the cpu block??? ...no air buble, the water flow is very clean n smooth...anyway, running Q6600 G0 at 3.5G wif 1.38v, what do u think the acceptable temp?  |

QUOTE(Doom @ Sep 3 2007, 12:57 PM) Just curious .. how good Apogee GT could work on stock E6600 running dual rad. hahaha, that's same to me... i mean from hsf to wc but the cpu only benefit a drop of 5'c to 8'c... compare to my arctic freezer 7 pro... but the gpu temp drop is huge...! anyway, till i found a case for the dual rad then i'll make sure i'll have a better loop (shorter n neater)... re-blead the loop again... my e6600 (400 x 9, 1.500vcore) idle temp is now 40'c to 42'c at nite...my CPU temperature isn't up to expectation compared to the VGA card block's performance... |

QUOTE(remysix @ Sep 4 2007, 07:30 AM) rain all nite long last nite till this morning...so, the temp seems to be good...idling at 38c. i'm not sure if i wanna bow my gt but maybe i'll do it when i overhaul my rig... but eventhough the idle temp doesn't show much superior but the load temp is much much better... yah, i mean it's really a bit of pain in the ass for 1st timer wc... got to read tons of stuffs, then the money, then the installation, etc but luckily we found lots of help from lyn member... well, that's still a nice adventure though... i'm giving another option for my setup. after all the hassle to have the rad inside the casing, i think i might wanna try to put it outside. the rad is really generating a lot of heat inside and wif 1x120mm exhaust fan, the inside is like a oven which i think personally really not good for watercooling. i need to find a good and free day to do that, maybe this weekend. @HaHaNoClue, yup, the temp that i got is kinda frustrating compared to the aircooling taking into consideration the hassle of mounting the rad inside, mounting the res and pump and ensuring no leaking and then bleeding process summore plus the price for the whole setup. with all that factors. maybe there are still a lot for us to learn. are u planning to bow ur GT?  however, my nb n my gpu benefit a lot from this wc kit... i juz dunno y my 975 is so hot, maybe due to the high vmch i pump in, but now it's pretty cool n i can even lower the vmch by quite a margin... |

i'm oso not sure, i tried variuos method but it seems like the cpu ain't benefiting much from wc... the nb n gpu gaining the most out of it... however i does shows more stable temp for my cpu...

maybe change the rad to a 120mm unit might give u better result in load temp... galaxy is quite good, it's better than bigwater n definitely last longer than bigwater too... ur temp isn't bad at all... i think u can still oc higher!!! n ur galaxy 8500GE tend for very high oc too, since u have a nice hsf installed... ther's a fren of mine willing to sell his DD gpu block in near perfect condition for sell, he is in sabah too... pm me if interested...

QUOTE(LExus65 @ Nov 7 2007, 08:29 AM) this question just came to me recently, if i were goin into water cooling but i only use it for short period for most of the time ( ~ 1 hours or less) and i would need it to operate without problem for daily on & off use... it is advisable ?? need some sifu advice on this ........ well it doesn't matter how long do u use ur pc, as a matter of fact i think most of us use our pc as another toy, well, just buy urself a wc kit n have a little adventure ther... we all like toys don't we...  |
