Wahai member member sekalian....

My hunt for a good rad continues..

In theory and from MS Eyeball processing... ini benda (sarjan say oil cooler) boleh jalan or not for my config?

Size is:
160mmX120mmX32mm

Other parts (repeat again)
MCP655
Storm --> K8 winnie
Maze4 Acetal or MCW55 --> 68GT scorching hot.

I emailed Thermochill recently to ask about shipping charges to Taiwan...afterall, their webshop are supposed to ship internationally and look at their reply above.

I was like... WTF?? It's like...where's the bleedin logic in this? Not shipping to a macho lengchai consumer like myself in Taiwan because stoned with counterfeiters. As if lar the manufacturers cannot buy from elsewhere.

Mmm...good question. You guys punya tygons OD berapa?
Still deciding between thick or thin...utility or bling ...

Sorry..should have elaborated.

Thicker less kinks mar = Utility.

Thinner more cantik mar.

Guys.. generally speaking.

How many feet of tubing do I need?

So far haven't come across anyone using the Aquagate in the forums hence the lack of response. Unless ur refering to the Aquagate mini.. Macdanife's a big fan of the mini. He's using it on both his homerig and his G5 case mod (you can PM him and check his worklog in casemod)

As for how much does it cost...this is quite a taboo. Price and dealers or go shopping's what you need.

I'm farrrrrrrrr from being an expert in these matters but from general observation...tiny radiator + tiny pump can't be outstanding.

Why don't you just pm Macdanife about the mini? From what he mentioned earlier, some shops are having discount on it or something like that.

Else...Bigwater (can't believe I'm saying this )... or even better... that Gigabyte kit. Dunno about the pricing in Malaysia but in Taiwan its cheaper than the bigwater.

If I have space to put in a 120x3....even a 120x2 also I'll get a BIP for low noise
I think you're only gonna need a BIX3 if you run X1800XTs crossfire with a prescott...hahahaha

Update a bit... (thinly veiled bump)

Storm --> In da house
MCW55 --> In da house
BIX --> In da house
MCP650 --> In da house (scrapped the D5 plan and got this instead. Cheaper)
Bunch of barbs and all --> In da house.
Tubing --> Can't blardy find good ones!!!! Gonna Fedex some tygons

Edit:

Panaflo's are no more di. Gone. Extinct.
Taken over by NMB brand.

Kinda regretted buying that MCP650 (D4

Should have gotten a MCP650/DDC instead and fit it with this modded top.
http://tw.f3.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/c18809758

It's similiar to that systemcooling mod that makes the DDC a MCP600 beater and changes the barbs to 1/2 as well.

*Sigh*

Typo lar...I did say DDC wat right.



Dood..the sarge is trying to say--> Mix metal = big boo boo

Looks like most ppl also got their storms oledi but still no proper reports yet?

The second order just left the US yesterday so it should arrive within this week. Also ordered the MCP350 modded top
Quite certain next week can play already... *fingers crossed*

Doesn't seem like much difference with ur former maze4 setup leh. Maybe you need a better pump .... like the spare MCP650/D4 thats lying around here with me

The concept is as per this:
http://www.systemcooling.com/mcp350_mod-03.html

And this fella sells the top (top only)

By the way... all but one of the toys have arrived.

CM coolant ler. Kena brainwashed by ianho and the shop fella. The shop dood claims that the CM and TT coolant's good. His shop basically have a couple of display units that's been running for ages...the bigwater...gigabyte...a diy on CM coolant and the forgot-the-name kit that was using those funky copper rads a few pages back. The latter was using a greenish coolant which he claims was same as the hydrx and there's some funky stuff in the res already.

Oh...T-line seems to be in fashion now..so using that ler. Managed to find a brass T in the plumbing shop. Looks like should do although the ID could be a lil bigger.

Save space mar... my objective is not the most uber temps but quiet, better-than-air temps and tidily bling

Where did you order from?

Ya guys should try sidewinderscomputer..the stuffs sold there ain't as exotic as frozencpu or such and Gary (the dood there) is kinda busy at times but always reply his mail before the next day (unlike the others) and best of all... freakin fast.
I made my latest order and paid via paypal on Monday and it arrived in exactly a week using global express (not even Fedex).


And you're the only dood here that uses both a res and a t-line...hahahaha..

The last piece of the puzzle has arrived ...

MCP350 modded top...machined from deltrin. Hope it fits tight though..



So luvvvly

Slowly lar...noobie here ler.

Assembled the pump already..


Now working on getting a HDD cage to fit the 5" bay area.

Gonna put the rad at the intake's position so have to relocate the HDD's to the 5" bays instead and since I have only 4 x 5" bays in total, need to create a cage to save space and the dampened the vibration.

Pump's gonna be at the bottom of course.

Thinking of the shortest route being pump --> VGA --> CPU --> rad --> T-line.

The sarjan adviced against VGA --> GPU as well..

Thing is...that's the most convenient route and I'm not concerned about the CPU temps.

Even with air, I'm only getting about 44C load. It's the GPU that I'm most concerned about.

My question is.. isn't the rad's efficiency the determining factor here rather than CPU or GPU first...since after all it is a loop.

That loop means extra tubing length leh...

Anyway..the good news is finally I'm starting...now working on the duct but the bad news is the missus took the digicam with her overseas so there's not gonna be any pics to pimp
