Alphacool Quite ok, Swiftech 1 is cheapest yet perform better thn those TT, Gigabyte... PA is the best, get 120.2 should be sufficient for CPU only cooling...

wta , the D-TEK dB-1 pump good or not???

want to change new pump lerrr... hehehe

HAPEE NEW YEAH.....

If want to test only, probably just get those swiftech or cooltek. A cheap and good brand.. Not to mention, it is easier to re sell also. haha..

Alphacool is quite ok.. Can buy..

Errr... Better dont buy through third party. Else for sure got delayed till dont know how many months. Buy direct is the best. Pay abit more but stuff can reach ur doorstep in less a week. Like me


This is a good / silent pump. Performance is ok ok only.. But very cheap.

Why not save abit more for 655? U wont regret.

aiyoh... need to run my pc in short term coz school nearly open...

hmmm.... aiyo... very hard to decide loo..

just do a little bit research....

actually , Gigabyte Galaxy pump is almost same with Dtek DB-1 pump.

as u can see the physical design is same , only the barb thing difference.

the flow rate for DB-1 is 500 L/hr and Gigabyte Galaxy pump is 400 L/hr.

both pump also use ceramic bearing and 12volt powered.

power consume also same 6 watt.

so i think , i will just wait until i collect enough money to change my pump.

luckily i do a little bit research , if not , i will just buy another pump same as Gigabyte pump.

Heh..... until januari 3rd...... Quick....

bro how to buy direct?

haha, ya interested on it to, everytime i get my stuffs from bulk gotto wait long time...

Personally I didnt compare both of that pump before. Probably the spec is quite similiar but I just worry the build quality is not the same. Later down the road in few months, those gigabyte pump will just 'die'. hehe

Errr.... Just buy from those US website. Like PPCS, Sidewinders, PTS and so on. As long you have credit card, everything can be settle as they accept visa / master or paypal.

You can order from thermochill direct too.. But shipping direct from UK is freaking expensive.

guys , currently find mobo...

which is gud for E6300 for oc 3ghz+...

gigabyte p35 ds3 or old p965 ds3????

both also good..

ya meh???

i read somewhere E6300 proc needs a gud FSB mobo...

i know can order direct through those sites, but then the shipping costs usually cost a bomb too lolz, like 50USD right?
what shipping method you used?

D4 and D5 are almost identical except that D5 produces less heat.

Not sure about the D4 being the weaker sibling but im using it and it works like charm so far. *touchwood*

I'm just curious if anyone here tried out those basic water cooling kits from Thermaltake and Cooler Master. I wonder how do they perform

Absolutely pointless .. .can't match nice high end cooler ...

You've used one before? Kind to share your experiences with it?

if u actually read thje thread... u will notice that these two are always avoided... i personally liek teh coolermaster r120 aquagate mini.. but thats about it.. the rest of the stuff is really crappy...

I understand and of course if you compare a proper WC system, these would definitely turn out less effective.
What I'd like to know is how "bad" is bad? Does it mean the R120 performs worse than Ultra Extreme for example? Is it on par, etc? These are the things and for somenoe that has used a high end air cooling and such kits, perhaps they can share their actual experiences.
