wat brand can u suggest tat is the best for newbie.
i find tat the GB Galxy cooler look nice wif a fan atas the waterblock and cost Rm500 is tat a good chooice or is there any more choice outthere. I read some review tat TT big water hav issue wif the rediator and its water tank.

anyway can ugiv me the link for the manufacture tat produce the LCS and some good LCS review site.

really interesed on LCS so i come here to ask lo

almost all lowyatians tat got watercooling system oso use these few brand only...Liang D5,Hydor,swiftech dc pump......

try other water pump oso not bad ma,such panworld....iwaki...sanso...those magnatic pump....confirm no regret...but of coz dun choose those hv too much heat dump

GB Galaxy got some pretty good reviews and quite good performance, wa for 500 i would have gotten that if it came out earlier. Try pcmoddingmy.com they had a review for it other sites try google it loh.
If got more money then and get the swiftech kits which is one of the best WC (not water closet) Lowyat Bulk order got bring in.

Not sure what TT bigwater review say got radiator problem and water tank problem. But its agreed that the bigwater is a entry model kit with a low flow and pressure pump and small tubings. the radiator not really a problem. heh well i got no problems with it loh.

Other than that. heh try the sticky for some general overview of what LCS will be like cheers and welcome to water cooling http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=165070

Well I suppose most of us would not have a panworld iwaki, due to the reason that it is freaking expensive. The last time I called iwaki malaysia to enquire about the MD20ZRT they quote me rm1500.........
I ask got discount of any kind, and they said NO....since the pump made in Japan....
And the only pump from panworld that is still reasonable on price is only the 50z......, that also would come to a price of a d5.....

hmm... i do have a acrylic reservoir..
but after using for a long time..there will got stain.
total sealed not very convenience for ppl who often clean up the system and fill in the water.

then juz get the sanso 1...same spec as iwaki md20rlt...made in japan too...which im using it now ...btw the pump a lot silent than any other magnetic pump tat i hv b4,those r made in china

holyak: where u get the sanso? how much does it cost you to get 1 of them?

kepong ..... rm 460 for my magnetic pump
model : sanso PMD311
26 liter permin flow rate/3.5 max heads

The flow and mHead is not far away from a d5, but I was expecting higher head pressure than 3.5 max
but then I have to really see the P-Q graph, that is if there is any for the pump.
How about the heat dump? or the power consumption for the pump?

20watt heat dump,46watt consumption

did any try before using passive LCS system??? (fan less like the coller master hav 1 of it)

and also where to buy dry ice ar and how much if u wan to buy

wow TJye, you've found someone that can bring in the 50Z?.. can share more details on where about to get em? contact info that is.. if you don't mind. TQ.

Not anything special la I just went on to cooltechnica to check the price + shipping to malaysia for the 50z
I found out that for
1 unit = RM395/unit
2 units = RM362/unit
3 units = RM352/unit
5 units = RM344/unit
10 units = RM338/unit

I was thinking of hosting a bulk myself, but the problem is dunno who would want to join and dunno who will trust me.....

1 more problem is, that bulk may face taxation risk. There are ways of going about that also.

just an info for taxed items...if the items found can be used apart from computer...then maybe facing a higher chance of tax....like radiator & pumps...

a saviour for bigwater maybe

THERMALTAKE VOLCANO 4005

maybe 10 - 12 x 120mm fans have to be used in wanna do active cooling there...hehe

see this

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/d...wcoolers_9.html

why this wc worse than air cooling?

i wonder the motherboard will "patah" becos of the big heat exchanger.

the passive cooling i mean is this TT



is this passive LCS good or the active LCS???

another new product from thermaltake to confuse ppl with new concept again....
performance wise i think is a no, coz the water has to go thru so many loops, and the pump they provide is usually the usual sucky pump.....

just look at the recommended setup below, u can actually add this to big water
just imagine that poor pump had to go thru


this what what i had in mind, but the one that i planned was the radiator is on top with the fins in vertical position.
it'll make a lot of difference because heat dissipated from the fins can escape ASAP in vertical position, rather than horizontal because the passage for heat is basically blocked


this is a passive liquid cooling system.

and passive LCS like Reserator and this cant perform.

the reserator structure is only a bottle structure, heat doesnt escape as fast as a radiator because the water is still " thick ", and there are no circulation in it.

for a passive LCS, the pipe must be connected to the surface, and not just to contain the water. surface area plays the most important role in passive cooling.
the more surface area, the faster the dissipation of heat

another thing is that, Alu get all those funny decomposition after a while after usage. so the performance will drop drastically if u dunt open up to clean it.
