thanks for the reply guys, great

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.

thanks for your reply sniper, at least i know that not many using aquagate, so maybe i will consider something else.

edit : just found out the aquagate price is RM720, Holy Crap, i dont afford that much.

anyway i thinking of getting the Evercool WC202

how hot's ur prescott at full load OC'ed? as far as i know it gets pretty much damn hot at high OC's at full load. what heatsink are you using also?

i'm not sure how much the Evercool WC202 can reduce your temps, coz its not generally regarded as a high end kit aimed at dissipating such amounts of heat. its a good choice for AMD K8 and K7 overclockers, but i'm not sure if it can handle those ultra hot prescotts.

metalzone, the prescott is very hot indeed.

i am getting 60 with Coolermaster hyper 6 + vantec tornado. oouch...

I was actually the WC-202 as i might replace the default fan for the external radiator and use my tornado.

so for me if the water cooler can reduce 5 degree is enough for me i will say. i am at the border line actually.

and the worst come worst i will just use the cooler for my display card.

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.

what's your budget like actually?
you might be able to afford a custom set...

budget is RM400 - RM500.

I am trying if i can equip everything inside the case. i am interested with GPU water cooling as well. Do you think the cooler you have with some modification like bigger radioter can do a trick ?

and sniper, i have read the review of the mini, they are priced around RM250. But i doubt they can do better then WC-202.

about custom set, i worried about the leak. i will going to low yat this sunday, maybe i will go around and see if there is any custom set.

Making any modification to the WC202 is quite hard to come by actually. coz the connections and stuff, and where are u gonna get a suitable radiator? i'm not trying to kill my own sales but i'm just being an honest trader.

actually with RM500 you can build quite a decent custom set already. albeit without the GPU Block. leaks are something you have to be aware of when u play with watercooling. thats why you have to always do a leak test for 24 hours before you put it in. just make sure everything has been fixed properly, proper barbs or clamps etc, or in the case of the WC202, screwed properly.

you can check out dinster`s bulk or metalzone`s bulk..building a wc kit would be the better choice because it will definetly show results and leave some room for modifications and upgrades in the future.

Hello people. Haha. My WC setup is back online. Everything finally came home from the RMA after 3 long months n sum very nasty recent emails from me to Cudo Sdn Bhd.

So nice to see my temps waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down again as compared to the stock AMD cooler n even the great Zalman VF700Cu is no match for the water block on the GC.

I was just wondering if any of u fellas r running a 5.25 bay reservoir with hairline cracks that's repaired with silicone sealant? I've got cracks on both inlet n outlet barbs. very very miniscule leak, after few hours leak test oni can c a little bit of blue at the cracks(coz I'm using blue CM Thermal Fluid). No actual dripping. I've sealed them up with silicone n allowed them to cure for 12 hours b4 using. U guys reckon it's OK or shud I order a new reservoir?

Oh yah. 1 tip for guys needing new hoses. I changed all my hoses to new hoses. Very very good quality hoses with the markings n everything on it. very flexible n yet no kinks. Very nice n clear too. My 3/8"ID 1/2"OD tubes only cost rm0.90 per foot. Go check them out at 1Utama DIY shop. Only recently the stocks came back in. It was out of stock for ages.


Haha. good luck. When it comes to water cooling parts, it's called Lau Ya Plaza. I tried to find new reservoir today n nobody selling anything but the stupid mickey mouse Thermaltake M3 bay reservoir. I had to fix my reservoir with silicone sealant instead.

confirm want ????
if yes pls add me to MSN : weeseng85@hotmail.com

special price for LYN watercooling geng!!!!

bay reservoirs tend to have leaks from the barbs. worst is HDPE res, youll never know how tight to screw it in cuz the threads can expand.

silicone sealant will work fine. just use the white type, not the translucent one.

agree with you on that as my res (Thank you sooo much OP for the pain) has started to leak again. Will have to look for epoxy adhesive and redo the damned babrs again to stop the leak. Leak is so bad that I'm loosing like 1 liter for 4 days.

Allan, show me how it looks like and the dimensions and we'll talk, seriously

ok now that i know where to get blackice rads..im in a dilemma..i plan to get the 3x120 rads so i can use a low cfm fan to minimize noise..but i dont know if i should get the pro or the extreme..afaik the pro is thinner and gives good airflow and the extreme is thicker and restricts airflow..but since i plan to get a 3x120 the surface area itself is big enough to dissipate a lot of heat..and the price diffrence is rm100 which is a lot..any suggestions on which to get?

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

Lookslike Swiftech's gone and done it again. New WB coming out soon and it's called the Apogee. Here's what I managed to grab from XS

putui.........
just got the storm and now.........
this s2pid apooogeeeeee

lets just hope the speculation by cathar is correct, and the storm still beats it

yeah hope so too..ppl just started playing with the storm and now this "apogee" comes out claiming this and that..as they say..have to wait till individual testing to verify swiftech`s claims..i have a good feeling that the storm will beat it too hihi..because im getting one..anyways i`ll be getting the bip..now wait itu luit masuk..
