@AoiNatsume
Have u got ur D-Tek installed and running ???

I'm dying to see the result .. coz I know I would be lazy to install it within this week even though I've got it already.

Haven't collect it yet, it's at reception of my accommodation ...

@amd_hardcore

Just for you men, haven't install yet.

Had a virus attack yesterday so busy with re installation but went into trouble after realized that my CPU score in 3DMark06 is half of what I should scored.








Extra 2 pairs of D-Tek High flow 1/2" Water bart.


D-Tek Accelerator Nozzle Kit


Very nice and secured worm clamp .....


A pair of Yate Loon fans for testing only. Too bad doesn't comes with speed sensor.

It's to concentrate the water flowing direction to focus on the cpu die ...

Hence more water is flowing at greater pressure passing through the CPU die area before it spread and flow out from the block ....

So far I noticed immediate few degrees on difference for both idle and load ..

I'm not sure how better it could get after the thermal paste is sit in properly..

Besides I used up my MX-1 already .. so have to get a tube of MX-2 soon..

Current result:
On D-Tek
Idle 29c load 38c

On Apogee GT
Idle 34c load 44c

hahah, that's why Laing pump is a must for a complete loop..

one never know when they gonna upgrade the block to something more restrictive or added another block into cooling loop..

that's why when comes to water cooling, invest good in once rather than partially upgrade.. coz there's really not much of new releases through out each year....

thanks for the info dude, manage to get rid of the bubble by lying down my case in different direction ... after while it gets better ... and finally back to normal state. ..

as for the barbs, there are beautiful men ...... works well and the worm drive clamp really awesome ...

however after I read some review, 3/8 tubes works about the same like 1/2 tubes ...

So, I'm thinking to change to 3/8 and smaller system in the future ....

@Metalzone
Totally agree men, but I think I could live with 1/2 tubes in standard ATX setup..

Unless I got for M-Atx setup then probably I would look into 3/8 setup..

But right now, there's still no strong point to get new hardwares ...


@Lexus65
There are but very few manufacturer got it right now ...

I remember I saw one brand from a HK PC mag ...

But the barb itself already cost quite some of money ...

hahah .. actually by using powerful pump like Laing series, the gap between small and large tube setup is less than 1.5 degree.

So u could just be assure that quick fitting connector would work just fine ....

Me myself thinking of building a smaller WC rig after graduate ... hahha a long time to wait ...

wakao ... dude .... what happened ??

This is not a good christmas gift men ...

was ur card running while the water leaked ... ???

hmm then fuzion better or GTX better ???

hmm ... one of the review I read EK perform same like D_TEK with nozzle accelerator.

but overall all these blocks about the same level of performance ..

so it's no big deal .... EK supreme is cheaper than D-Tek with nozzle .. but yet perform at the same level.

obviously it's a better buy .....

hahah it's ur pump that wasn't ur luck lah bro ..

Apogee GT is a good block loh ....

heheh .. that's why a good pump is the heart of water cooling setup ..

better use something that is more reliable ...

It more like concentrating the water flow .. toward the CPU die ...

hehe .. u are here finally.

There's no top one brand .. it's always about picking up right component to fit ur case ....

In general good brands got, EK, Alphacool, Swiftech, Danger Den, D-Tek and others which is not easily to source for.

hahah better list out the price as well men ..

It would help him to understand better .....

muhahah .. prepare RM1K .... coz tubes and coolant also cost money as well...

Yah for both size and price right ??? hahahah

When comes to water cooling it just all about single investment and really last for long period ... coz it's hard to have breakthrough in water cooling ...

I used the same setup until now, never got complaint of it's performance ...

only the hassle of installing and maintaining is the down side .. .

but once it's done properly .... no doubt should be given to its performance.. as long as invested right from beginning.

that's just so much for a beginner to learn I guess ...

it's a good advice for everyone as well ....

U could get Cooltrek, Alphacool, Swiftech or ThermolChill P.A. series ...

Tube wise u could get Clearflex or Masketeer ... I prefer Masketeer due it's transparency ..

Tube size and barb u could could do follow matching:

Barb: 3/8 Tube: 3/8
Barb: 1/2 Tube: 1/2

Just make sure the Barb thread size fit ur radiator as well.. commonly labeled as 1/4 or G4 size ....

I only recognized Gigabyte Water Cooling kit as value for money kit ...

others just hard to recommend ..
