Whoaa , they do a modded top 350s? Or someone did for you? by the way cross fingers oso, wanna see some results.
.. or is it time to upgrade the 486DX ?

oooooooo lidat... and I thought swifties do the 90o mod fer ya...

Well hellooo ladies..

.... erk what's in the cooler master box? and t-joint or resevoir?

gulp. .... uncle sniper- uncle sniper, now that's a serios shit water pump + mod... oh.. sorry we're not allowed to type shit, .... or can we?

The best part about the MCP350 is ... jeng, jeng, jeng... 8.3W Nominal power... heat dump anyone ?

So quickly fix that thing and show us result.

.. you mean just like the sargeant's set up? Yup good idea in shortening the line... since it's a closed loop set up, pressure will be the same at all point.. thus shortening the line is a very good idea.

The VGA->CPU thinggy... 're you sure about this? meaning dumping the heat from VGA to CPU.

finally wellcome to the water clan, mr ikan. , so done fixing the block yet?

IMHO... there's nothing wrong with it if it's a closed loop... only initial problem when adding liquid to the loop... such as, to get the liquid to the suction head while defying gravity... .... and might lost some discharge pressure due to the work done by the impeller to suck the liquid... but when the loop is running with zero bubble it's gonna be business as usual... why you ask? wanna put the pam/apam on the top of casing is it?

newbieockids@ the chevy heatercore is the same as Danger Den's single heatercore. I'm afraid it's not easily available through any "kedai potong" cause most continental and japs heater core need to mod the barbs.

O.T. it's really great to see the numbers of w/cooling enthusiasts are increasing.

ayo.. sorry to hear about that.. so got result?

sniper@ how's it going? sudah berjaya?

adoih.... sorry to hear bout that..

come join LYN watercooling clan it's not just a hobby, it's an addiction.

That's an impressive "Budget" watercooling set. ,

6600 w/block depends on yer budget oso, wanna good want like uzairi said get the DD Maze 4, wanna a cheap one get the aquarius one.

uzairi@ good to see you being active again in watercooling department

hrmmmm.... depends on the loop, if cpu block->gpu block ->res->pump i'll guess it will do, but the BIX2 larrr, what fan?

whoaaa uzai is goin big time on w/cooling yeah.

Tubing? ace hardware got a few decent tubes, kedai hardware... most clear tubes are silicone, rubber one mostly water hose and condoms.

IMHO opinion Distilled water or UV filtered water (the one that kills most living organism), where to get? ayo... battery water will do then... coolant depends which type, car radiator is not that good wif pc wcooling..

BIX2 needs high cfm fans to perform, otherwise even a BIP can vegetize(mensayurkan) the BIX2.

regarding TT aquarius... if you're in doubt bout the pressure drop, i'd suggest get a higher heads pump... one that can do 3.1m Hmax... but why not just give a try first with the nirox cause i'm a bit vague about your set up, if got pics

.. correctomondo mr ikan... most of the old timer w/cooler just use plain distilled water (pharmacy) or uv filltered water.. but when terdesak, battery water will do.

well, from prior experience.. with automotive additives temps are higher about 1~1.5 C... bear in mind that automotive additives are meant for anti-rust, anti-boil and anti freeze... it will of course effect the liquid properties in terms of viscocity, specific heat cap., etc... the list goes on and on..

like I said.. uzai is goin big time with his next project, ordered a Storm G4 block, cant wait, cant wait.. unlike us still using our 486DX rig

RO water???? what's R. O. stand for? Rip Off?

Distilled water is pure demineralized water which means it's pure H20 without any nutrients(which not good for drinking). It's a bit expensive last time I've got it about RM12 per 4 gallon bottle.

Mebbe the "mesin tepi kedai" Rip Off water is filltered water, check wheter it got UV bathing filtered, if got than you're good to go mebbe i'll try it myself 20sen per litter... hrmm ....

uzairi@ YEAH!!!! Long live the 486DX clan

hehey brader... long time no see... I thought you naik haji. , good to see you again, and still using the 486DX rig yes the 486DX clan still lives.

How thick is the tubing wall, if about 2mm then it's safe to use thinner on a damp cloth and wipe it off. If less than that, i'm not sure safe or not, cause it etch the tubing wall... soak the tube in soap water after wiping the marking off... but your tubing might be a bit dull.

Sorry Evo, most of us don't have the liberty of having those 3 w/blocks at one time or one at a time , if i'm not mistaken there are some reviews or round up/shoot out for those three w/blocks somewhere in the net.

And I think most of the tips and tricks regarding w/blocks, pumps etc. are already there in the pinned section compiled by the sargeant.

O.T.: and soon... metalzone bulk will complete, and this w/cooling comunity expands... fresh meat, fresh meat, fresh meat... ooppss

.... So far the best w/block in terms of availability, bang for bucks, and design is still Swifty Storm G4 by Cathar/Stu.... A G5 Little River is a bit beyond my reach...

JZZZZZ, welcome to the watercooling comunity ... The Cyber Aqua is a pond pump, which you can get at most aquarium shops... it's an ok pump but I'm not recommending it to newbies, cause of the 70W heat dump, oni in the hand of an old skool watercooler can it be fully utilized... you have to innovate your ways in dispersing the heat dump.

Oh, by the way i've just got back my VGA from RMA.. now to finish the Storm G4 test... watch this space.

O.T.: HEY! HEY! we've got our own xtreme cooling sub forums now thanx soul brader.

And my results are:

1. At house 32C ambient
Storm G4, BIX 2, D4 Pump. 2600+ MXp oced till 2.535G at 1.664Vcore.
Idle (sorry no pics) 40C
Load =


2. In office 19C ambient
Settings Same as No. 1.
Idle =

Load =


WEIRD!!!!!! but i'd luv it... still remember last time for me to get around that clock=


Still testing in progress.. I just can't figure it out why the idle temp's a bit on the high side.. but the load temps are delicious in both casses.

sorry.. it's an OEM proc so no heat sink, just jamn it up with a MAZE 4 previously. Radiator? BIX2 (Black Ice Xtreme 2) + 2 x NMB 120mm Fans. Set up Pic? aiyah malulah, ... i'm no bling2 guy, posted pics a few pages back but since in good mood here it is again.



and here is the current result, a drop of 2C, this is natural due to the arctic silver's settlin in... and whoot!!! 2.6G @ 32C!!!



amacam sarjan

A1. one caps of hydraX + 2 litre uv filtered water.
A2. Read This Link (I think sniper did post this link a few pages back)

No. it won't. The pump will last forever and ever, it will out lived you, your grandchildren and their grandchildren and their..... .. joking oni.. each pump came with a lifespan per rated usage, e.g. 50,000 hrs etc. (come to think of it it's just like those hsf).. and each pump are design for specific work which is shown by their Qmax (flow max) and Hmax (Heads Max), if it is being use to do work greater than the max Q or H, it just can't do it, simple as that.. so regarding lifespan, let say it's rated 50,000 hrs then 50,000 hrs it is wheter ON 24/7 or once a week or once a month or once every full moon, lifespan still 50,000 hrs.. I took the liberty of answering this question cause i don't think it's been asked berfore.

amok
A3 same as A2

okay, now for some serious shite... this is I think is the final OCed result from my G4 rig cause don't think my Ram can go any further and the proc is near the ramp voltage.



idle...



Can't say it's a 5C rise from idle when oc'ed cause observe the system temp.. a 2C rise (cause of sudden rain this afternoon)

neway, this is what i used to have when using the Maze4 wblock (with the same pump and rad)



Conclusion... if those who'd thinking of upgrading their w/block, well this is the "Block". For those who'd like to try watercooling.. this block is worth looking at and think of it as an investment... dang i'd felt like a newbie w/cooler when got the result of this G4.. duhhh..

one word... IMPROVISE....

I've DIYed a "radbox" look alike using a spoilt 120mm chapalang fan's housing.. pics? err mebbe later lor.

pergh... impressive result!!! Wha.. on T-Bird!!! Mannnn 486DX now becomes a 8088 rig..

Metalzone is our current bulker.. watchout cause he's got some goodies up his sleeve for those who's begining to join the water clan..... and it's really doing us all a favour.

as for pics.... had to wait a bit while, digicam not with me.


ikan_semilang@ got the tubes ledi?

O.T. Metalzone brader, sorry had'nt had the time to go to labs and aqua shops yesterday.. i'll informed when i did. T.Q.
