Well, I've never tried any other VGA block so I can't compare. I'm really happy with the results though. For a cheap product that's only 100+ bux it works a charm. My 68GT used to peak at about 90+C. On hot days can reach 95C. With the Aquarius II the peak temps r only at max 55C on hot days. I can only say I'm really happy with the 40C drop.

must use coolant with batt water. coz batt water is deionised. if no coolant then it's gonna corrode the blocks.

DIY store in 1Utama new wing. ACE hardware in Ikano oso got. Imported hoses. Very clear, very nice tubes oni bout rm1 per foot.

No brand but it has the hose diameters n sum stuff printed on it.

Hard as hell? I think u all looking at the hard white plastic tubes kar? I'm using the clear ones from DIY shop in 1Utama n it's really nice n soft. Can bend u shape without kinking man. Mebe ACE different stock now. Go DIY new wing 1Utama n check that out. My 3/8"ID 1/2"OD costs only 90 sen a foot.

Sumwhere there lar. It's a huge DIY shop. The hoses r right at the back of the shop.

Hey dont laugh. There haf been many reports of failures due to heat. They had to revise the 2nd batch to resolve the overheating probs of the 1st batch.

If u want good solid reliability without worrying then get an Eheim pump.

Haha. U want sexy cable ties kar? Go ACE hardware, they even haf UVreactive colors man. Blue, yellow, green, pink semua ada.

Phuiyoh! Y on earth u need to water cool a Ti4200?



Not bad lar that kit. Just that most of the reviews complain the pump is waaaaaay too small. N that silly fan on top of the CPU waterblock is just plain..................................silly. We WC to get rid of fans man, sumore wanna put fan kar?



That's y Malacca is not the capital of malaysia.



That's y lar. Pump cannot play play 1. Just buy a proper DD pump or if cannot find then go aquarium shop n buy the Eheim 1048. IIRC, Metalzone got 1 extra pump in his bulk. Quickly sapu that 1 man.

Mebe they buy all those things to cool down the fishtank so the fish happy? Hahahahhaa.

Uglyvamp is selling a similar type of res. But his is anodized alu exterior. Very nice oso. Price oso cheap, IIRC it's oni 150. Just after I bought my TT water tank oni I saw it. If not wudda bought that instead. Hollowbean's looks better in acryl though.

The 1 that vamp is selling is alu exterior according to the site info. They sed it's actually acrylic tube inside the alu skin. Dono how true that is though.

50+ is definitely abnormal man. Mebe try flashing ure mobo. Mine's at 2.25Ghz right now n all night long gaming only brings it up to 37C. N ure WC is so much more canggih than mine.

I still think sumthins wrong sumwhere. Ure using a BIX2, 1/2"tubes, MCP655 n Storm block man. Sumore stock speed. How can the temp still so high?

I'm using the Aquarius too. Looks like theres no restriction actually. It's a U channel design cut into the block. There's no jet impingement, no pins to create any restriction.

Just thought I'd share this with u guys. Of late the weather has been really , really hot. Excruciatingly hot in fact. N my CPU load temps haf even gone up due to the higher air temps. My load temps were on 37C b4 the current hot spell. Now it goes up to 39C. Prime95 n hours of gaming shows the same temps of 39C max.

So I went n got myself a 2nd 120X38 NMB fan for the rad. I bought it from an electronics shop. I didn't know the specs n all but it looked really good plus it was a known brand so I just went ahead n bought it. It came with 3 wires but no plug, just bare wires. Red, black n white so I presumed it had speed sensing too. Checked with Allngap n sure enuf he too sed it was speed sensing. With Allngaps advice I hooked it up to a spare molex plug I had.

After plugging into my spare PSU for testing, 1st reaction was OMG! What kinda monster did I buy???? It was a monster. Flow was fantastic but the sound was almost at Delta levels. I did sum searching on the NMB site n found the spec sheet. 118CFM at 12V. No wonder. I only need the fan to match the Panaflo 120X38 @ 70CFM that's oredi on the rad. So I did more research on how to devolt the fan. Finally I devolted the fan to 7V n the sound level is about the same as the Panaflo. I guess that at about half the voltage it shud be about 70-80 CFM thereby matching the Panaflo roughly. The NMB is still louder than the Panaflo. What I did was to mount the NMB inside the case n the Panaflo on the outside where it mounts to the top of the case. This reduced the sound a fair bit too. So now the system sounds a lil bit louder than b4 but for the 4C drop I reckon it's well worth it.

Here's a pic of my dual fan set up now inside the top of my case.






The max temp now is at only 35C. Fantastic results for a rm16 fan n a few hours job to redo the rad to a push pull config n also the rewiring n such. I wud say the experiment has paid off big time. I never knew a push pull config can make such a huge difference of 4C off the peak temp.

U can get the Eheim 1250 from the pet shop in Ikano. They also haf the 1046 n 1048 for those on a lower budget n require less performance.

BTW Uzairi, here's the mounting plate u asked me to make for ure old Aleck water block. I just completed it. I've given it a nice frosted edge too. U just need to put a LED next to the edge n voila! The whole edge is gonna glow. Howzabout that for sum bling bling on an old waterblock? I also gaf it a lil polishing to make the base shine again.

Here's sum pix for u.

Old Aleck block.

Here's the bling bling pix.

5mm acrylic. Drilled pilot hole then jigsaw the hole. After that I grind it nicely with dremel.

IMHO 5mm shud b more than enuf.
