OK, now fixed up my pump and it's working and temps so far are good. 44C at load temps but will have to see how it goes as the AS5 is still fresh on it. Probably need the 200 hours start and stop before I'll see any real effect. Owh BTW swapped the fan to Panaflo's. A darn sight more silent now

QUOTE(fendii @ Nov 21 2005, 08:53 PM) Hmm my advice to newbies venturing to w-cool their systems, get quality & not pre-made budget kits .. The worse thing happened when I was using WC, my soundcard and my 9600XT burnt. RM1K down the drain from a leaking ThermalTake Bigwater waterblock  It wasnt leaking from the orifice but rathar a weird & sad place which is the miniscule gap between the acrylic & the copper block.. Weird because i have never disassembled the waterblock on the 1st place, sad because the water dripped on to the LGA processor bay & fried together with it an ES chip & the mobo itself. http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn01172rx.jpg i guess no more WC for me- *sniff*********************** The water came out from the loosen hose clamp.. Damn!! I feel sad with your lost man.. |

of course if you're a bit hesitate or in doubt get the thicker ones and join the sexay tube club |

QUOTE well, i'be been using it for a 1.8m Hmax till 3.6m Hmax pump and so far the walls're ok, almostthere've been using the same tube for years but with a 1.8m Hmax pump and still it's okay. A tip about using the tygons is that soaked em in a pail of hot water b4 bending/fixing it to the blocks, rads, res etc. it'll soften up the tube thus make it easier to mold, hot water not boiling water ok. |
