CM coolant ler. Kena brainwashed by ianho and the shop fella. The shop dood claims that the CM and TT coolant's good. His shop basically have a couple of display units that's been running for ages...the bigwater...gigabyte...a diy on CM coolant and the forgot-the-name kit that was using those funky copper rads a few pages back. The latter was using a greenish coolant which he claims was same as the hydrx and there's some funky stuff in the res already.

Oh...T-line seems to be in fashion now..so using that ler. Managed to find a brass T in the plumbing shop. Looks like should do although the ID could be a lil bigger.
Save space mar... my objective is not the most uber temps but quiet, better-than-air temps and tidily bling tongue.gif

Where did you order from?

Ya guys should try sidewinderscomputer..the stuffs sold there ain't as exotic as frozencpu or such and Gary (the dood there) is kinda busy at times but always reply his mail before the next day (unlike the others) and best of all... freakin fast.
I made my latest order and paid via paypal on Monday and it arrived in exactly a week using global express (not even Fedex).  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
And you're the only dood here that uses both a res and a t-line...hahahaha..

i ordered form metalzone`s bulk...hydrx has caused some build-up on other ppls systems so i wouldnt get that..i plan to fuel my wc with a mix of battery water+automotive coolants and for a lil bling i`ll add a few drops of neon dye to make it uv reactiv

Yup I can tell u that the Hydrx really does get funky. Hahaha. I had it in for a week n there was oredi weird stuff. There was a funny looking powdery kinda substance at the bottom of the cup when I drained it out. This powdery stuff has been reported by many users of Hydrx on the net too. The hoses were screwed big time too. They had a brownish kinda coating that looks like I ran Milo tru my loop. Hahaha.

Sniper, go get the plastic Eheim T joint. Very big n nice. It's size is written as 16/22 on the label. N yeah I must b the dumbest guy with T joint n res. laugh.gif Basically using the T joint to make life easier so I can top up the res by just poppin open the 5.25" bay cover n refilling tru the tube which extends out of the casing so there wont b any accidents while topping up.

systemcooling's review on the Apogee is out and I can only say one word about it..."owned"

oh my...even the mcw6000 performs better than the apogee..i think swiftech is seriously screwed up in their decision making when they decide to claim that the apogee "may" peoform better than the storm..and the testing that the reviewer did was quite comprehensive so i`d say that the results are in fact conclusive of the apogee`s performance.

Haha. My MCW6000 still rocks. N to think I was contemplating the Apogee as my next step up later.

Theoretically yes...it's possible the setup. and the Delrin top is one of the few options available to mod the DDC. I found a few more at an aussie site

the ddc pump is quite versatile eh?maybe because it has a square top therefore its easy to mod whereas the d5 has a more difficult "shape" to do anything to it..not that it needs improvement or anything though ..its amazing that the lph goes all the way up to 500 after the mod

blink.gif gulp. notworthy.gif .... 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 brows.gif?

So quickly fix that thing and show us result.

Gonna put the rad at the intake's position so have to relocate the HDD's to the 5" bays instead and since I have only 4 x 5" bays in total, need to create a cage to save space and the dampened the vibration.

Pump's gonna be at the bottom of course.

Thinking of the shortest route being pump --> VGA --> CPU --> rad --> T-line.

i think the more pressure-friendly setup is to pump water without any interruption to the highest point and let it flow down.

the theory is the same, like putting an elbow directly at the pump outlet will kill the pressure immediately due to the immediate decceleration after the pump is pumped out.

what do u think almostthere ?

biggrin.gif .. you mean just like the sargeant's set up? brows.gif 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. sweat.gif

The sarjan adviced against VGA --> GPU as well..

Thing is...that's the most convenient route and I'm not concerned about the CPU temps.

Even with air, I'm only getting about 44C load. It's the GPU that I'm most concerned about.

My question is.. isn't the rad's efficiency the determining factor here rather than CPU or GPU first...since after all it is a loop. unsure.gif

That's why I advised an experimental loop of the following for such a setup

Pump > VGA > RAD > CPU

should be an efficient setup as the GPU will be the one that will have the biggest heat dump since it's gonna be OC'ed liked no one's business (knowing sniper himself)
