Moderno, u shud get a spare PSU n turn on the WC without booting the PC mah. Then let the WC run for few hours with tissue paper put at all the joints to look for leaks. If everything's good then only boot up the PC.

yalohh...it's quite a valuable experience for me... tongue.gif

btw..the asetek gpu water block cannot fit my x600 there...due to the mounting holes on x600 more smaller than permissible mouitng on the gpu waterblock there...

hurm...i wonder if TT Aquarius II waterblock could hop in and maximize the loop rolleyes.gif

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.

Any GPU wb would do good depending on the price. You can try The DD Maze 4 GPU but its costs more a bit than others.

all thanks to ur advice amok... thumbup.gif

the maze4 looks good but mahal la... mebbe i'll go for the aquarius, but from a review i read it said that the the water channel in the WB is only abt 5mm deep and since i'm using 1/2" tubing it might kill the flow rate..

what do u guys think?

edit: can my nirox handle a TDX and a GPU block?
