That fella's been MIA and Din can't reach him yet. So Prodi9y's out of the race at the moment. Me at the best will have mine up and running on the 14th itself

Yes, if the pumps designed to be submerged, it requires to be submerged so as to keep it within operating temperature otherwise you'd risk imminient pump failure

Indeed, surest bet would be Nirox P2800 and CyberAqua. The rest I'm not sure although I've seen Eheim 1250 replica's lately gpoing for RM100 like that

Cammm siallllllllllllllllllllll....jaga ko amok..jaga ko...kita tengok temp sapa lagik rendah pasnih

wa sulah cakap....mau pakai BIX kena airflow tinggi...you want to use that sucky CM fan sila laa....jangan nanti my BIP with a Delta 120 x 25 mm fan shows lower temps then yours then you're gonna regret a whole lot

Son, in case you don't know yet, pak sniper t3h pimp is a fan expert who's on a silence fetish which at times penings me cos he demands good temps too. And blower fan are never a good idea unless you want an irritating humm which gets nworse at higher speeds and not to mention the space it takes.

I told sniper just get a BIX if he can find one but he's always being impatient as there's a lack of stock from US online stores for it. And the Nirox P2800 can surprise you a lot TJye. Me and amok have used it against the other higher rated sub 100 pumps and found it to be the best in comparison due to the amount of vibration, reliabillity, as well as the ever irritating heat dump. And Nirox P3800, they are lousy, big time. And where you saw the submerged pumps being installed as inline? In the tips and tricks? Those aren't very thermally efficient as they're actually damn hot after 6 hours continuous use. Trust me as amok lent it to me and used some of them

Tolong jangan off-topic sekalian...thread cleaned up

Hai amok...tak cukup tygons ker macam tergantung jer D4 tuh...shian dia......wait next week when I hook up mine I'll see how it goes

Forgot to mention, you're supposed to let it dry 2 hours first then apply another layer to make sure all pin hole leaks are cured and fully cure it for 12 hours before using it. Sorrryyyyy

Hahahahahaha...prodi9y's rig pimped by me

Here's the initial build. strangely getting higher temps then last time. Will have to look at it later


Normal temps 47C but load at 49c. So what amok said about temp differences is true. But Why the high normal temps? have to figure this out once I'm free to disassemble it (and also fix a leaky res...grrrr)

allan, air masuk mana keluar mana? Give more detailed pics cos I'm kinda interested too. Getting rather irritated with this res of mine actually

agree with you on that as my res (Thank you sooo much OP for the pain) has started to leak again. Will have to look for epoxy adhesive and redo the damned babrs again to stop the leak. Leak is so bad that I'm loosing like 1 liter for 4 days.

Allan, show me how it looks like and the dimensions and we'll talk, seriously

Lookslike Swiftech's gone and done it again. New WB coming out soon and it's called the Apogee. Here's what I managed to grab from XS

Arghhhh...stupid pump decided to leak due some hairline crack so patching it up with silicon gunk and hope for the best. Darn thing doesn't have the pressure to push out the airlocks and it's pissing me off. Another 2 hours wait...sigh

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

A lousy pic of my setup for now. 1/2" ID tygons bebeh

babyelf, if you can source them out, Panaflo's are the one's to go for interms of cfm Vs. noise. I'm using one of those and I swear I at times forget that my rig's up and running as it's that silent (Well it is compared to my old Delta Triblade 25mm which looks like below)

Here we go again. No disrespect to you, but you should have done some research here before going water. If you read properly, there's NO way bar a total overhaul can you improve the temps. Many have ditched their Bigwater's for a DIY setup or (I can't believe I'm saying this cos ianho will kill me) Corsair's HydroCool set. The reason's for Bigwater's weakness:

1. Horrible pump with poor headpressure and flowrates
2. Very simple and inefficient waterblock
3. Poorly airflow restrictive and waterflow unrestrictive tube and fin based radiator
4. And the biggest flaw of all, 1/4" ID tubings

Well allan. those 2 fans I've mentioned are yours actually. The triblade was the one I bought from you and the Panaflo was the one you sold to another MMU Melaka student a year ago but he never got to use it.

Good on you mate. Let us know if you run to any problems or better still PM us if you need any assistance

Update on my rigs setup. After letting the AS5 settle down and fix all the air leaks, full load temps ahve improved a lot. Load temps are 42C now (Assisted by the fact that I opened up the back cover of the pump's housing and fixing on a fan to draw away the heat from the Cyber Aqua pump which gained me another 3C due to reduced heat dump)

Told you those Japan-made Panaflo's were awesome. Best buy one can ever have in terms of fans
