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.

Yeah and since it's acrylic, I'm not so worried. Anodised aluminium...tsk tsk tsk tsk.......wouldn't risk my rig on it

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.

Guys any good water cooling system recommended? I saw a demo in ALL IT look pretty cool. Any Comment???

hey guys.....
I've installed everything together already......
my 655 + g4 + double HC
all in 1 loop leak testing now.

I've got something to ask...
I'm using filtered water insted of distilled water, so any drawbacks?
The next thing is how do I know that all the ait bubbles is gone?
Coz at first the pump is pretty noisy then it settles down. Just some minor humming noise, so does that mean the air bubbles are all gone?

It took me a bout 1 hour to fill up the system through the T-line.......pretty tiring but I'm happy that I've put together the system finally.

back then i use to spread AS5 on to the processor like spreading butter on a bread. but after reading the guide, now i know that you just need a small dab at the center and press the blocks on top .

Ok Strom G4 users, there's a rev. 2 around the corner from Swiftech. Excerpts taken from XS here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89745



and confirmed by Gabe of Swiftech

Triple core ? Ure wayyyy tooo advanced sargeant.. Dont u think so ? Who's the one saying its a legend ? I think i have the pictures at the Watercooling club thread which can be found here at post 53 and 56 but i cant get that temp anymore now maybe because malacca is cooler than cyberjaya ? --> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=41021&st=40

Wow.. a nice one. Would want to get my hands on this item.

p/s: My Watercooled Stacker project has stopped for some financial reason so i'll post it when its ready to be revealed.

Looks like a G7 top

Great!




finally, finished setup for my first loop.

DDC pump---> Coolwave 120.2 rad---> Alphacool NexXxos XP--->Reservoir

Opty 170 2.8g@1.35v
Idle: 37'C
Load:46'C (stressPrime)
room:32'C

great... now oni need a casing.. heheh, btw, mebbe you can shorten the line a bit, might gain a few cm heads.

This is what I've got with Storm + D5 + double HC with nidec @ 5v

did i see 53 degrees Celsius?

Yes............. this is pretty depressing....................
It just beat my stock heatsink by 7 deg C

honestly... looking at ur amount of overclocking... it looks like smtg's wrong...

when u were on the P2800 what was the results?

but then again... it might be possible that the onboard probe is way out of calibration. try a seperate temp probe.

I can only say is this Tjye. Time to remount it. It's definitely that. I'm clocking 2.4Ghz and temps don't hit past 45C on a hot day

yeah... exactly what came to my mind at 1st. looks like a bad mount.

remounting it again when I wake up in the morning
but I have to say my mobo temps are always on the high side, even on xp-90 last time my temps are abnormally higher than other ppl.
I'm not sure is it because of my oc that time or my temp probes.

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.
