Hope to share some of my questions here n hope to get any comment or advice.

1. Can somebody share with me, besides the ability to connect different size of tubings in a line, what is the other reason of using compressing fitting in terms of practically but not asthetically.

2. I've seen many modders like to use compression fittings or, degreed rotary fittings between the connection of C.P.U. waterblok and MOSFET waterblock and chipset waterblock.

3. Is there any reason to use compression fitting to connect a 1/2" ID tube to a G1/4" fitting?

4. I'm currently using the 1st gen Apogee waterblock on my LGA775 (Pentium D 920) but upgrading to LGA1366 (i7 975), should I keep on using this block with compatible back plate or upgrade to Apogee XT? Would I be able to decrease the temp. significantly by upgrading the c.p.u. waterblock to a higher performance 1?

5. For R3E, do I really need to liquid cool it?

Thts it in 1 go, sorry for asking too many questions in 1 shot.

250cfm , U'r talking bout one fan or multiple fans? Noise level?

Thank You Sir for the advices.

Since U suggested tht by changing to a higher performance waterblock wouldn't really decrese the c.p.u. temperature significantly, what if add a X-Changer 360 (low F.P.I.) or a Black Ice GTX Gen 2 Xtreme 360 (high F.P.I.) to my existing MCR-240 radiator, would tht be better than to replace the waterblock since the price gap between both the mentioned radiators n the Apogee XT is not too far?

I believe the optional mounting kit for socket 1366 of the Apogee GT, AP-GT-CI7, is compatible with Apogee since both waterblocks r identical in dimensions besides the internal of the copper base plate. Juz tht I'm not sure whether they r still producing this mounting kit.

forgot 2 inform bout the GTX295 has been part of the liquid cooling loop . So, a 360 radiator or Apogee XT?

Other than EK, is there any other options on the R3E waterblock?

Brader Ong, so how? I have limited budget to expand the liquid loop , wanna help me make decision? Radiator or waterblock?

If I'm going for radiator, how m I gonna find the AP-GT-CI7 LGA1366 mounting kit for the Apogee?

I guess many would hv already known that the Black Ice GTX Gen 2 Xtreme 360 is most of the time more expensive than the X-Changer 360 huh. Any1 had bad experience with this Black Ice GTX Gen 2 Xtreme 360? Mr. Ong? I know it's Philippine made but I'm kindda like the Black Ice GTX Gen 2 Xtreme 360 due to it's thick and high f.p.i. design meant for high c.f.m. fans.

Any1? Radiator of waterblock?

This Mr. Ong is convincing me to build a RM10K cooling system. Aku mau report polis da ni.

Aren't U talking bout the RX series radiator? Despite thick in dimension but the RX has low f.p.i. design which I'm not kindda fun on it.

Only Feser?

Feser has low f.p.i. cooling fins if I'm to use Feser I would rather go for quite fan instead of high c.f.m. fan cuz I'm kindda believe low f.p.i. radiators r more suitable for watercooling modders who prefer quiter operation.

Which 1 would u prefer? low f.p.i. radiator with quite fan OR high f.p.i. radiator with high c.f.m. fan?

Added on June 22, 2010, 10:25 pmUrs is the 1st gen GTX (Black Ice Xtreme) or the Black Ice GTX Gen Two Xtreme? 20 f.p.i.? How high is the dispersion V'r talking bout.

It can be used in Stealth mode 1 ma, can't it?

How do U find the build quality of it?

The D12SH-12 generates only 88 c.f.m. n yet kindda noisy at 40dBA. Eik, vat is the static pressure of this fan huh?

Y not U consider using the Scythe SY1225SL12SH (1,900 rpm version), more than 110 c.f.m. but at lower 37dBA.

Not to mention 40dBA, even at 37dBA I don't feel comfortable dy, my PC is located at the living room, sometimes wanna take a short nap also cannot due to the noise frm the fan.

800W of heat dispersion for a 4x120 radiator alone? Sounds awesome .

I heard bout static pressure being 1 of the criteria on heat exchange but appreciate if sum1 can tell me how does this static pressure work in helping heat exchange to achieve better efficiency?

My guess is high static pressure fan is required only on high f.p.i. radiators only or I was wrong?

Gentle Typhoon huh, I'm gonna go find out more.....

Cooler means vat? Lower boiling point?

I believe the automotive coolants hv rust proofing agent as most of the coolants for pc watercooling but are they having the same specific heat capacity?

interesting.

Has any1 tried tht?

Vat if using Feser One in automotive cooling system? Overheat?

So if I'm to use copper waterblock with nickel-plated EK R3E mobo waterblock, since these two r 2 different metal thus fasten the corrosion process.

Any suggestion for me? Or is there non nickel-plated one?

Thanks owikh84, U've juz reminded me back to vat V have learnt back in those 2ndary school days.

My guess is tht it has sumthing to do to with the electrolysis process between two different molecules (or maybe I should say ions due to charged molecules r consider ions). But since distilled water is w/o any charges (molucule), I guess there wouldn't be the process said above huh. I simply "tembak" wan, can sum1 correct me?

Base on the attached table, I believe V should be able to use the combination of Cu and NI components with distilled water huh.

Nickel PLATED ma. Can I say NI has more resistance to corrosion? Any1?

I don't think their the same. Brass = Cu + Zn, alloy.

Base on the table given by owikh84, the electronegativity of Zn and Cu = 1.7 and 1.9 respectively. Brass is a combination of Zn n Cu, I don't really feel comfortable to use it with pure Cu or NI.

Those brass barbs U were talking about, r they meant for WC PC?

Sounds like U have flow gauge integrated into Ur loop huh.

Which Bitspower barb U were refering to? Shiny wan? Matte black wan? Or the True Silver wan?

I suppose the shiny wan is made of chrome plated brass, the rest I'm not pretty sure.

I think the True Silver can use it as anti-microbial huh .

Can use 99.99% silver jewerlly frm granma, dump it into the reservoir.

If I'm not mistaken, the Shiny wan is crome plated not silver. I think U were talking bout the True Silver wan huh?

How do U clean the internal of full coverage graphic waterblock and mobo waterblock? Donoe can soak it with WD-40 not?
