QUOTE(ernie ball @ Aug 11 2005, 09:10 AM) Em, i'm new to water cooling, so i really need something simple,and works well. Recently i have a bit of extra cash to spare, so i contemplated to buy either a CoolerMaster Mini Aquagate or Bigwater 12cm (i can only find non-SE model atm). Or i could also choose a Tt Big Typhoon (read about the great performance). Bigwater non-se have pump failure problem??But i found one disturbing news from lyn, the Tt bigwater non-SE had a high RMA rate because of pump failure. The contrasting fact is many Bigwater users swear by bigwater. May i have a confirmation on this? About Mini Aquagate 12cm model, i did google around, but all i could find is very biased reviews, most of which compares the performance of Aquagate to very outdated heatsinks or even stock heatsinks (who use stock anyway). The same case applies to Bigwater. And most importantly, i didn't find a review done by the more reputable websites (overclockers.com or tomshardware.com) What is better, aquagate or bigwater? Since the price is so similar. Or should i not get a water cooling at all? I'm currently using CAK4-88t, i swapped the fan for 3 bladed Tt at very low fan speed for quieter pc. The temp i got is mere 37c web surfing and 42-43c full load. Before you complain my temp is inaccurate, please take note, i heavily underclocked my processor and it only throttle to full speed in heavy load conditions. Even at full speed the Vcore is only 1.375v-~40w max heat dissipation. Even the passively cooled CM NB cooler (Zalman clone) and my fancooled WD hdd is much hotter than the heatsink. I really need a honest review, aside from the fanboyish review and the biased review of the unreputable websites. I'm sorry if i threaded on anyone's foot. Please advise. is it true?? luckily i have no problem with it...  if u r free enough to change water regularly, u may try using a watercooling kit... if not, u better stick with air cooling.... |

hm.... seems like have to soak the whole unit into a big pail of coolant and run the pump and everything inside the coolant then remove the pump and connect back the tube after all the air is gone
sounds silly but thats wut i think how it will work.... |

r u using all the tubing that come with the kit?
try to cut the tube shorter so that its just long enough to connect to waterblock, pump and radiator... no need to lap the waterblock as the waterblock is quite nicely lapped... lapping it would help but i dont think u will earn another couple of celsius.... 1 more thing, installing the rad inside the casing will be better cause the tube can be shorten more... |

QUOTE(ah_fong @ Oct 3 2005, 10:21 PM) erm... !! how to take out the water from the radiator cpu black and the pump without pouring out the coolant??? wut do u mean??i refer to the manual doesnt's teach to take out the water punya!! anyone use big water? u wanna pour out the water but dont wanna pour out the coolant??? its impossible to do that as the water and coolant is mixed.... if u wanna take out water, u really have to pour it out... but its gonna be hard to pour out all water if u didnt take off any tubing unless u disconnect the tubing at the pump intake then it will be easier to pour out... my suggestion is this: if u wanna disconnect tubing and change water, then just disconnect it and pour it out the plug back the tubing and refill.... if u dont wanna disconnect the tubing but wanna change water, u can just pour out the water stored in the pump, refill it to its full, run it for a while, then pour the water out again and repeat the same thing several time, then most water will be changed.... after that just refill it and add in some coolant.... |
