aik...suda bigwater ka...put up some pics la bang...syok sket 

You want to know why temps increase?It's cos the pump is only working around 7v instead of the full 12v voltage it needs for max efficiency. And for Bigwater, I'd not recommend going major and using it to cool the VGA and the NB too at the moment as the pump has barely enough flow and head pressure to even cope with those stresses

Now this is something I found over at Asetek's site

Gulpppp....

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...

Bang Antonio, semknyer rig..huuhuu...anyway kalo pakai stacker, ada cara nak pendekkan gila loop tuh. Nih gambar dia as it's worth a 1000 words

^.. ehem-ehem.. upstairs is showing off his rig... just wait till the G4 get into action.. if not mebbe a G-string will do .

Yes mr anthonio.. shorten those "cacing" tubes a bit it'll increase your heads pressure.

Just for reference, the specific weight of water is at 9.81 kN/m(cube)

Antonio, rasa kena buat drastic measure sikit whereby you have to do an upside down mobo configuration (You didn't notice meh in my pics the difference?) and from there work out ur tubings so that the pam to block length is about 5"-6" camtuh baru ada improvement. If my AXP Mobile 2.5Ghz can do steady 45C all day at full load using a DD Maze 4, I'd be very disappointed if I got temps like yours.

Buang laaa kipas Smartfan tuh and use some Delta's or Pabst's baru ada cool down of the Rad itself.

Erkkk...bant anotnio....rima gua tengok PC ko nih...huhhuuh

Anyway if temps don't imporve, try converting the Stacker to Semi-BTX which means you flip the whole motherboard pan 180 degrees so that the processor and the radiator kat bawah. That way the pump is very close to the block. You might gain a lot in terms of pressure to supply to the bloock. It's quite easy to do. Just need to unscrew about 12 screws at the motherboard pan's base. IF tak fit flush, just saw the crossmember besi just below the upper PSU slot and it'll fit just nice and won't be noticeable as it will be concealed by the PSU backpanel of the stacker.

And CM punya UV fan? Mak aih, that fan very low cfm laa wei. Dah laaa rad Tt tuh very restrictive. Get that delta I see on the left fitted on instead, sure tak rugi wan

erm... antonio_zth, u might wanna try arrange ur cable nicely... the air cant seem to ventilate or move well inside...

Antonio. have u ever noticed any improvements in fan stacking? i tried once before one CM aluminium pushing and the TT fan pulling. maybe i got 1 degree diff at the usual fan speed i use. but that could be because of normal flux in temp.

i buy another rad from moderno and well got a 3-4 degree drop and i run fans much slower now. heh happy camper here.
reading from aerogate2 probe as close as possible to the core and with a wad of as5 on it. typical temp now are 10 degrees above ambient (from thermometer on table) during idle, which used to be 13 about.

post temps after ur lapping man. i also curious. the block look ok to me so i lazy to lap it .

Wahai member member sekalian....

My hunt for a good rad continues..

In theory and from MS Eyeball processing... ini benda (sarjan say oil cooler) boleh jalan or not for my config?

Size is:
160mmX120mmX32mm

Other parts (repeat again)
MCP655
Storm --> K8 winnie
Maze4 Acetal or MCW55 --> 68GT scorching hot.

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

i finally bought bigwater and getting around 55 at load.

i am thinking of replacing the pump. any idea where and what better pump to get for bigwater kit ?

simpan dululah the asetek one...nanti i convert to 7800gtx one day nanti....then can used again... huhuhu...   

what's the water hose 'berjuntai-juntai' inside ur stacker there bang?... ehehe...      that one pun WC gaks...ekeke
i'm not that so lucky...

btw @ianho : the aquarius II waterblock based on ur experience nice or not in cooling down the gpu?

yo... WC pro, may i ask where can i found a good quality tubing around KL area?? Tygon very hard to find...

thanks

DIY store in 1Utama new wing. ACE hardware in Ikano oso got. Imported hoses. Very clear, very nice tubes oni bout rm1 per foot.
