omg...is cool
5*120mm fan

QUDERN Posted Today, 03:07 PM
  I've got a Reserator and I've just purchased the Storm. What if the loop is very short ( Reserator -> CPU -> Reserator ) I'm all for the aesthetics of my workstation, that's why I went for the Reserator cause I do not like see tubes and pump all over the place. What pump would be suitable to be placed inside the Reserator ? I want a pump that's small enough to fit inside the Reserator like the original pump inside.

Have anyone of you tried the standard Reserator with a Storm ?

Anyway, thanks for all the input. Cheers

The MCP350(tm) 12 VDC Pump is rated at 350L/h
Maximum Integrated Water Pump for Reserator : 5 W, Qmax 300L/h
Maximum Lift  : 0.5m dammit 

Mind borrowing me for a day to see if it fits my Reserator 

Some pumps are build to run dry, if you submerge the MCP350. Prepare to RMA it. I think the best is still to change the whole setup. That is your best choice with the Storm block from Swiftech.

Btw can anyone confirm what Ohm variable resistor should I use for my MCP650 from voltage 7-12v? So far I know that I have to use 6 Ohm.

My condolenses for your dearly departed pump.

Think of the bright side lor...at least the GODS of Hardware are watching over you and the rig survived.

Ps: But boss...please lar get rid of that "SilentTower"..it's just obscene.

This is why I've always preferred AC based pumps cos at least you have to power it up 1st and know that it runs in the 1st place. And also the fact that crappy gremlins of the PSU won't really affect you

ianho....sure or not?
i use same brand wit u ler...
asikk...u running 24/7?
but my "air besar" is running 24/7 loh...no problem at all...
corsair cool jus for OC saje, not yet try 24/7 running...

Looks like u got one of the rotten apples... that 50000 hour lifespan is MeanTimeBeforeFailure or something... so maybe yours just happens to be on the wrong side of mean? Just go swap it for a new one! Mention a few times that it caused your comp to get all wet and caused you undue mental anguish... maybe they'll throw in some freebies hahaha

fulamak very dahsyat one waterblock for nvidia 6XXX cards..made of silver n only 3 of it..call it octopus..

saw this in other forum..

Perhaps the moral of the lesson here is ....

Set a conservative shutdown temp. 

  Corsair sets too. You can always ask ianho about the Corsair sets as well. For a better guide to what you should consider when getting into the WC scene, read the WC guide which me and amok have created in the sticky's section

Cheers

Not to mention all these custom made systems are of 1/2 OD/ID which is still the recommended size compared to Tt's 3/8"

lol...air besar running in my barton system 24/7
no problem til 3month....

Ok, I'm corrected over that matter. And yes, 3/8" not bad also. In fact the Europeans prefer to use that as it's a good compromise between flow rate restriction and airflow restriction if based on what I've seen so far actually. However, Cathar in Xtreme has recommended a new type of tubing which I'm not pretty clear about which is about 3/8" ID but has some property's similiar to TYgon's and has rather a smooth inner wall surface. But I'd bet that sort of tubing would cost a bomb

And ianho, I'd suggest you have a look at these charts

hey....anyone has any info on the vantec WC kit? price? availability? and most importantly reviews?

http://www.vantecusa.com/products/stg100/p_stg100.html

I think, I might try watercooling .

So after reading, I assume that the bigger the reservoir is ,the better the cooling?

The larger the radiator area, the better dissipation?
I'll be using  four 120MM fans running at 7V. Two push-two pull (any radiator can right? Car rads?)

1/2" tubes. Shorter the better, increase flow pressure?

Now what pump?
And what waterblock?
Just mau test cuba-cuba aja, tak payah too high-end la.

Maybe something that promises at least 5C drop from my XP-90C setup can adi.

Think can get everything below ....RM500?

, i dunno if it's a bit too early to have a discussion about the G4, but what the heck    .. let's get on with it... say shall we start with the suitable pump for this block:

1.  The G4 was design to give optimum Delta T with pure impingement properties to out perform the older cascade design by cathar.. which main obejctive is to achieve a higher heat transfer rate which doesn't require a higher flow rates.  Thus based on Forster's (aka Cathar) quotes at [H]ard|Forum:

"........, such as would be suitable for use with an Eheim 1046 and 3/8" ID tubing for which 2-3GPM would be the typical sort of flow rate"

2. Flow rate convert from Gallon to liter = 2G x 3.7854 = 7.5708L/min = 454.248 L/hr.. hrmmm..  even a nirox P2800 with 1200L/hr Qmax and at 1.8m Heads max at RM 28.00 will work great for this baybeh... heheh... then again lets take into consideration that a "pure" impingement design blocks are highly restrictive... even higher than those of the cascade design.. we need a good Heads to maintain that flow rate after taking into consideration the heads lost in the line and heatexchanger/rads..  Not sure if that 1.8m Heads Max will cut it 

3.  Ok lets look at the comparison chart (generated from procooling):


As you can see the G4 is in a league of its own at flow rate of higher than 1G/m or 3.7854 L/m and above and i'm comparing it with the best COMMERCIAL W/block availabe.. in my opinion, it's oso an added advantage to use a good 2000 L/hr pump to run this babey... remember it's a pure impingement design, Higher Q better Temps(oh O.T. a bit:  when it comes to performance at higher flow rate, DD RBX pwned  Swifty MCW6002 on Delta T)...

4.  Regarding the Heads Max for the pump, unfortunately, i hadn't had enough data or resources regarding the resisitivity of the block yet.. will google me self and add later.. as what TJeye reckon using a D5 on this block will be great but in my opinion wasn't necessary why? 1.  RM 3XX.00!!  2. RM 3XX.00 and 3. RM3XX.00.

Hahahahahahahahaaa... enjoy reading and let's discuss further.

All I can say is this, at any GPM rate one has in terms of pump usage, you'd still see huge gains in terms of delta values. However a question remains as to the effect of heat dump by the pump towards the block and it's implications towards it. But hey with a Delta value drop of by 4 compared to a Maze 4, who's gonna whine about it?

But I'd say the sweet point in terms of flowrates would be around the 1.5gpm mark as beyond that would be more difficult/expensive to achieve in the frist place. A D5 and overvolting it comes into mind but if you're not gonna be bench crazy, your common Nirox P2800's/Hydor L20 and and Laing MCP 350's would be more then upto task with it. Just don't mention Bigwater's pump

budget is RM400 - RM500.

I am trying if i can equip everything inside the case. i am interested with GPU water cooling as well. Do you think the cooler you have with some modification like bigger radioter can do a trick ?

and sniper, i have read the review of the mini, they are priced around RM250. But i doubt they can do better then WC-202.

about custom set, i worried about the leak. i will going to low yat this sunday, maybe i will go around and see if there is any custom set.

bay reservoirs tend to have leaks from the barbs. worst is HDPE res, youll never know how tight to screw it in cuz the threads can expand.

silicone sealant will work fine. just use the white type, not the translucent one.

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

Topic spotted here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=80366

the APEX kit eh? actually its not a BIX2 rad. neither is it a BIP2. coz the thickness is 34mm. BIP is 25mm thick while BIX is 45mm thick.
anybody got ideas on what rads those "quiet power" swiftech rads are?

hey,
u know where to find 1/2" ID solid clear acrylic tube ar?
i've seen people use copper 90 degree angle tubes as well... do u know where to get those? what about acrylic or brass ones?

btw, the vantec stingray uses 3/8" tubing according to ray99mond.

guys..im confused about tubings measurements..does the outer diameter matters?my theory is the thinner the walls the more flexible it is but allows for easier kinking and otherwise..and for pumps i need to know whats the difference between the D5 and the DDC?my setup will be a BIP3 and a storm and i`ll be adding a gpu wb in the future..which pump should i go with?

from procooling... one hell of a waterblock...

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.

its not produced anymore?sayang man....how does the china made ones fare?

awright then, tawkey ianho is using them chinese one, sarge almostthere is using the japs one, both performance're identical, xcept fore the quality of the core wound for the motor. that's all... (which do effect the life span of the motor)

Update a bit... (thinly veiled bump)

Storm --> In da house
MCW55 --> In da house
BIX --> In da house
MCP650 --> In da house (scrapped the D5 plan and got this instead. Cheaper)
Bunch of barbs and all --> In da house.
Tubing --> Can't blardy find good ones!!!! Gonna Fedex some tygons

Edit:
Panaflo's are no more di. Gone. Extinct.       
Taken over by NMB brand.
