I just love it when everytime moderno post up some uber |337 WC setup photoshots

eyecandy that i can drool over

bro is that the fan from the front of your casing? that's the inlet fan right?

Hi guys, I've recently just got some WC stuff from clawhammer. The items are:

Swiftech Apogee XT waterblock
Swiftech NB Max waterblock
Feser X-Changer Dual 240mm Extreme Performance Radiator
Swiftech 2 x 120mm Radiator
Bitspower 5.25" Bay Reservoir
Swiftech MCP655 pump
Duralene Tubing
Bitspower compression fittings/45 degree adapters/90 degree adapters

hhmm.... I think it's around RM2.2k. The damages mainly came from the Rad, compression fittings and 45/90 deg adapters.

the WC was initially done with limited stuff, ended up with 1 bad kink and 1 mild kink. more over with an awkwardly placed tube res. got fed up with the compromised flow and appearance. I decided to pour in another RM700 with the bay res, feser rad and more 90 deg adapters.

thanks bro.

zzz... mid end? sure sure

By the way, just for anyone who owns CM ATCS840 or someone whom u can tell to..

The HDD cage actually couldn't hold a dual rad. As the height of the dual radiator exceeds the height of 2x 120mm fan. coolermaster didn't allow enough space to place a dual rad at the side of the HDD cage. My swiftech dual rad fitted (barely), coz I forced it in REAL REAL HARD. but it was totally impossible with feser dual rad due to its extra height

Based from my trial and errors, the side of the HDD cage of ATCS840 is better suited for single radiator

Omfg, epic mistake!!

Thx for pointing it out. This is the consequence of not doing enough reading...

Shit now i will have to remount the wb again... Hope i still have enough tube left

Managed to change the inlet/outlet by rotating the wb + tube rerouting. The end results were 1c drop in all cores, swollen fingers, messy room and a sore back. Will upload some screenies tonight

Lol. How about u come to my place and redo everything for me, FOC? And we'll see who's gonna get peeled fingers and broken back. Maybe then i'll consider bringing u to tambun for ur little effort.

Really? then sorry MR ONG, no free hawker food for you bro.

@owikh84
u should go for the installment plan.

Here's my corrected inlet/outlet apogee xt (sorry for the dark and blur picture, i don't have a digi cam)

yes, THE Tambun for seafood. luckily he decided to go by himself

by the way, managed to grab my brother's digi came for a quick snap.

mind to list out the pc components and wc parts? well for a start, i know it's a gigabyte P44-Ud4p mobo. lots of bitspower compression fittings, swiftech pump, bitspower res and XT wb. and what are those ATI cards?

and excellent sleevings bro.

How are the temps like for both 5870?

that's one sexy looking water setup u have there bro. but why green LED though....

Bro try 4.2-4.3ghz. 4.0ghz is peado for wc

4500mhz with HT off

Here's the load temp as you all have requested. and please, stop assuming this as a godly chip. coz it's IMC is just as crap as a C0 chip.

oh, and i forgot to put in the voltages for the first screenshot. the 2nd screenshot with voltages and opened side panel

yes, it's in an air con room. the aircon temp was set to 27C

that was utterly a load of crap from CoolIT representative. the setup wasn't even done on a proper rig. zzzz well done CoolIT, what a way to deceive the public. Only non IT ppl's gonna believe in that crap....

As if they would go.... "It is clear that our ECO ALC failed in the 4ghz OC load test, and we are still selling this piece of crap regardless"

Added on February 8, 2010, 12:06 ambtw, that's not the latest WB from swiftech. gosh CoolIT has been living in the cave for decades

1. u get absolute security with the compression fitting. sometimes when we wanna adjust the tube or even bend the tube slightly to connect to another component, u can be sure the tube won't suddenly pop out from the otherside.

2. the reason is simple. the inlet/outlet are just too close. there's no way that u can curve your tubing without creating kink, which could restrict the flow. I've learned it the hard way, the kink will eventually trap bubble.

3. er.... i don't see any of point of doing that. correct me if i'm wrong.

4. can u find the compatible back plate? if u can, then go ahead. u won't see too much of a temp difference with XT, it's still a WB bro! it's gonna caned all other coolers regardless but since ur gonna fork out some money to buy the backplate and going through the trouble reinstalling your loop, why not just get XT then?

5. u mean the chipset of R3E? oh hell yeah, it decreases the NB and the digital PWM temp tremendously. lower chipset temp means that u can go even more extreme oc

or maybe u should just sell off your current dual rad and make do with the new tri rad + new wb. fork out a bit more $$

if it's the feser 360 rad, no problem bro. just make sure u have high cfm cans installed on the rad, u will be fine with that setup for sure
