You want pure watercooling?
Then go for no other than Swiftech... thumbup.gif

The other brand such as Gigabyte, Thermalrtake, Evercool, CoolerMaster, are just fake watercooling kit, they don't perform better than any high end air cooling heatsinks... smile.gif

Yes, the price of Swiftech Watercooling Kits are expensive compared to those other crappy watercooling kits, but still, if you want the best, you have to pay the price... wink.gif

You want the best, you have to take the risk biggrin.gif

**The risk is spending lot's of money laugh.gif

This is what i meant by true watercooling:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835108075

The price, is in US$ then calculate the conversion rate by 3.6, then add some shipping price, then you'll get the price of the true watercooling kit smile.gif

Buy those medical grade distilled water and add some anti alga solution like Hydrx.

According to some forum, keep your loops from sunlight will slow down the alga growth too.

What about UV CCFL? blink.gif
I've heard that those UV lights used in the aquarium will slow down the alga growth, does UV CCFL that we use in our casing work at the same way as the UV Light used in the aquarium? blink.gif

New waterblock from Swiftech for G80 graphic cards.
Built specially for nVidia 8800GTS, 8800GTX & 8800Ultra

Swiftech Stealth

Introduction
Named after the famous Stealth fighter bomber because of its angular shapes and black livery, Swiftech' Stealth is a VGA water-block designed exclusively for nVidia's high-end GeForce(tm) 8 series graphics cards. At the time of publication, the Stealth is compatible with the 8800 GTS, GTX and Ultra models.

The ultimate GeForce(tm) cooling performance:
Using the same core cooling technology as the Apogee(tm) GT and GTX CPU water-blocks which are recognized as the best performing water-blocks on the market, the Stealth unique design approach focuses cooling where it is most needed: at the GPU level; with its extended wings covering the memory modules and NVIO chip, the massive aluminum housing also maintains the lowest possible temperature of these surface mount components; this allows in effect for the most advanced overclocking techniques which are necessary to take core and memory frequencies well beyond factory specifications.

Performance and flow data
Thanks to the Apogee GT cold plate technology, the Stealth offers ultimate thermal performance with moderately high flow restriction as shown below:

One example of a Stealth SLI setup, also including MCW30 cooling on both Northbridge and Southdridge chipsets. In this example, the water-blocks are installed in series.

user posted image
This example of stealth SLI setup shows the water blocks installed in parallel using regular 3/8" T's. This type of arrangement is ideal to keep the highest possible flow rate in the CPU water-block, while maintaining sufficient flow rate for the GPU's. In effect the Stealth water-block does not require high flow rates to provide extreme cooling to the GPU.

Specifications
Internal structure: the CNC machined C110 copper base plate is at the heart of Stealth water-block cooling efficiency. Designed and optimized using Computational Fluid Dynamics, it benefits from the same Diamond Pin Matrix technology used in the Award Winning GT and GTX CPU water-blocks. In fact, we use the Apogee GT/GTX base plates with the Stealth, thus guaranteeing the absolute best performance on the market.

The Stealth utilizes the same Diamond Pin Matrix
cold plate technology as the Apogee(tm) GT & GTX

The housing is CNC machined out of billet aluminum and receives two plating treatments for a lifetime protection against corrosion: electroless nickel plating (MIL-C-26074E grade B) and Zinc Cobalt plating (ASTM B 840-99 grade 6). A black die is applied after plating strictly for cosmetic appeal.
The port threads are 1/4" BSPP standard.
The housing is supported by a 5 year limited(*) warranty.

user posted image
The Stealth is shipped with 1/4" BSPP to 1/2" barb chrome fittings, and is also fully compatible with Swiftech's or other 1/4" BSPP to 3/8" barb fittings.
The spring loaded screws shipped with the Stealth are the same as those used in nVidia's stock aircooled solutions.

Do you love your money?
You do right?

You can see many users here said that Bigwater is crap, now then, let me ask you something, give me one good reason why you don't want to listen what the crowd says about it?

Trust me, if you love your money, don't buy that crap.
If you really short in budget, it's better if you just buy high end aircooling heatsink rather than buying that Bigwater crap.

Want TRUE watercooling?
Fork out a budget at least RM500.

If you can't fork out that kind of money, save your money and get yourself a highend aircooling heatsink. smile.gif

Yes you can, bigwater offcourse, but rather then spending your money getting bigwater, it's better for you to use high end aircooling heatsink.

Quoted from the sifu of watercooling:
QUOTE
Remember, don't just simply go for WC just because it is bling, or just because it is "Water Cooling".


If you're serious into watercooling, fork out at least RM600. smile.gif

Those watercooling set that is on RM300, is just a pure waste of money. shakehead.gif

been gone through xtremesystem forums before, for the mcp-655(D5) i think its not so good to overvolt it as it only generate for heat and just a little head pressure if i am not wrong... those xtremesystem forum people do did a test but u got to go there find for it as its an old topic there...

12Volts - 3Feet
24Volts - 10Feet

That doesn't seem a little.
At least that's what swiftech website states. sweat.gif

Mana swiftech cakap?

According to Cathar ngan Maxxracer, more then 13v does not yield any real gains except increased temps. And never take swiftech's data without at least a grain of salt

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41495

and isit 13.8 feet HMax and wattage is 24W shawty?

Sorry la bang, aku newbie lagi dalam WC ni, jangan la marah. sweat.gif

QUOTE(MetalZone @ Jul 7 2007, 02:37 AM)
Yeah it is able to be fed with voltage up to 24volts for input flexibility lah (coz bear in mind this is also an industrial pump). But as almostthere has mentioned, there is no noticeable increase in performance at more than 12.8volts, only more heat dump. I nvr bothered to overvolt my D5 though. The AquaXtreme 50Z benefits from overvolting more than the D5 though.

Yeah, thanks for the explanation boss! notworthy.gif

all,

just a quick question here...any water cooling will definitely have a better cooling performance over air cooling?

is this true?
i am considering getting a water cooling set...Thermaltake BigWater 735 ATX/BTX Liquid Cooling System probably... just want to make sure so not to waste my money...

currently i'm using Zalman cnps9500 heatsink...

You better save your money rather than getting that crappy bgiwater.
If you're serious in getting into watercooling, get ready to spend at least RM5xx. smile.gif
