QUOTE(pennykia @ Mar 4 2012, 11:05 PM) for this price range i prefer more on swiftech block :0 anyway, i'm downgrading lolx my mcp35x2 too geng = =!!! anyone interested ?? will let go for 610rm. jus use for few hours lol i think dont need so high pressure .... anyone got new regarding Cyntrixtech ?? that guy like dissapeared, nv reply on my test bench that i already paid for a month zzzzz// you can use the mcp35x2 to water your plants mails from cyntrixtech normally takes about 3-5 days at least to be replied. I ask him twice both took a while. I would be cautious paying for something with a slow response and not in stock probably rolling with your money. He could be busy. Hopefully you did not pay in full.

QUOTE(HiT-AbLe @ Mar 11 2012, 06:23 PM) So basically both PC WC shops and hardware stores are selling exactly the same hose clamp right. I've some plastic hose clamps, but from what I heard those plastics one are not reliable, that's why I'm looking for metal one. I use the stainless steel version worm drive hose clamp. THat way it when water get on to the clamp won't rust. Just get the 04 version 9-18mm. MY tubes are 16mm this clamp works great the hose clamp works better because you can tighten harder and is easier to see they are not lock down versus compression compression looks better though. Stainless steel hose clamps are rm2.50 each in bulk

QUOTE(HiT-AbLe @ Mar 11 2012, 08:17 PM) Are u sure econsave got sell? I went there before and still can't find any distilled water, mineral water only. What brand that u bought? everytime i buy sometime from JIbek we need a giant. I buy distill water there at first subang RM0.69 for 1.5liter RO water. This are GIant brand distill water Added on March 11, 2012, 8:50 pmQUOTE(HiT-AbLe @ Mar 11 2012, 06:23 PM) So basically both PC WC shops and hardware stores are selling exactly the same hose clamp right. I've some plastic hose clamps, but from what I heard those plastics one are not reliable, that's why I'm looking for metal one. Yes hose clamp cuts into the outer plastic which is fine. Looks bad for reuse. BUt because you eat into the outer layer around 1-2 mm of the hose the clamp does not get loose at all. as there is mechanical compression and friction so if you are running high pressure that's the way to go This post has been edited by sam sam: Mar 11 2012, 08:50 PM

QUOTE(marsha1l @ Mar 13 2012, 03:59 PM) about the same price as the spritzer distill but spritzer distill alot of ppl use..battery distill water..not sure why not go for spritzer? actually any type of proper distill or Reverse osmosis water is fine. Battery water is distill. In chemistry distill water is a pure as it can get in water. Actually between spritzer and non-branded distill water is the same. Its distill, its suppose to be pure. Only difference is branding anyway once you put it into your loop its picks up copper particles, brass particles thus making it conductive. Using distill water is just to make sure you are not adding in more contaminants into your loop. Every loop has contaminants best is mineral oil not conductive

QUOTE(marsha1l @ Mar 18 2012, 12:16 PM) is cheaper to buy from performance-pcs instead of buying from local wc distributor? and should i change my pump? im using xspc x20 750dc pump and in near future will add mobo block + another gtx580+wb will this pump support the loop..and im using 500r casing with rx240 for the cpu / and mobo block and ek 240 rad for the dual gc im using the stock xspc kit pump rx240 which rated 750l/h not enough pressure. i ran 2 rad with it, the pressure was in suffice to get rid of a lock water bubble the loop had 1 cpu, 2 rads already in suffice. Also if you are adding another gtx580 need another rad

QUOTE(marsha1l @ Mar 18 2012, 02:08 PM) why would u use 2 rad for 1 cpu?? 2 rad not enough? rx240 and xt 240.. my loop is reservoir/pump>cpu>xt 240>gpu>rx240>res/pump rx240 is okay for the the cpu 2 is better plus i wanted to get it ready for 7970 waterblock if you are using one rasa pump then based on experience, if you would have not enough pressure or borderline pressure

QUOTE(kakicam @ Mar 18 2012, 08:48 PM) i wud say very minimum to none at all.. unless u running your pc in the middle of a football field under direct sunlight LOL  quite the opposite if you paint it white the performance would drop, black is the best color for radiation of heat from heat sinks. THat is why most heatsinks are black annodized for maximum performance black painting reduces this a bit but still better than natural color. Painting to thick would reduce the performance even more

i would have ask for a refund 15 days ago. but asking for a change is very fair. Since the 7970 water-block is easy to sell
they did they honor your request?

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 27 2012, 11:14 AM) wat is the recommended water cooling set for a beginner? will water cooling significantly reduce the heat of my desktop? Becos i think my desktop is making my room warm >< nope watercooling is just transfering the heat from the cpu and gpu to the radiator will radiate the heat to the room same thing, its just better than air for transfering of heat

WC like taking drugs have the urge to keep on buying more stuff, fittings, rad, waterblock , pump never ending. So get a good dealer to start with

QUOTE(pennykia @ Mar 28 2012, 12:12 AM) bottom . hot air always go up ... cool air from bottom [theory] putting your rad on top is the best. If you put it at the bottom the hot air would radiate and rise through the casing warming the internals on top the heat radiates outside the casing thus not warming up the internals

Outside is the best this way even the sides of the radiator radiate the heat off with the flow of air in the room compared to internals which is less just looks ugly to some

QUOTE(owikh84 @ Mar 29 2012, 08:32 AM) Somehow putting rad outside case will make dust issue & longer tubing than internal. Mobility is another problem. That is guaranteed to happen for most people i stay in front of a lake on the 13 th floor with air purifiers and 2Hp aircons, my rad is almost dust free so temporarily its okay for me
