Anyone looking for silver kill coil can PM vahn87. He's got some to sell off.

1. Choose any case that you can afford and like. Corsairs and NZXTs are pretty water cooling friendly. Bitfenix too if you like the finish.

2. You will be able to see significant temperature drop since you're comparing a budget air cooler with pretty much high end AIO solutions.

3. You can maybe try asking Impulse megastore and see if they can accommodate you. Ask for swiftech H220 or H320, IMHO better than the corsair range, especially if you plan on adding the GPU into your loop.

4. How basic are you talking? A basic XSPC water cooling kit will cost you bout 499, add a GPU block and it'll hit bout 8xx, depending on brand.

5. Sure, why not. Just depends on how secure you build your system and that you transport it with care. If you're really worried, drain the loop before transport and fill it back up on site.

Hi bro, first off, do you have a budget for water cooling? From what I see, it looks like you plan on going custom. If you don't have a large budget, you can try swapping out your current fans for better ones first.

If you have a good budget, then by all means, water cool. You will still need fans for your radiators, and if your case can support 140mm fans, then it will help since larger fans are quieter, but have less static pressure so ideally, get radiators optimised for air flow.

Even if you go water cool, you will still need to bear with your GPU fan which can get really load when the card is loaded. So you might want to consider cooling the card as well.

1200 should be sufficient if you don't go overboard. Haha.

Water cooling a GPU doesn't necessarily void warranty. Just keep the stock cooler, when send for RMA, put it back. but not all graphic cards have full cover waterblocks (for core and vrm) so have to use universal blocks (just core) and for safe measure vrm heatsinks. Unless of course you change your GPU. Haha.

Noise will vary between the 355/35x/655, pump speeds and amount of air in the pump. The 655 is apparently the quietest.

Instead of mayhems coolant can consider primochill pearl yellow tubing.

Chrome pipes of the size you need itself are not exactly easy to find.

Instead, consider chromed copper pipes. That way, in the event the chrome layer wears or if you chip it, nothing bad will happen in your loop since it's copper. If you buy chromed pipes off the shelf, you won't know what the underlying metal is and if it goes crazy, can say bye bye to your blocks and radiators in your loop.

I think Cyntrix has bending service.

Hey you guys, just informing you that my PrimoChill sales thread is up!

Looks like the Asus MVIG has got it's water block from EK!





The Hero is next! infernoaswen you'll need to wait some more. lol

I hope you bought a reference card or an asus dcuii otherwise you're going to have difficulty finding a block.

Looks pretty clean. Nice. 1/2 3/4 tubing?

BTW, where's your ram? Lol

eh, infernoaswen how's the cw611 doing? can control your pump and everything? Should share here man. considering it's availability and price, might have a few ppl here interested. haha

Can't control the pump or can control but don't know the speed?

Hope you can figure it out. Would be good to know how the cw611 fares to the aquaero. Especially since I think it's cheaper. hahah.

The new H-series uses 3/8" barb fittings, so that tubing's probably 3/8" ID, 5/16" OD.

Hm. Interesting. If I have time I'll go read up on it.

Edit: The manual isn't of much help.

99+. wah bro, can boil water. you're using a universal block right? you might want to consider buying vram sinks before your card ends up as toast. Also, might wanna check the mounting and thermal paste mating of your block with the gpu core.

what paste you using btw?

anyone got their hands on Gelid GC Extreme? Thinking of getting some, but no idea where to get locally.

How did you attach the vram sinks?

Yes, you might want to change out the paste. IMHO, Tunix paste was never really good to begin with.

Bro, where did you get the akasa sinks from? looks like bought locally. Pretty sure ichuck would love to get his hands on some. lol


Got some on the forums tying to sell their fc link I think. maybe search gs and see? otherwise, if I do make a purchase from ekwb, will let you know.

Yeah. Didn't see anyone selling that. APES no old stock?

Just so you know, the Raystorm 750 RX240 kit does not use a D5 pump, but uses XSPC's own 750 pump. You should be fine even with an additional GPU block. just make sure you buy a block that's compatible with your card.

Whether or not you need a second radiator is totally up to you. You can start with the kit, run it and if you don't like the temperatures you're getting, add on another radiator.

The D5 kit and the 750 kit are two different things bro.

I've got the kits as well, if you're looking for a place to buy.
