yeah but bryan has a very strong point when he spoke about conductivity.
but then again water just cant conduct water just like that. it needs a lil acid too which will make those minute additives inside unseen.

ah well. best is we use the Liebig condensor and make us some distilled water.
100% pure

I guess i need a good radiator and cpu block.
What if i use the thermaltake big water or other ALL-IN-1 WC kit,and change the cpu block,will it give a different?

i think its not good also, for ur info, TT uses aluminium radiator, which is not recommended to mix different metal in the same loop... corrosion will occur if u use copper block....

2nd, TT pump is quite famous for its failure after few months of usage, so if ur pump suffer suddent death, so as ur PC might be gone as well....

3rd, TT radiator are old inefficient design, so its not recommended as well...

4th, mayb u can use the reservoir, but the threading on the reservoir are small, so its quite restrictive i can say....

last of all, nvr ever use THERMALTAKE liquid cooling products... so as COOLERMASTER or GIGABYTE, u can use the Aquagate MAX reservoir + pump... quite nice i can say...

taken from xtremesystem

tht guy modded the faceplate of the CM aquagate max pump + reservoir, rest he uses custom parts...

i might be getting a CM Aquagate Max soon.
if i do then i'll let you guys know how it fares against my custom WC

and also TT product use 3/8" tubing rite...better get the bigger size for maximum flow..

if i am not wrong, i read an article about the CM Aquagate, overall its a good WC kit, the weakest part is its CPU Block, which the fins are joined on to a copper piece unlike those D-tek or Swiftech waterblock which made from a piece of copper by using CNC Machine and precise machining... then its the radiator, which is made of aluminium, not so recommended in my opinion... the 3/8 tubings not affecting much since an article about tubings size proven tht it just affect not more then 1c...

the part i like most about the Aquagate MAX is the reservoir + pump and the temp monitoring... quite nice...

@lichyetan

all of a sudden
those aquagate looks damn yeng~
ahaha

i have no idea on the performance.....
prolly wit the same ammount of $...
u can get a kick a$$ custom WC
but still.....it looks neat
*i LYKE*


P/S: wat mobo is dat?

the more impure the water is, the more conductive it is, assuming its of tap water, distilled water, battery water, and pure lab grade distilled



make me some, i belanja u makan, which school are you in? pm me ;D

@bryanyeo87

how's your project on the intel stock cooler...mind to share how's your project goings on... FYI, this bro trying to transform intel stock cooler to waterblock..gudluck bro..

Errrmmmm..........Something more keng but you won't know till the thing is done

good point there, bryan

Haizzz.... sheesh ryudox, its secret project xxx la for the intel cooler. Lolz. jk jk.

Sean waiting for ur review on the aqua gate max........actually i dun mind about those rad are aluminum, it not like the rad are so thin, slight corrosion would make a hole on it. If u want, u can always dielectric the conductivity by feed or bleeding the electrical charges out of the water, but this need some research and development - a recent product just introduce in cooliong industry although it being use in others for long time already

btw lichyetan, u meant the fin in the block are solded on the base plate instead of machine out of solid block ? no wander they can make it so cheap. i was wandering how did they manage it a while back....

i like the flowmeter that Aqua Max kit come with...

i got problem here.. i'm using Aquaextreem white water LE bought from clawhammer recently.. but the WB base is a bit wide than other normal WB..so it was blocked by the capacitor around the proc socket... anyone can help me?

change to another block

i also not sure how to settle tht other thn changing block, mayb change mobo... ? cause i think its impossible to mod the block, try rotate the block in clockwise direction see if can fit since its LGA775 and the mounting holes are equal at all 4 corner...

still cant coz both ways got cap...lolz..

cut those caps D: desolder ftw

anyway, other then that, maybe your only option is to change the block

or maybe i can add a layer so that the WB will be higher than the caps...?

hmm good idea, but u need a copper piece, to interface, performance will probably suck abit more..... and u have to assume ur screws can take the extra height

the screws damn long...enough to add 1 more WB...lolz.. is it possible to use 50sen as the layer? of course after been lapped..

erm... U put pt nuke the waterbecome very conductive lor.. Since pt nuke has copper in it...
