agree with u all... even the cheap water cooling kit sold by ngbh oso beat the bigwater... i currently using swiftech kit and its really good water cooling kit...
@ point blanc
i think wat u mean the shower type water block is jet impingement block like the storm or aquaxtreme mp-05 series.

lichyetan,

finally someone understands what i mean... sorry for the lack of detail in my previous reply..

does the jet impingement block better than the normal type?
what i'm trying to say is the jet impingement spray like a shower, wouldn't that create air bubbles and impaired the performance?

regards,
point blanc

Yes it does ... works better with more heat being dissipate..

although it looks like blocking but actually it is flowing through only .

my water cooling system in my stacker to cool down my system:(some updates)
Swiftech Apogee GT CPU block, Swiftech MCR-220QP Radiator, Swiftech MCP-650(D4) pump, Swiftech Micro Reservoir, Aquaxtreme MP-01 VGA Block with Gigabyte GBT Coolants.

who who ....that's one awesome looking wc kits.

how much u spent on it dude... ???

any temperature results...???

bout rm800+ if calculate all the blocks and accessories... which costed me a bomb on cooling... i did so by upgrading 1 by 1... at start my setup is juz a mcr-220QP, nirox pump and apogee block.. then i add those blocks and change and upgrade things and took me bout more thn 1/2 year to get my desired loop complete...
temps are 38c-40c core temp idle for my opty 170 @ 1.45v and 49-50c load.
stock vcore temp is 36-38c idle, 44-45c load... quite decent cause my loop also cooling down my x1950XT which idle @ 41-43c, @48-50c load(NFS: Carbon)

just changed my water pump from a nirox to a Laing D5 ..OMG the silence...its fantastic...couldnt understand how i could have managed to stand the rattling noise my nirox was generating for the last couple of months..

do air bubbles cool down water temp???

if true , i gonna change radiator to fish air pump

doesnt really affect ur temps. yet they should be avoided because it might cause complications in the loop.

ic ic .. nice setup, i have always wanted to venture in but the cost and risk just holding me back now .... besides it's really hard to get nice looping with the hardwares inside that keep on changing in my case ....

hahah.. one could understand the beauty of quiet when they experience it ...

once fall in love with silent there's no turning back

- post wrongly - sorry

can more ppl post up their pic n parts of their DIY WC sets??? seems very interesting...

ERm...


Is your nirox that loud ?

What nirox pump are you using ?

I assume its a P2800 ???

As for me , my P2800 is SILent

hello.. im currently using nirox pump, mcr220 rad and aquaextreme cpu block setup.. and using 1/2 tubing.. i found that 1/2 tubing is so hard... i wan to use swiftech 655 pump but i comes with 1/2 tubing.. im thinking of changing to 3/8 tubing.. so it will be more soft and 'cute'..

the reason y i want to change to 3/8 tubing there`s a lot of accessories support until 3/8 tubing like thermaltake reservoir and flow meter and secondly 1/2 tubing is hard... infact many of bling2 for wc kit in malaysia support only 3/8 inch tube..

any suggestion? can i use 3/8 tubing at 655 pump?

or any suggestion which 1/2 tubing is a bit soft and gud?

New watercooling kit from Aerocool

Aerocool Iceland

http://www.aerocool.com.tw/cooler/iceland/iceland.htm

huhu.. shawty.. what is ur opinion bout using 3/8 tube on swiftech 655 pump? i`ll use converter 1/2-to-3/8 inch.. it is possible?

try 7/16" ID 5/8" OD tubing. it looks smaller and a bit softer than 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing due to thinner walls.
what brand tubing are u using now?
you wont notice any performance difference switching to 7/16" ID tubing.

do u hav it with u? can i buy? coz currently i`m using no brand tubing..

where can i get those tubing? clearflex ok aa?

or u hav better one..

let me answer for the masta.... he got 7/16" and 1/2" masterkleer tubing..... RM4.5 for 7/16" and Rm7 for 1/2"

does it fit with the 1/2 barb?
