i think nirox is more noisy then eheim, get laing d5 if got budget... more silent, flowrate, and h.pressure...

yeah...go with laing d5, u sure wont regret it...

but you posted in my thread u wanted smtg submersible right?
the Laing D5 and DDC CANNOT be submerged.
so that leaves you with the Eheim's, Nirox's, and the most silent one would be the little D-TEK DB-1. I'm trying to get hold of some of those DB-1's.

wonder how silent is silent...the D5 is silent enuff for me, unless u put ur ear 1 inch from the pump, u wont notice it. but then if submersible, then cannot la.
tomorrow i'm taking my day off to fix my WC loop. even after bowing the GT, still couldnt get the nice temp i want. my G0 is too concave i think coz when i used another proc, the temp is just great. the option left is to lap the proc but then again if i hadnt bow the GT it might be ok, now edi bowed it, dunno what lapping will do...it could be better but might get worst...and lapping a retail proc is really really my last option.

the D5 is already quite silent. silent enough for me. it will make noise if the vibration isn't dampened. the DDC and DB-1 makes less vibration.

according to cooling master's test, lapped+bowed is better than lapped+unbowed. so don't worry about that. but course, lapping the CPU=warranty void.

for sure the lapping will void the warranty...that's why quite reluctant to do so.
anyway, i've re-did my WC after a long 7 hours of effort. taking out the rad and put it outside - at the back, re-positioned the fans. getting a better temp now compared to previous setup. running at 3.6G wif 1.45v/1.42vdrop - load temp is 62-64c . and did that using artic seramic - ran out of my MX-1. need to get MX-2 quickly. maybe could shave a few more C.

It will as Artic Ceramic is not really a good performer under load condition ...

yeah true but as i said, i've ran out of MX1 and while waiting for the MX2 to arrive, just use the ceramic that came with the GT for a change. better that than nothing at all.

Quad core is really that hot ar ???

I've not used one so kind of shock when saw ur temperature reading ...

I was shock with it ....

if quad core is so hot I really wonder how would 8 cores in the future would be ...

you shouldn't forget that current quads are not native quad
just like the old Pentium D dual core, they are hot too
same thing here actually

From my experience comparing my previous E6600 & my present Q6600 G0, teh quaddy is a lot cooler compared to the e6600.
Quite shock with the temperature differences though.
As you all know, i'm always on 400X8 @ 3.2GHz since the first day i'm on my first E6600 ES.

Yes, the Q6600 B3 is hot, a lot hotter than the Q6600 G0. [Tested myself ]

well that all depends whether core temp is right or not..

try with temp sensor..

then only we cal tell.. till then..

ic ic ... seems like most people is shifting into quad core ....

just wonder how good is it compared to E6600 ....

probably sHawTY can help me with the query ...

no difference bro

so far the only difference in gaming i have seen is supreme commander.
the newer games stresses the gpu even more than proc speed.

silly for ppl to buy q6600 so late in the game when penryn is coming.

ic ... that's a good illustration ,thanks for the details..

finally got my setup ready again after while .. but too bad it's not housed within a case ....

Anyway just a good noob question here ..I've checked through the water cooling guide's thread before ..

There's one thing that I don't understand.. what it mean by the term "submerged" and "inline" .... as used by Anwark from the previous post...

hope someone care enough to explain ... thanks !!

Submersed is where your entire pump is placed into the water, while the inline is non-submersible pump...

yeah...btw dun try to submerge ur mcp655 oh.... mcp 655 is not submergable

i think submersible is like ur aquarium la...the pump itself is directly placed in the tank and no need to put the tubing (ada betol ka)...inline --> 2 part of tubing in the same line one coming in and one coming out and it is not to be put in the water...

yeah. thats right. if u submerge, u only attach the tubing for the outlet. since u submerge the whole pump underwater, you don't need to attach the inlet barb because the pump just draws in the water directly from the bucket/tank/reservoir.
but submerging the pump also adds heat dump into the loop; coz all heat produced by the pump goes into the water, as opposed to venting some of the heat out into the surrounding air when setup inline.
