hows ur temp?

it wont affect much, as the temp of air after passes through the radiator are not so warm...

i using the additional bracket mounting kit from swiftech.

ya, but almost identical as previous loop which is juz CPU and GPU in a single loop.

i use masterkleer for 1/2 ID tubings and 3/8ID Kuritec tubings. I dont have those T-Line accessories, such as the dangerden fillport, and also it takes quite a long time to bleed if using t-line, and ended up using reservoir which bleed faster and easier. So far i think Hydryx still acceptable la, PC ICE too expensive, initially plan to use distilled water, but end up using hydryx. Hmm, wat case u recommend me for dual loop setup? i think stacker are still serve me well, intro me some nice and big enough case to me bro, might consider upgrade in the future...

same as posted in another wc thread, e2140 @ 3.12ghz @ 1.525vcore @ 29c-32c idle and 52-55c load. Remounted the block few times and the thermal paste spread quite well, checked with swiftech website and those temps are normal according to their temp calculator. mayb i got hotter batch e2140. but 8800gt cooled superbly, idle 40c load 44c while NB kept at around 39-42c...

lichyetan... i think i know why ur load temp so much higher... ur flow rate too low... what pump u using?...

True also... But T Line can save you alot space. Hehe...

Can you track how its take for your tubing to cloud? At least we can prove whether the statement of hydrx stain your tubing real fast, true or not.

Talk about casing ar... Of course if you have the cash, you must get a Lian Li 343B for your dual setup. One of my friend is using that case and it is 'the' case for watercooling.

a very nice dual radiator setup on it.

If you are tight on budget, probably just go for big case like Lian Li V2000 Plus II. I dont want sounds like Lian Li fan boys but before getting my V2000. I did alot of research on those 'big' casing (Silverstone and so on) and in the end I decided to go for V2000 cuz I can fit 2 radiator at least inside the case without any heavy modification.

Nice setup on V2000



You can add another dual radiator below the Triple rad. Stack on it.

V2000 setup from our forummer; hollowbean



Your temp is kind of high... I think you can gain better result if you switch the pump between your loops. DB1 for CPU and ur more powerful D4 for the gpu and so on.

i think its quite ok since its 1.525vcore in bios and 1.5 report in ASUS probe and 1.472 by CPU-Z, using swiftech temp calc for 220compact kit the temp compared is 6c higher then my setup with ambient around 30c w/o aircond. The load temp i reported full load under prime95 small FFT's and Intel TAT stress... so i think my proc mayb are hotter batch.

@irangan,
Ya, should have switch loop for the pump, as the fuzion block are super restrictive, but its still acceptable as delta of 4c only between load and idle by gpu and nb temp kept at 41c +- 2c when load. I think its normal for NB amd GPU loop, do u think the CPU temp is normal? i think its normal as swiftech temp calc are higher then my temp, but based on ur experience, possible hotter batch intel proc?

and also my asus probe reporting higher temp and flunctuate between 60-50c when load, probably wrong temp reporting, Intel TAT and Core temp report lower temp.

1 question ... which pump can support 2 x (3x12cm swiftech rads) ?

a single d5 will do but u might get better result with 2 x d5 if u r running several water blocks (ie. gpu, nb, cpu, etc) but a single resevoir will be sufficient...

40+'C for NB is kind of high... Have you try to remount the NB block? I think should be got contact problem.

Ur cpu temp too is kind of at the high side but most likely due to your 'hot' processor. Like I said before, my celeron 420 running at 38'C idle under WC and aircond but only 22'+C for my E8400. Hehe..


Its depends much on ur setup. If 2 rad + 1 cpu block, should be ok but if u have alot of block in ur loop. It is better for you to seperate up the loops like lichyetan. You will get better temp.

if single block? single pump enough for 2x(3x12cm swiftech rad) + d-tek fuzion ?

juz read through some forums, thinking NB temp is normal unless i remount the whole asus heatpipe as the thermal paste are lousy according to some of them and the fuzion block are just paste onto the heatpipe with expoxy, so guess its poor contact, if want to remount i gotto take off everything again, which i think i will just do in future when i wanna clean my wc loop as too much hassle to rework all those stuffs... For the CPU, i think mostly should be hot proc as u said as another forumer here using IFX-14 reaches 64+c applying 1.5+vcore also...

Ya.. It is enough... But I cant see the point why u need 2 triple radiator for your CPU. A single dual radiator is just nice if u wish to cool ur cpu only.


Ya.. Exactly... Probably you can remount it next time. Too hassle :S

If that is the case, time to upgrade again or you waiting for Q945/Q955?

bro irangan , where can buy those biocide???

ya, waiting for penryn user here, by the mean time, also collecting funds so that i got enough budget for Q9450 or Q9550, i think i'll upgrade at year end...

I think you get it from local hardware shop. Personally I not too sure cuz i bought it from US.

U plan to use 2140 till end of the year... Can or not.. Haha

Got a point there lol... Guess a single triple rad will do... D-tek fuzion+ swiftech triple rad enough to run 4GHz daily on e8400?

haha, will tried to, cause price will be cheaper that time also, same as Q6600 nw mayb... but will tempted once seeing those 9460/9550 user post their oc, discussion all over this forum.. LOL

hhmmm 4ghz is actually mild id say

With those stuff how far do u think it can go?... getting a q9450 after it is released...

well i'm running 2 x mcp220 rads (2 x 12cm rads) + 3 blocks with a single swiftech pump... running e6600 at 3.6ghz daily with 1.55vcore...

i think it's shouldn't b a problem for ur e8400 to run 4ghz daily...

wats ur cpu temp ?.. wah 1.55vcore... i running stable 3.6ghz at 1.45vcore...
