All three are about the same... the main difference would be their barb location as well as built quality.

I personally would suggest Cool-Trek or Alphacool NexXxos III ...

coz those have better finishing quality ...

It sure can ... it's D-Tek that u are talking about men ...

One of the best brand for water cooling stuffs ... the pump may not be the strongest but should be enough for GPU and CPU loh...

Definitely perfect dude .. .

One of the best performing set .... however it would be recommended to grab dual rad rather than single rad ... .... ///

performance is undoubted ...

@amane_kaoru
Grab Artic Cooling Accelero S1 .. cheap but very good performer..

Accelero S1


@book8
It probably cost about RM1200 ...

Depend on the radiator chosen ...

However u can't get any of those in shop .. u have to order from bulk order ..Metalzone would be a guy that has almost all the items in the list .. .

It would definitely enough for CPU ...



@IcEMoCHa

hehe .. however mounting 3x120mm rad is very tough ... lots of things need to be at the right place ...

dual rad definitely enough amane_kaoru ......

I would rather not to venture into water cooling if budget limited ..

with that budget better grab high end air cooler due to lower risk and better performance than low end water cooling ...

Wow .. nice one ...

Come come post a brighter and bigger photo ..

of course with some result as well....

Come come ... post up some result as well ....

yee ??? got any photo to show it ??

I don't think ur galaxy pump would be too weak to provide enough pressure for Apogee GT ... since it's not a very restrictive block ..

A dual or triple rad would be ur idea solution which u have already bought it right ??

Anyway uploaded D-Tek in another thread ... go check it out ..

will upload result when I've god mood ... very bad mood this two weeks ...

Yah prepare 1.2K to start off with it ... else better not even invest into it at all ..

Highend air cooler or premium water cooling kit ...that's the two path ..

Quick solution .... just buy another pump

It would get rusted a bit and alga started to build up then eventually lead to performance decrement due to the reduced path ...

however it does take a long time for such situation to build up if a clean setup was done in the first place ...

Personally after twice attempt of using WC from low high jump to high end ..

I still feel that it's troublesome to maintain WC ...

In term of quietness, I won't argue which would be quieter between air and wc ..

From my experience WC is not at quiet as it seems to be ... unless pump and radiator are well hidden and isolated with noise reduction materials ..

My semi passive cooling setup is much more quieter than my wc setup ..

WC


AC

@Ryoga
Thanks ... hehe .. I still love my air cooling better ..

@rozz_1291
Have to tilt your case in different direction that get the bubbles lesser and have to stop and run the loop several times ..

@IcEMoCHa
I'm not sure either how those stuffs form in specific ..

but one thing for sure when preparing the water cooling setup ..

keep the coolant and container of all those liquid free from dust and other material as much possible ..

@rozz_1291
That mean there's still some trapped bubbles here and there within the loop .. especially like radiator ... there's lots of air trapped within the pipes ...

@LExus65
8800GTS 320Mb consider fine loh ... look at GT and GTS 512Mb ..

those are really hot .. !!

@sookyee
He's not at KL . ... but u could go to garage sales under CPU and etc section ..

He has a sales thread there

@rozz_1291
hmm ... have to wait for any sifu with brilliant solution ..

It happened to me and I really try to tilt the case into different direction and restart the system more than 10 times ......

The process alone enough to keep me away from wc for good at least for now ..

@Ryoga
PC-Ice is easier to use than Hydrx .. because u don't need to mix it around with distill water ....

how you get the liquid flow into the tube is also how u get it drained.

I used to have a syringe to to take out some of the water from reservoir

then I turn the reservoir upside down to drain the remaining water.

make sure ur block is removed from the component, that should ease the work.

it all depends how u go about doing it. be creative.

WHY cant u ??? of course water cooling could be run in aircond room .... u would get better result than those in normal ambient temperature ..

@Neo8663
I think got one or few of our forumer uses it . .loh

dont worry it wont freeze until put it into freezer and i believe ur room temperature after aircond turned on wont hit freezing level ..

well, it is a nice one loh, wont be extra fantastic but surely does the job well ..

well, u could overclock without wc if ur ambient is kind of decent low .. around 15c ... just a highend heatsink will do the job..

but for country like MY, wc could let the system push much higher than aircooling ..
