I could get some UV Feser tubings but it's pretty costly I'd say. How come this thread is so quiet? I guess not many water cooling users around these days?

Your stuffs are arriving this week bro I'll let you know and you have a good case and WC parts coming up. Godlike rig!

If that's the case then all you need is a pro mount kit for LGA1366

Yes I do have the LGA1366 Pro mount kit and I've already PM-ed you earlier yesterday. We can discuss this in PM

You've made the right choice Martin I've been with distilled and battery water since day one, never used coolant. Anyway, here's a lazy man's work on WC setup:

I've been running with filtered/distilled water for years I don't think it'll do any harm.

I'm using battery water now too so we'll cry together if it really kills anything

The problem is, I don't understand how could distilled or battery water kill anything. These are all science so unless someone can explain pure water would make the copper explode or some sort of chemical behaviour then I think it's absolutely impossible anything would happen

Yo Martin, you're right that the sleeving is not good enough because you'll still be able to see the colors of the wires after you sleeve What I did was to color the wires with black marker pens before putting the sleeves on.

Yeah, that'll be tough and we just need better sleeves If you can find them in Jalan Pasar then it'll be good as I'd like to get some for myself too. Lesser work to do as I don't need to colour off the wires to black before I start sleeving

Thanks bro dro I'm on Duralene only since I can't afford Tygons.

I believe as long as you have mineral, distilled, battery water then it's fine. I've used all these types of water for years and has not damaged anything at all. We just have to avoid our rubbish tap water.

I think the H50 wouldn't beat the TRUE but even on par it would be a good achievement. There are just too many cheap water cooling sets around these days

Wow, nice setup. The Feser UV sure looks good ain't it. Don't worry, I will bring you some compression fittings next time so it won't be so messy, hahaha.

He's using Cooler Master HAF932, pretty big and spacious

It's obvious that H50 doesn't do the job well enough Why waste money on it when we know? If H50 is really that good, everyone would stop buying proper/custom WC sets.

LOL, don't you want your i7 to get 60C++ full load? 89C is a bit hot for that baby and why waste time, energy and money on H50 instead of going straight to the right product for the big kids?

RM201 I will buy 1 set and test out then sell it off

LOL, don't worry and I'm sure you won't regret. Once I went into water cooling a few years back I've never turned to air cooling again It's quiet, a lot cooler and looks superb. You don't only get performance out of it but also a chance to pimp your rig

For those that thinks WC kits are good, read this:

CoolIT Domino blew up and apparently there are lots of bad reviews for it too

The chances of a Swiftech or D5 pump exploding is probably minimal and at least until now, I've never read anything like this before. If you do a quick google, you can't find much stories about quality WC pumps but plenty of stories about all these 1 set WC kits In a custom WC solution, the other parts (like radiator, CPU WB, etc) would never go bad and the leakage normally happens if you do not screw your barbs tight enough or tubings are not tightly fitted into barbs. Other than that, I don't see any reason things would fail The difference is that with a custom set, it will not fail if you do it right but with kits like CoolIT, etc, it will still fail even if you followed the instructions 100%. The reason is because you have absolutely no control over what's inside and how it works, you just gamble and hope that the manufacturer ensured everything is packaged properly before being sold to us. If the worker missed out something in between, we won't know until we turn it on Sometimes it can be disastrous like the poor guy above.

Thanks Martin, you have a good point there and yes, my Swiftech pump is still rock solid stable even it's close to 3 years old Although it's expensive but I'm happy with it since it's reliable, totally silent and had the performance.

Products failing is common, there's always a certain percentage of failure rate but if the rate is too high then it's no longer a good thing
