if you expand it, you will decrease the performance yeilds.
the pump is just nice to the cpu, bet if you stretch the tubes any further, it wont be good.
even the nautilus sucked after a dude stretched the tubes and added in a GPU block.

check the Garage Sales.
he is asking performance wise when he expands the loop.

@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 ....

Hahaha..lol its ok laa....thanks 4 ur help I will try 2 find another way out...

try squeeze the tubings a bit, it might help the bubbles to escape... personally i never use t-line as the bleeding takes time... juz use a reservoir... nice and easy with some reduction in performance...

Aiyoo.... da tubes is like rock hard... I can't even squeeze at all... I know, but using a res takes up space... since my casing is kinda small n sempit.. A very small mid tower...

How come i feel--- ignored?

what is your budget first???

im willing to help you...

haha budget is... unlimited.. as i wanna get the best.. but of course over a period of time oni i can setup everything.. need to know how much i need to save up. Monthly can save about ~1.5-2K.

Thanks bro =)

1.5K is more than enough to get a good WC system running.

ok a few question before i go to my bank book.

1. Swiftech MCW-60 GPU Waterblock can git 9600GT o not? Need RAMSink? or i can get the 8800 Unisink? which 1 better? COst wise VS performance wise.

2. I'm planning to go CPU, GPU and NB. 1 2X120MM rad enuf for all? or use 3X120 better? again, cost VS performance wise.

3. Planning to get the best CPU and best GPU blcok, which is the best bang for buck? CPU i read that fuzion is king of the hill at the moment which DDmaze4 or MCW-60 is not bad also, so which 1? price VS performance.

3. Maintanance wise, better to get cascade or wC better?

4. I'll be using D5 as my main pump, do i need a secondary pump if i have alot of blocks?

@GeneJin
for what i think... graphic card is better to be air cooled and u don't have to wc it if u don't plan to do extreme stuff like vmodding cuz 3rd party air cooler is more than enough... even 3x120mm rad is not really enough for cpu+gpu+nb cooling... futhermore u need a massive pump for it... cascade system is very costly and risk damaging ur system if not done properly... for watercooling, u need to flush the system once in a while to clear the sludge and slime... water cooling systems faces risk of leakage....

My replies above in blue. Well, not everyone would enjoy WC anyway so it depends on self preference For me, I'm happy because I get a cooler system and less noise (from the fans).

dual loop user here, in my opinion, cpu temp are almost same as high end air cooled heatsink with lapped IHS and Heatsink.... but for GPU, the temp improved a lot... my 3870 never exceed 47c at oc'ed speed and temperature dropping from load to idle are very fast... i never tried my e8400 on air cooling vs water but my old x2 3800+ getting higher temps compare to last time on wc after changing to air cooled setup for my hometown rig, but not with thermalright heatsink but CM's GeminS, stock clock and voltage already higher than wc setup alot...

cascade system usually apply for CPU only u should take note of that.....

btw licheytan, i notice u change ur mobo, plan to water cooled it too ???

my blitz dead in an accident when adding a backplate to my mobo... short circuited... now using DFI after selling my 8800gt as need to get replacement urgently that time... not planning to watercool it d... i think the heatpipe system is good enough after adding some 40mm fans on to it... mayb watercool it in the future when i got extra pocket moneys.. but for now no upgrade till year end... as ordered penryn Q9550 from friend of mine working in intel but still havent got stock, gotto spare some $$$ for it... currently running x300se while waiting the 3870 back from RMA...

bro darksythe i thought u using freezone?...

in my other rig

Cool tubes... !st time I saw those kind of tubes....
