use those race car radiator, i think someone over at xtremesystems done it... delta between load and ambient = 6c, means the idle is same as ambient, load temp for oc'ed proc is 6c above ambient.. tht's incredible, but forgotten wat proc he using....

LOL, I took up 5 months of my savings just for this tubing purchase. WC is surely expensive

I have saw that before but i think might use heater core/oil cooler

car rad mostly made of aluminum which is not prefer by most WC user, but can achieve near to ambient is quite good, i didnt know that....

may be i get some try

It is messy.. But coolll... really wanna get into WC and start OCing my Clunker... wanna see the result after OCing... Any tips and idea's on OCing my clunker + WCing?

dis is my oc durin wc time....

Hehehehe..... thanks... i m planning 2 change block.... dis block got 3 holes... dats y its messy.... Wat 2 do... can only afford cheap gas tubes....

Been quite some time since I posted here. Nice to see that WC is still going strong. Hehe

Even with distilled water, algae still will form over certain period time though its will lasts longer than those called battery water and normal water. The best way to avoid algae from forming is by dropping few drops of PT-Nuke Biocide (you can purchase it from PetrasTechShop); mixture chemical with silver into the distilled water. Or by putting a small piece of silver into reservoir. Silver is a natural biocide; its will kills algae.

Of course, by using third party coolant like PC Ice will solve the algae problem but its will cloud ur tubing real fast.

Currently, I am using PT-Nuke Biocide with distilled water. Still going strong and algae free since my last maintaince (on Jan 08).

Dont means to bash you. But tygon aint really worth at least for me as it is seriously over priced and more stiff/hard to bend compare to Masterkleer. People are saying that tygon tubing dont cloud that fast but seriously the difference between it and Masterkleer is minimal. Though no deny that black tygon tubing is sexy. Hehe.

Yeah... WC is the way to go. Good temp and silent. What can you ask for more?


I dont understand what do you means by " the more water the better it is.". Having a longer tubing thus more water dont help your temp at all. Unless you means a higher flow rate.

Ya.. algae still grow in distilled water.

I dont think heater core will do any better than present water cooling radiator as heater core tend to have high restriction thus affecting the flow rate of the water as lower water flow rate means heat travel slower to your rad and out. Besides that, heater core is ugly and bulky. It is not really suitable to put it in your case in term of cosmetically and weight.

LExus65 do pointed out a very important point about car rad. Some of it is made from aluminum and most of the block in the market is made from copper as this means a serious mismatch. Never mix metal in your loops as its will cause severe chemical reaction that will kill all copper block.

ohh long time no see...

i see that ur selling ur rig...

so retired la? no whats next edy?

hehehe

Only selling my casing and watercooling. Giving my rig to my sis.

I retired long time ago. Hehe..

very lucky ur sis...

Y dun sell the rig and put it in investment.. When u say Pc Ice will make it the tubing clouder faster.. I change my mind.. stick to distilled water better.. lol..

irangan sudah balik kah haha..........

btw the more water i meant just merely quantity, water can absorb quite some amount of heat per oC of temperature rise. So in theory if u have plenty of water in reservoir, it is better. Longer tube of course does not help at all...... haha

hehe just finish setting up my WC

Wohao..... nice,neat n simple.... wat coolant u use??? how cum mine x glow very bright???

bro, what pump+radiator u using? looks compact and simple..

i think its swiftech hydrx

u also here aaa?

tht's wat i love about tj-07 casing, can put the lower compartment become heart of wc, placing pump + radiator, and place hdd cage on the drivebays, making the wc look more neat... too bad the case is too expensive, else i sure get one for my built... should be no problem for dual loop setup with some moddings...

Care to share the spec of cooling,hardware and temperature?
