what casing is that? dam nice looking...

I will just sell off my cooling and casing as used my old parts for my sis rig. PC Ice do cloud ur tubing faster compare to distilled water but no deny its perform better than distilled water. Not to mention its will grease ur pump and prolong its life cycle. I quitted using PC Ice because it is 'oily'.. Hard to clean up during maintaince.

Just back to sell off some of my stuff.. Hehe... Busy busy..

Actually, the performance you getting from adding water is minimal as water not really good in 'carrying' heat and the main purpose of radiator is to get rid of the heat. So the faster go in and out ur radiator, the better it is.


Looks like HydrX.. Someone gonna change tubing in like 3-4months time. Hehe

yeap then which coolant will be better
@IcEMoCHa. its silverstone TJ07

No need use coolant la if wan performance..

woah.. Rm1100 for a casing... so expensive...

Actually HydrX can perform quite well, just that its will stain ur tubing real fast.

Personally, I used before PC Ice (UV Blue) and its perform real well. Though its will stain ur tubing too but at much slower rate compare to HydrX.

Besides that, I prefer using Distilled Water plus Biocide. The performance slightly below PC Ice but my tubing can last longer. Good for lazy ppl like me. Changing tubing for WC is a nightmare if you got several blocks and huge setup.

But if you didnt prepare ur distilled water coolant nicely, mr algae will take over ur setup. hehe

yeah, agree changing tubings is a big headache, but i using hydryx too, and its cloud the tubings, but the green uv effect had it covered, wht is the negative effect is the tubings is clouded? last time use gigabyte coolant, quite good also, only some light clouding compare to hydryx after 8-11 months of usage compare to hydrx..

I will b joining the wc club after I get the parts needed... And figure out how to fit it into my armor casing..

my enermax 500watt enough to powered up my 8800gts+ MCP655 12 VDC Pump+250gb hdd+80hdd+dvdrom or not?

do i need change my psu?still thinking how to set up my WC in smilodon case~

to tight in there~

any advise?

500watt i think for mcp655 not enough... smilodon case quite small leh u planing to integrate the radiator inside?.. what size of radiator u using?...

I'm using a 550W Gigabyte Odin and it powers:

8800GT
MCP-655
2 x 160GB HDD
1 x 500GB HDD
1 x DVD ROM
About 7-8 fans

i dont think to put the rad inside the case because its 3x120~

but its okay because no pain no gain~ wanna think 1st how to setup it~

back to the psu,do u think its not enough?

umm not sure wor... i think ur psu is almost at its limit already.. im also getting 3x120... not sure how to fit into my full tower armor casing yet...

go xtremesytem forum copycat.. LOL... i think if wan put radiator inside is place it at drivebays area, will left 1 slot for ur DVD rom, then place ur hdd beside the PSU, if not wrong armor got a HDD cage there... else place the radiator outside... u getting the thermochill radiator ? last time i consider armor and stacker stc-01 v4 go to wc, end up with stacker as its larger thn armor...

any one have test to bring the water down to 10C or lower?
i able to design a mini chiller use with water block.

haha.. yeah im getting thermochill radiator from irangan.. im considering to get a CM cosmos casing if i can sell out this casing...

fyi, the cosmos s top 3 120mm grill not suitable with thermochill unless u mod it, the only option for u is place it at drivebays or outside of casing, the thermochill rad fan tapping are different from swiftech and hwlabs...

Test yourself.I won't mind be the gunea pig when i have the liquid cool loop

if you add glyco to the water you able to bring to -30C but need to select the cap. tube.
now i am design a small heat exchanger (coper tubing / aluminum fin)
for the mini chiller.
last few year a company ask me to make a very small heat exchanger (coil) for computer cooling using water.

o_O... cosmos-s top 3x120mm grill not suitable?... there are 2 mounting methods... with fans outside the casing and inside... maybe can fit the thermochill rad using 1 of those methods...
