Warning : DO NOT post anything other than pictures/configurations of YOUR watercooling setup, screenies, etc. Please keep this thread clean and neat. To discuss about watercooling and results, click here. Thanks.

Overclockers United is getting a little stale so lets just spice things up shall we? Lets just post pictures of our watercooling setup along with screenies!



I'll start with my setup, a 24/7 folding@home AMD system.

AMD AthlonXP 1800+ DLT3C NIUHB 0334WPMW @ 2.54GHz @ 1.85v
Kingston HyperX PC3200 @ 242FSB 1:1 Dual Channel 2-2-2-11-1T @ 3.25vdimm
DFI NFII Ultra Infinity w/ Oskar Wu's 04/1/21 bios, 1.8vdd
Antec TruePower 480W

DangerDen RBX Lucite Top, 1/2" Fittings
Double Heatercore, 1/2" Fittings
Evercool 120mm fans x 4, Push n' Pull Config.
Nirox P3800 Pump
bulkhy's Custom Made Cylindrical Acrylic Reservoir
aleck's "Super Oil Tubings"
Distilled water. No additional coolant, yet.

First off is the Heatercore,

and comes the reservoir,

along with pics of the crudely sealed Nirox pump,

and of course, a shot of the entire wc system. Pretty simple loop w/o the GPU block.

The acrylic reservoir's shining glow is an effect of a Sunbeam's UV LaserLED passing through them. Quite pretty, but the heatercore's still without any fan shrouds sad.gif No pics of the RBX block as it's available all over the net.

Finally, here's a temperature screenie of the system running full-load folding@home (project 859) for >4 hours.
User posted image

At an ambient temperature of 32cą, the watercooling setup records an average load of 44cą, an increase of 12cą above ambient, with a 80wą processor, comes an amazing 0.15c/wą efficiency. Pretty "cool" I'd say. But of course, they are nothing more than guesstimates as I do not know the actual cpu temperatures and the wattages produced on the waterblock itself. smile.gif IIRC 2.2GHz @ default 1.5v does 35c idle and 37c/38cą full load. Will post up screenies of them later.

In the meantime, do post up pictures / screenshots / config of your own watercooling setup as well.

Edited : Changed the image storage provider. UploadIt.org expires sad.gif
Again, please post your questions & thoughts about watercooling here. Thanks. smile.gif

My first WC setup: (courtesy of bulkhy):
block ~ DDM3
pump ~ nirox P2800 (leaking all over so i used epoxy to fix it)
rad ~ custom made by bulkhy
res ~ custom made by bulkhy (very nice acrylic)
tubing ~ bought from hardware shop. RM0.60 a feet. aleck please send me better one.

Comment: ~ The temp slightly better than SP94/Tornado and I can sleep better now with the pc running 24/7. This WC setup meant for my next Mobile Barton setup. But with this result, I think I shud have one more set.

Here's my screenies after 25 hours 2 instances of prime at 3.5GHz. I am shooting for 3.6GHz stable.

Distilled water. No additional coolant.

Repositioned the heatercore to a better spot, added a little extra cooling aiming at the casing/motherboard and PCI exhaust blower to combat the heat generated from my new 9800SE-256bit, and voila! Mobile/Barton DOES run cooler than a Throughbred smile.gif

43c on load, 36c idle @ 32c ambient.
Sandra2004 reports 158W @ 2.0vcore. shocking.gif

overall look..

System:

- Lian Li PC6070A - Abit AI7
- P4 3.0C @ 3.54Ghz - 236fsb 1.6V
- 2x512MB Mushkin PC3200 Black Special 222


Temp:

Idle - no idle
Load - 49C

Btw, im not really satisfied wif my temp tho. Its kinda high. Im xpecting my temp to be lower than dis, below than 45C. Do Abit mobos really report high temp than it is? My temp b4 water cooled is around 62-64C w/out sidepanel n 68-70C wif sidepanel. IM still happy wif the setup. Managed to hit 236fsb at the moment, was at 226fsb. Mayb hav to get better radiator n pump? Any suggestion do pm me. Ok thanks.

Review:

Both the TDX and Maze4 GPU block has a pretty smooth and even base. Needs no lapping unlike my previous RBX. Estimated grit is around 600-800 grits. Very nice and clean. The INSIDE of the TDX is very shiny as well, in fact I've yet to see a block with the innards as shiny as the TDX. Unlike the RBX the base of the TDX now touches the 4 "core-protector" (I just cant remember the word!) and needs no additional ones placed on the sides to prevent the core from getting crushed.

Both performs well, and when placed together in a loop w/ a P2800 Nirox (Hydor L20 clone) along with a bulkhy's custom rad, temperature of the CPU is only around 47c full load Folding @ 2600mhz/1.85vcore(bios), 31c ambient. GPU core increased from 390mhz with stock heatsink to 440MHz core w/ slight unnoticable artifacts.

TDX is using the default accelerator plates and from the looks of it, the RBX plates should fit nicely.

Hie there, newbie here and hope to learn more here..anyway here's my bong (evaporative) setup. I know it won't work that efficient in hot and humid weather here in malaysia but still giving it a try as i'm quite out of budget for a heatercore/radiator for the time being. Anyway here's the spec and pictures:

CPU: AMD Barton 2500+
Clock Speed: 2.3gig (200X11.5)
RAM: 256 X 2 hynix d43 module
Waterblock: DangerDen RBX
Voltage : 2V
Temp (idle) CPU: 45 Case:33
Temp (load) CPU: 52 Case:35

My Alphacool Basic 120 kit... with 2 NMB 12cm fans from AllnGap. Just arrived today! thumbup.gif

1. The neXXos SP CPU block. Looks nice, although it's the bottom of the range.

user posted image

2. The Hydor L20 pump and Cape reservoir. The reservoir doesn't hold much water and the pump might not be able to take it when I add a VGA and chipset block later...

user posted image

3. The Black Ice Pro Radiator and two NMB 12cm fans I just received from AllnGap today. Looks a little like some kind of engine laugh.gif Fans are attached with velcro.

user posted image

4. Another pic of the radiator. It's sideways. The tubing tips the reservoir at an angle when I put the res upright (not enough room in my casing laaa...)

user posted image

5. The entire setup.

6. Another pic.

That's the 12cm fan that came with the alphacool kit in the background.

7. Purring along happily... Ms. Bellucci seems impressed...

Just finished one fan shroud. To tired to make the other one. It's made of aluminium. I kinda like it... will finish the other one and maybe spray it black next weekend...

Changed the fan to vnoob's evercools to test... I think I prefer the NMB's due to the speed control...

Bigwater, water block. Not the most shiny, but it is pretty well and flat. Make you wonder y it doesn't look like the outer edges. Note partial reflections of mobile phone.
The discoloured haze is the AS5.

how much it cost to build a simple type of watercooler

I explain based on my water system

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/kuc...er/IMAG0001.jpg


hmmm... bout the pricing... let me see.... the case for the water reservoir is around RM 30-40 ( because its acrylic.. but some can opt to use tupperwares or even brake fluid container.. ) ... the 12cm fan is about RM 28 at pasar road.. water pump is about rm 32 at pasar road... ( i'm sure a smaller pump will do that cost around rm 15) radiator is free cuz i took it from my car...( its the heater ) but if u want cheap radiators try go to any kedai potong kereta... i'm sure u can get nice ones for very cheap prices... after all who needs heater in malaysia ? the tubing is about RM 3 for 3 meters... and of coz... last but not least the water block... which cost around rm 150 at Overclockers Paradise... but i was in a hurry at that time .... didnt have time to look for other shops... but i think there are water blocks that are cheaper than that.... hmm i tried the net and i found one online store selling it for as low as 18 bucks that is about RM 60- RM 70.. I think overall it is about
Rm 230-RM240 including the acrylic reservoir...

Not sure if I qualify to post here. The WorkRig is now watercooled -sort-of...

Swapped out Thermalright XP-120 for the CoolerMaster Aquagate Mini. Was impressed by the simplicity of the design. No reservoir is a plus to me...

Installation time of less than an hour. If they had a simpler mobo mounting mechanism it was have been faster. Temps are a cool 40C idle and 50C max load with a FX-53. This one is a keeper!

More pics in the sig for those interested...

Here's mine. Corsair Cool kit using Coolermaster Thermal Conductivity Fluid for the cool blue looks. Unfortunately the blue fluid is not UV reactive. It's better than the green coolants though, doesn't leave a white gooey residue on the hoses.

Bro, if i were you, i will only use the CPU waterblock.
Why?

Coz that will make you're processor run cooler.
And you know you'reself that the processor is the most important part in a pc, and that's the highest temperature producer... smile.gif

My advise for you is, take out the northbridge waterblock, then use back the original northbridge heatsink...

This way, you can keep you're processor run cooler... wink.gif



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



To watercooling experts, kind to help me in watercooling a bit?

Now, i'm using "Air Suling" [can't remember the name in english sweat.gif ] for my watercooling loop.

1st question:
How do i make the water turns to UV green?
Is there any Car Coolant that meets the specification to turn my "Air Suling" to UV Green?

2nd question:
What's the measurement for mixing the water with the car coolant? blink.gif

Help me guys... icon_question.gif

Got bored with the transparent colour... sweat.gif
That's why i want to turn it to UV Green... wub.gif

***Please don't tell me to get those UV Green tubes... sweat.gif

You can use a coolant specifically designed for watercooling like the Swiftech Hydrx which comes in a 30ml bottle. The recommended mix for that is 1 bottle (2 fluid oz / 30 ml) to a litre of distilled water.

I have been using that for more than 4 months without degradation of colour and/or murkiness. BTW the Hydrx is green UV reactive. rclxm9.gif

You want to ask for everyone's opinion, you have to state your budget first, otherwise people can suggest even the most expensive watercooling set to you that would reach RM2K

So, state your highest budget. smile.gif

You won't get anywhere with that kind of budget.
For RM400, you can only get those crappy bigwater watercooling kit.

But, rather than spending your money on that bigwater watercooling kit, better use your money on a high end air cooling heatsink. laugh.gif

seems nice?
when the pump starts to give probs, then u will think otherwise.
compared to high end HSF's, u will see up to a 10 degree diff, depending on what HSF and what proc of course

A Thermalright Ultra 120 aircooling heatsink can beat the crap out of the TT Bigwater.

And the Ultra 120 can cool your processor at least 5 - 10 more than that stupid TT biwater.

Dead.
The pump is a chapalang pump.

It'll be dead easily.

As i've said earlier, if you really want to go for watercooling, fork out at least RM600, then PM uglyvamp for a budget starter kit of Swiftech Watercooling kit.

PC ICE Coolant - RM 110
Cooltrek Single Fan Radiator - RM 175

can it be enough to cool off a non OC E6600 C2D ?

and can i add on another DangerDen Maze4 GPU block - RM 200 yet does not face significant lost of cooling performance ??


anyway can Gigabyte Galaxy cool off CPU and GPU well (E6600 and 8800GTS)

why do you need to watercool a non oc cpu just like putting intercooler to normal engine... stock hsf is enuf to cool down non oc cpu, if temp too high try re-sit ur hsf

hahha .. the thing is 8800GTS produce quiet significant heat ....

so it increases the temperature of the entire system ... by 4c ..

beside the heaviness of the Ultra-120 is really bothering me now ...

more over the north bridge has quiet a lot of heat rises due to it closeness to the gc...

to be honest that wont do much justice to ur rig.
u will need a dual rad atleast, well if u wanna save cost then use distilled water. dont need to use all those coolants (though performance wise, its better to use the coolants)
the pump is god stuff, just that rad.
the galaxy kit will definately be enough to cool off the GTS, but dont expect FANTASTIC results biggrin.gif

doom,
i'm new to water cooling... wanted to switch to water cooling as my room is not air conditioned and my room wall is facing the setting sun (2pm - night) so it gets pretty hot in the evenings... any suggestion for a water cooling? or should i stick to air cooled?

can i know whether the Apogee GT is the "shower" type of just the normal inlet type without any small holes as in shower pipe?

off topic: where can you get Apogee GT for RM 170 ??? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
are you serious man? normally Apogee GT go for around RM200 - 210

It's not just about the Bigwater Pump, it's about the whole set.

Owh well, if you insist on taking that stupid, worthless, watercooling kit, up to you.
But don't be mad at me when i laugh at you when you know for yourself that watercooling kit is useless.

Have you not paying attention at what everybody is saying about bigwater WC kit? shakehead.gif

Comparison Between TT Bigwater Se Watercooling Kit & Thermalright Ultra 120 Aircooling Heatsink
*Used both on my Pentium D 930 overclocked to 4GHz

Bigwater SE: Idle: 56degrees
Ultra 120: 48degrees

Now then, you choose for yourself.
Seriously, i repeat again, if you seriously want to go for watercooling, fork out more money at least RM650

That RM400 bigwater watercooling kit is not even better than a RM200 Thermalright Ultra 120 Aircooling heatsink.

You want watercooling?
Fork out more money.
If you can't do that, then don't even dream of getting into watercooling. huh.gif

Seem like sHawTY really flaming like the panda ... hahhaha

@vailance

what sHawTY said is true and i am one of those that realize Bigwater SE is so useless compare to high end air cooling ....

the performance is no match to any high end cooler ... like Thermalright, Nortua and etc....

before u go for it u better check out review of the block used by Thermaltake, switech, Koolance and Danger Den...

u will understand why people here wont suggest u to go for Bigwater Kit ...

apart from the performance... RM400 for the kit is useless might as well buy a high end CPU and CPU cooler ... that can perform on par ...

furthermore think of the maintenance of wc kit ... it's not assemble and can use for a year ... checking leakage, tube, water level and etc would be needed regularly .. further more cleaning is not as easy as u think ..

that's why if u serious about wc better prepare more budget and get something decent and no regret for any RM u spent on the Bigwater Kit

agree with u all... even the cheap water cooling kit sold by ngbh oso beat the bigwater... i currently using swiftech kit and its really good water cooling kit...
@ point blanc
i think wat u mean the shower type water block is jet impingement block like the storm or aquaxtreme mp-05 series.

lichyetan,

finally someone understands what i mean... sorry for the lack of detail in my previous reply..

does the jet impingement block better than the normal type?
what i'm trying to say is the jet impingement spray like a shower, wouldn't that create air bubbles and impaired the performance?

regards,

Yes it does ... works better with more heat being dissipate..

although it looks like blocking but actually it is flowing through only .

bout rm800+ if calculate all the blocks and accessories... which costed me a bomb on cooling... i did so by upgrading 1 by 1... at start my setup is juz a mcr-220QP, nirox pump and apogee block.. then i add those blocks and change and upgrade things and took me bout more thn 1/2 year to get my desired loop complete...
temps are 38c-40c core temp idle for my opty 170 @ 1.45v and 49-50c load.
stock vcore temp is 36-38c idle, 44-45c load... quite decent cause my loop also cooling down my x1950XT which idle @ 41-43c, @48-50c load(NFS: Carbon)

hello.. im currently using nirox pump, mcr220 rad and aquaextreme cpu block setup.. and using 1/2 tubing.. i found that 1/2 tubing is so hard... i wan to use swiftech 655 pump but i comes with 1/2 tubing.. im thinking of changing to 3/8 tubing.. so it will be more soft and 'cute'..

the reason y i want to change to 3/8 tubing there`s a lot of accessories support until 3/8 tubing like thermaltake reservoir and flow meter and secondly 1/2 tubing is hard... infact many of bling2 for wc kit in malaysia support only 3/8 inch tube..

any suggestion? can i use 3/8 tubing at 655 pump?

or any suggestion which 1/2 tubing is a bit soft and gud?

try 7/16" ID 5/8" OD tubing. smile.gif it looks smaller and a bit softer than 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing due to thinner walls.
what brand tubing are u using now?
you wont notice any performance difference switching to 7/16" ID tubing.

Go to radiator shops (you can ask car repair people where to find such shops). They can mod the radiator for you too, but you might have to make a very customised order if you want a 92mm radiator. Probably have to cut an existing radiator into half-most of the radiators those shops have are at least 200mm across.

I am looking for retail water cooling with can cool both my CPU and GPU. My CPU reached 70'C meanwhile my GPU reached 90'C last nite during a full load.

Got 1 shop selling CM Aquagate RL-HUC-E8U2 which can cool both at incredible RM399. However, it support up to 940 socket and not AM2. Please advise.

Good?
That's a matter of opinion.
If you're really serious in watercooling em gpu & cpu, be ready to fork out RM1K for it.
Else if you can't for em them budget, just stick with aircooling.

Don't just go watercooling because it's watercooling, go watercooling because you really need em and you have enough budget for em. smile.gif

This is a "real" watercooling kit that worth every single penny you spent rather than getting that CM crap.

CPU Waterblock: D-TEK FuZion = RM245
GPU Waterblock: Swiftech MCW60-R = RM199
Radiator: Cool-Trek DP1203 = RM315
Pump: Swiftech MCP655-B (Laing D5) = RM335
Reservoir: Swiftech MCRES Micro = RM90
Tubes: Masterkleer 1/2" ID, 3/4" X10 Feet: RM75

Total: Kira Sendiri.

This is the real deal.
If you can't afford it, then don't bother going for watercooling with those CM or TT thingie.
Just stick with aircooling if you can't afford it.

Yeah, i may sound harsh, but this is the truth. smile.gif

If you can't afford it, then don't bother going for watercooling with those CM or TT thingie.
Just stick with aircooling if you can't afford it.

Yeah, i may sound harsh, but this is the truth. smile.gif

sHawTY may sound harsh, looking at his reply memang harsh, nice guy actually nod.gif ...but he's right.My roomie's so called pro TT bigwater failed on him.All i could do is help him get tht nonsence out.When i go watercooling its going to be exactly or closer to sHawTY's choice listed ther.sHawTY show sum picz of ure cool stuff with tht ultra of urs sweat.gif envy you man.. biggrin.gif

or maybe other cheaper option like

apogee gt rm199
mcw-60r rm199
nirox p2800 (aqua) pump rm40
mcr220-qp rm195
mcres micro rm90
tubing as u like, those normal pvc oso can but harder to install...
2 liter battery water rm5 (at petronas station)

less than rm800 for complete with gpu block as starter kit lor...

try looking into garage sales... something like this link provided or any 2nd hand private sales...

finally my wc kit has been successfully installed on my mobo n running (it's not in my pc as i haven't got my casing back yet, so i run them naked on my table)...

my wc loop:
reservoir > pump > 2 x radiators > cpu > gpu > nb > reservoir

all parts from swiftech as below
MCRES micro > MCP655-B > 2 x MCR220-QP > Apogee GT > MCW60-R > MCW30 > MCRES micro

some pictures:

well, i haven't got the time to actually proper set the kit n i also need some time to set for new hardware i just purcased... however temp has been good showing drop of about 6 to 7 degree when cpu idle, load temp drop a massive 13 to 15 degree... while the gpu benefit the most in this wc project, idle temp drop of more than 15 n load temp is even more impressive, below 50 degree... it was around 75 degree with ori hsf...

i'll take some more time to take a better look at this kit n see if i can improve the temp of my rig...

Good to hear that more people is joining the WC wagon. Hehe..

Actually, IMO WC is a must if u are a quad user. Too hot for an air cooling to handle.

@HaHaNoCluE
You can gain better if u use a better block for your cpu and GPU.

Currently I am using a modded Alphacool NexXxoS XP CPU Block for GPU. Its worked MUCH MUCH better than MCW60 on my 8800gts cuz its have bigger surface area. MCW60 is too small to cover whole surface of 8 series GPU.

@DaRkSyThE

maybe u can start up with simpler kit at 1st... with nirox pump, n pvc tubing... coz those can save a lot in cost... i still can't find a suitable case yet but i'm trying to figure out if i can fit everything into a lian li v2000 case... but atm, i'm having my fren to do me a small case to fit the rads n pump, n will try to locate the smaller case to the bottom of my existing case... maybe i'll get it screw together too, so i can move them easily n it'll looks like 1 piece...

i'm not sure bout that, to be truth, i might not pick the best parts but maybe it's the best of what i can get n with the amount of money i can pay... i don't know too much knowledge about all this wc parts, but i know i won't get lost with compatibility issues if i get all from in 1 brand... i was planning for mcp355 but it only uses smaller id barbs... but for the gpu, i guess i'm pretty happy with the performance, i mean mine is running at factory pre-oced at 550/1800 n load temp has never go beyond 50 degree mark... compare to last time of 75 or near 80 on hot days... o ya, with the nb block, i can now drop the vmch slightly lower too... isn't it amazing??? maybe now i can go for higher fsb... hahaha...

2. Change from HydrX Distilled water to PC Ice UV Blue
3. Change those normal worm clamp to germany imported clamp (no grease. yahoo!)
4. Added a GC block smile.gif

Actually, U6 is quite light weight... Previously I worry that the water block itself will crack the card due to its weight. But luckily 8800gts used 2 slots, so I managed to mount it firmly without any hassle by disperse the weight on those 2 screws.

i always hook up a support string at the end of the card (got one mounting hole) reduce the weight pressure ...

do you guys realize if you place the radiator out of casing will increase the performance.even the tubing was slightly longer ?
mind to share wat you think ?
i've try tat on my setup ,it did increase performance.just wanna know others...

I have the same thought coz the radiator could benefit cool air out side of the case rather than using hot air within the case ...

the only issue of having radiator outside is spoil the beauty of the case ...

further more having rad outside the case reduce the exhaust capability of the case ...

it depends wat's the casing u r using n ventilation of the casing n how u place ur radiator... but having a longer or shorter tubing doesn't really make much or any different in the cooling performance... unless u r talking bout xtra a few metres... if juz by a few inches, then u won't notice the temp different... i tried that... i wanted to make a smaller case the the bottom being open... n the rads n pump will be in the smaller case... then i'll have my rig casing on top of the smaller casing so they look like a match... with an opened bottom... the rads can take fresher air from the bottom n maybe another 120mm fan supplying fresh air via front intake in the small case... but my rig will end up a little taller with the small case added at the bottom... but i still prefer my rig in 1 piece... can't afford ah lian v2000... cry.gif

That's why loh, I would just grab a a case with decent internal ariflow than mount the rad outside then .. .

It's more performane promosing .. will get it done after this trip in hunting for some nice fan to use on the rad..

Putting radiator inside ur case is perfectly ok if your case have good ventilation. It is also reduce the noise level of your rig as the fans for the radiator is inside the case.

@Doom
What fan you are hunting? S Flex? Panaflo?

cooler master stacker stc-01 casing are quite good for water cooling, i saw lotsa forumers in xtremesystem forum using it as its cheaper compare to v2000 and tj-07 which is also a good case for water cooling. one thing bad for stacker stc-01 is its freaking heavy. i think thermaltake armor also not bad if u plan to mount the radiator on the front bays and mount ur hdds on the hdd cage beside psu. btw, here is some pics after i change tubings and redone my loop, but didnt add a 2nd radiator as it will quite cramp inside and also havent flush the new radiator, so my 2nd radiator plan delayed.

doom, ur setup is almost same as me but ur temp are much more better, my 1950xt + AMD 3800+ Oced to 2.8ghz with 1.48vcore are quite hot.
CPU idle: 33-39 @ ambient bout 28-31c load: 43-48c
GPU idle: 39-41 @ ambient bout 28-31c load: 45-51c
3dmark2006 i get 45c for gpu. But when playing games such as ghost recon @ high res or other latest games at high res for few hours, thn will get 51c max frm my ati tray tools temp monitor.
The difference between ur loop and mine is the GPU block and PUMP, i using MCP-650 D4 instead of latest D5 and also using aquaxtreme mp-01 instead of swiftech vga block which uses same design as apogee.

I'm really happy with the performance of the VGA block ..

however for the CPU block, I think it could work better if I bowed the surface .. but I think I could live with it since I don't OC ...

very impressive... i can't get my e6600 to idle at 30'c even at stock speed... n i'm using dual rads... but i tried running only 1 rad but temp is cpu idle at 43'c (400 x 9, 1.5vcpu), running dual down to 40'c... but dual rads imrpove the temp of the 8800gts a lot... idle 48'c with sigle rad, dual is 40 to 42'c... but my system temp is 35 or more coz i didn't place my pc at very nice air flow area... dun like to set my air cond to max, so room temp is at somewher 26 to 28... ohmy.gif

i think new intel Core 2 series also run much more cooler compare to amd x2 as its using 65nm technology and also more power efficient compare to my x2 3800+ (s939) which using 90nm technology.

here's my finished product after days of head-cracking where to place stuffs.
finally, got them all in and also hiding the cable.

started the system and to my surprise, the cpu temp is 48-49c...at BIOS i.e. totally idle. it's worth than my aircooling experience. must be something wrong with my setup but couldnt figure it out. the ambient is quite hot also, around the same as the cpu temp but even after few seconds after start-up, entered bios, the cpu temp already 48-49c whereas the ambient is just around 35c...i have no idea what to check, the loop seems working ok.
any idea is greatly appreciated. fyi, this is my first time using WC, so u can imagine my surprise when got that kind of temp. was hoping it would be around 30c or at least sub-35. very frustrated.
any idea, guys - WC sifu?

here's the pic of my setup:
the 1st pic is the final product, the other 3 was during the leak test.

WC Setup:

CPU Block: Swiftech Apogee GT
Water Pump: Swiftech MCP655-B
Radiator: Cool-Trek DP1202
Tubing: Masterkleer 1/2" ID 3/4" OD
Reservoir: Swiftech MCRES Micro
Coolant: Pure Distilled Water

BTW, I've already added another 120mm fan at the radiator, originally only one due to the clearance issue.

CPU Block:     Swiftech Apogee GT
Water Pump:  Swiftech MCP655-B
Radiator:       Cool-Trek DP1202
Tubing:          Masterkleer 1/2" ID 3/4" OD
Reservoir:     Swiftech MCRES Micro
Coolant:        Pure Distilled Water

BTW, I've already added another 120mm fan at the radiator, originally only one due to the clearance issue.

48'c to 49'c??? that seems a bit high for 3.5ghz Q6600 G0 stepping... but ur installation seems very clean... maybe u still got air bubble trap in ur loop...

that's the problem...i couldnt find the problem cry.gif ...no air buble, the water flow is very clean n smooth...
anyway, running Q6600 G0 at 3.5G wif 1.38v, what do u think the acceptable temp?

try get the air bubble out frm the radiator as radiator mounted at the top tends to trap air bubbles inside easily, try remount ur waterblock, i also experience high temp cause of poor water block mounting. Try use core temp to check the temp instead of bios temp sensor.

just using the bios temp as a comparison of what i had using air cooling with similar system setup...
since i've already ran the leak test for 13-14 hours and the water flow seems to be stable and clean from buble - bled done. so, i think i can rule out the air buble from the rad.
the remount of the waterblock is going to be my next choice. gonna do it tomorrow - just got back from shopping, too tired already.
thanks for the feedback thou thumbup.gif

anyway, i've moved my question/issue to the right place : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...760&p=13080470&

remysix: you just assembled the set and bled it that way with the casing upright and you didn't tilt it at all? if that is so, i can pretty much bet that there is still air inside the radiator.

since the inlet to your rad is on the side facing u, and the outlet on the other side, you have to tilt the entire casing towards you to get the air out. but you would also have to be aware of air going back into the loop from the reservoir.
thus, for those having their rads on top, i recommend plumbing the inlet side of the rad to be on the side away from you, and the outlet of the rad would be the one nearer to you. thus this way you can dismount the reservoir (and hold it upright to prevent air from going back into the loop) and tilt the casing full flat to the ground away from you to allow the air out of the rad. if you have someone to help you, you can then ask him to hold the res upright while you tilt the case around according to the flow of the res to get the air out.

reason behind this is because these radiators are two pass rads. the water enters from one of the inlets, flow down to the end of the rad on one half of the radiator, then at the chamber at the end, the water makes a turn round to the other half of the rad and flows back to the outlet. so when you bleed your radiator, bear this in mind to tilt the radiator according to the flow direction. air will always be above water, so use basic science lah to flow the air out.

easiest way to bleed radiator, mount the radiator at bottom at the case with barbs facing up, no need to turn it around as air bubbles tends to go up to highest point of the loop. so if ur reservoir is above the radiator then its easier to bleed.

dun expect so much from WC to Q6600....
stock HSF easily get 90C under load...
i've similar setup like you....
Idle = 35-40C
load = 60-65C
tats the best i can do before Metalzone bro send me Fuzion...
let the TIM settle you'll get slightly better result...
3.85g@1.39v daily use.

ya lor...but mine load wif 71c...since i've use the same proc on hsf last time, it is logical for me to expect better temp wif WC, dun u think so and can u imagine that at idle it was 44c, load 71c (3.6G@1.45v). it was 27c different.
using hsf - geminiII & xigmatek, highest temp is around that la...71c but normally lower.

anyway, now i know that the problem is the contact between my proc and the cpu block. no matter how i mount it, it will produced the same result. my next probable option is to bow the GT, so hopefully can get better contact and better temp.

i promise you can get improvement if you can put you RAD outside your casing...i saw your rad might not get enough cooling...
unless you blow it hard....
i've 6pcs silent fan push>pull low noise...if i put it near my casing it gimme 70+...if put it away i can get some improvement...

i think by bow the GT, u will have much lower load temp.
your problem was most probably from the GT block surface too flat, can make a good contact with your processor IHS.

anyway, had u lapped proc IHS?

but you posted in my thread u wanted smtg submersible right?
the Laing D5 and DDC CANNOT be submerged.
so that leaves you with the Eheim's, Nirox's, and the most silent one would be the little D-TEK DB-1. I'm trying to get hold of some of those DB-1's.

wonder how silent is silent...the D5 is silent enuff for me, unless u put ur ear 1 inch from the pump, u wont notice it. but then if submersible, then cannot la.
tomorrow i'm taking my day off to fix my WC loop. even after bowing the GT, still couldnt get the nice temp i want. my G0 is too concave i think coz when i used another proc, the temp is just great. the option left is to lap the proc but then again if i hadnt bow the GT it might be ok, now edi bowed it, dunno what lapping will do...it could be better but might get worst...and lapping a retail proc is really really my last option.

the D5 is already quite silent. silent enough for me. it will make noise if the vibration isn't dampened. the DDC and DB-1 makes less vibration.

according to cooling master's test, lapped+bowed is better than lapped+unbowed. so don't worry about that. but course, lapping the CPU=warranty void.

for sure the lapping will void the warranty...that's why quite reluctant to do so.
anyway, i've re-did my WC after a long 7 hours of effort. taking out the rad and put it outside - at the back, re-positioned the fans. getting a better temp now compared to previous setup. running at 3.6G wif 1.45v/1.42vdrop - load temp is 62-64c rclxms.gif . and did that using artic seramic - ran out of my MX-1. need to get MX-2 quickly. maybe could shave a few more C.

From my experience comparing my previous E6600 & my present Q6600 G0, teh quaddy is a lot cooler compared to the e6600.
Quite shock with the temperature differences though.
As you all know, i'm always on 400X8 @ 3.2GHz since the first day i'm on my first E6600 ES. laugh.gif

Yes, the Q6600 B3 is hot, a lot hotter than the Q6600 G0. [Tested myself sweat.gif ]

no difference bro

so far the only difference in gaming i have seen is supreme commander.
the newer games stresses the gpu even more than proc speed.

silly for ppl to buy q6600 so late in the game when penryn is coming.

i think submersible is like ur aquarium la...the pump itself is directly placed in the tank and no need to put the tubing (ada betol ka)...inline --> 2 part of tubing in the same line tongue.gif tongue.gif one coming in and one coming out and it is not to be put in the water...

yeah. thats right. if u submerge, u only attach the tubing for the outlet. since u submerge the whole pump underwater, you don't need to attach the inlet barb because the pump just draws in the water directly from the bucket/tank/reservoir.
but submerging the pump also adds heat dump into the loop; coz all heat produced by the pump goes into the water, as opposed to venting some of the heat out into the surrounding air when setup inline.

i'm awaiting stock for the Xtreme III (3x120mm). the build quality is similar to the cool-trek's, which i can assure you is better than swiftech rads. according to my sources, it performs well. i'm guessing one notch below thermochill PA's for low airflow performance perhaps.
however, beware of cheap imitations with too good to be true prices. the worse case of china copy china.

ic .. coz I was thinking of getting one of those to replace my current crappy swiftech MCR220Q ..

I have problem with mounting the fans properly as the screw holes of the rad just not identical between one another ..

Some could be screwed properly with the supplied screws while some can't ... so thinking to get that rad and mount it inside the case ...

I hope the single rad could beat swiftech dual rad... if not as long as doesn't fall far ...

If only I could just do some simple mod for water tube pass through holes on my new case .. It would save me the hassle of keeping the single rad inside the case ....

btw can the inlet and outlet of Swiftech Micro reservoir being reverse mounted ..

would that effect the performance.. ??

hope anyone could clear my Qs...

nope, on this generation of flat tubed radiators, a 2x120 will still be better than a 1x120. even a thermochill PA120.1 (1x120) can't beat a swiftech MCR220 (2x120), although a thermochill PA120.2 (2x120) can equal an MCR320 (3x120).
the above assumption is assuming there is sufficient heat load. with you having a CPU and GPU block, a single 120 is not going to be enough.

about the reservoir, technically it will work, however there are downsides. the flap inside the reservoir will be pretty much devoid of it's purpose, so just make sure there is sufficient water inside the res. the reason why outlets are always placed below OR equal height to the inlets is so that air bubbles coming out of the loop(flowing into the res from the inlet) don't get sucked back into the outlet(which goes back to the pump). so if you have the outlet above the inlet, bleeding the system will take longer (how much longer is subjective though).


about the screw misalignment, quite a number radiators suffer from this problem, and swiftech is no exception. higher quality radiators like the cool-trek, alphacool, thermochill's are much better although it's no 100% guarantee that all screw holes are perfectly aligned due to the way they are made.

hmm ic ic ..

I was worry with the bubbles generated within the loop due to lack of fluid ...
reservoir not filled up.. .

Seems like I got not choice to go single rad coz there's no way to mod without tool..

As for the rad screw hole .... is there any other solution ?

coz I see pretty much all those wc rig setup in hardforum or bit tech has got all the screws installed ...

Thanks for the explanation ... I've been waiting for ur reply ...

hahahah u are the master here .. .

theres nothing much that can be done if the screw hole is misaligned. while i was doing my friend's rig, the swiftech MCR320 had one screw on each end that was misaligned to the top radiator blowhole/intake that I had made. I have to screw in every screw otherwise it would look weird so I had no choice but to re-drill the hole and tap the threads again although it was quite a crude job. but at least after the screw is in, you can't tell what it looks like underneath.

bro, is ok to put rad outside my case while i'am preparing to mod my case ?
btw, how much it take if we put the 12 fan at radiator ? (cm)
coz i see there is a quite long distance between top side case and my PSU.

what are you trying to ask my friend .. the distance could only be measured by urself coz different setup required own specific length ..

besides the term 'mod' would not be suitable to be use in this scenario ..

if ur mod refer to setting up the hardwares inside, it should be fine but there's risk things might falls..

if ur mod refer to cut and paint ur case, then having the rad outside is not a good practice.

@Doom :haaa...sory. I clicked wrong button. ya ya ya..ic

My case is antec P160. I am planning to get WC setup from MTZ. But i know that i must mod my top side panel. Well i dont have any skill to do it. That's why i am asking put rad outside case. Anw, what is the risk ? what think can cause fail WC setup?

QUOTE

i am asking if i put fan such as san ace at Cool-trek DP1202 what it's going to take the measure ? coz there is quite free space between my psu tagan U25 600W and top side antec P160. but, i'm not measure yet biggrin.gif

Hmm there won't be much risk except following:

Drop, Got bumped, bent the fins...

But it all depend how u setup it outside of a case .. .some people drill for holes at the top panel to secure the rad outside of the case .. it works but doesn't looks nice and u would need a long screws to do so ...

It could be fit into your case at the top panel but like u said have to mod it ..

I estimated the fan with rad should be 25mm+35mm..

It could fit but really to tight for air to flow through ... unless u mount it half of it within the rom slot.

If u are going to put the rad on top ... make sure when u filling the coolant .. tilt the case a bit to the right and left to make sure all the air trapped within the rad could be pushed out to achieve steady state.

The size of the radiator varies between different models...

Swiftech MCR220-QP: 284mm long x 128mm wide x 34mm thick

Cool-Trek DP1202: 303mm long x 126mm wide x 46mm thick

120mm fans typically come in two thickness, 25mm and 38mm. Regular case fans and silent fans are typically 25mm thick.

Lets say your rad is 46mm thick, and your fan is 25mm thick, it would total up to 71mm.

I think either way it would fit if the rad is installed from ROM slot extend to before PSU area.. that would be easily work with and has more airflow ..

provided the intake within the case is brilliant ...

Well that's often the most feasible solution with top mounted radiators. But you probably won't be able to use the top three 5.25" bays minimum except for short devices.

I managed to squeeze a 3x120mm rad in my friend's TT shark above the PSU. pretty much extended from the front to the back of the case, and used the PSU's 120mm fan to suck air thru the rad, and i had to trim 5mm off one of the fans. (don't debate the effectiveness tongue.gif it isn't the optimum way cooling wise but it's was the only possible way to have everything fully internal)

yah ... which isn't easy to get it done cos lots of precise cutting is needed ...

I think I would ended up with another case this time and mount the rad out side .. coz A05 run of stock here ..

anyway would be getting a few other parts this time ... to complete the setup ...

It should be able to suport both C2D and 478 ..

however at the price pay, I rather recommend u to use higher end air cooler ...

for example, thermalright, xigmatek or zalman ..

Never venture into cheap wc kit that comes in box, it would never perform well and gave u the hassle of dealing with installation and occupy spaces..

if u interested with water cooling fork out RM600 at least else safe ur money for other usage..

water cooling compatibility isn't determine through processors system but the platform ..

Check the supported platform list:
K8, K9, LGA 775, 478

if LGA 775 is listed which definitely is... then it supports it loh ..

dun change to nirox pump, stick with ur gigabyte pump, go for the mcp-655, nirox are almost same with stock gigabyte pump and easily get clicking sound, i have been using nirox pump, both got clicking sound case, ended up using 2nd hand mcp-650.

muhahah ,, that would take u sometimes in the coming year ...

probably closer, who knows how good each pump could last ...

Anyway, I think u could thought off rather spending a bit here and there..

Just safe a large some of money and buy in once.. coz water block doesn't get outdated easily, especially for those that are good one.

Can last you two years for sure.. performance also difficult to left behind by new release in large margin ... usually about 2 to 3 degrees ..

Which is why cascade and phase change come into play .. but too hassle and kill electricity higher.

Beside invest good in once and u would actually see the difference of performance clearly.

hahah ... just suggestion only, still down to your desire and decision as well as budget ...

btw change ur signature lah .. since u have got the lovely wc kit .. time to show off a bit ...don't be shy

its part of the experience and journey of your cooling adventure... tongue.gif so just next time do abit more reasearch and dun trust reviews. scan the forums for user feebback which are usually right.. smile.gif and forumers are never afaraid to critisize .. unlike most reviewers are pressured not to report faults, or are under contract... they ont want to piss the companies off coz tehy want future review units...

hehhe either D-Tek Fuzion GPU or Swiftech MCW60 ... those are recommended if covering the full card isn't needed. Especially D-Tek Fuzion would be a nice one... I would be getting it soon with the CPU block as well ..

If u prefer full cover GPU block than Danger Den and EK has some good offers .. but it's just hard to get one in Malaysia ...

hehhe either D-Tek Fuzion  GPU or Swiftech MCW60 ... those are recommended if covering the full card isn't needed. Especially D-Tek Fuzion would be a nice one... I would be getting it soon with the CPU block as well ..

If u prefer full cover GPU block than Danger Den and EK has some good offers .. but it's just hard to get one in Malaysia ...

try go for MCW-60, the d-tek gpu block is too restrictive, but their fuzion cpu block are one of the most high flow less restrictive block in the market.

it should work as teh clearencewhere the barbs are is very suffu\icient... uni sink basically is wat the names says.. one heatsink for all the heat producing chips. best thing about it is that its held by screws.. not thermal tape... basically any block similar size to the dtek gpu block should work

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 ...

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 ...

i just tried to overclock my CPU again. at 1st, i try to set it 3.0 directly but it crashed then i try to overclock it step by step from 2.6 > 2.7 >2.8 and> 2.9. once reach 2.9 Ghz, in the BOIS hardware monitor, the temperature raised till 57 degree. then i reduced it back to 2.6 and the temperature drop back to 47 degree. what cooler should i use for overclock it till 4.0 Ghz? i checked my board, the highest Voltage available is 1.450V but i'm currently using 1.400V. is 1.450 enough to tweaked it to 4.0Ghz?

a lil update on my CM690. With dual rad mounted on top.

Unfortunately, im very very short of tools and ill just make do with some china made RM5 soldering tool and melt down the plastic top panel. Got a dremel tool from moderno.. but malfunctioned = =

The cutting on the metal top part of my cm690 isnt well done due to not having proper tools... though it cant be seen when the top panel is covered so it isnt really an issue for now.

The whole top is fully solder/cut sweat.gif

Fits perfectly!!! what a relief after some rough measurement is done.

Yup... you didnt see wrong, the GPU short tubes are the gas tubes. DIdnt have enough clearflex for it, though i think the extra hard gas tubes actually serves its purpose well there.

honestly, i also dont have any wc yet... from my experience in READING about wc, thermaltake and cooler master dint produce good quality of their wc... corsair, zalman, d-tek, thermochill, swiftech, cool-trek is an example of good wc products..

in my opinion, better u save/find more money to buy quality products cos ur playing electronic devices with liquid.. laugh.gif

my advise for you based on my own experience. Before my final setup, i was a Thermaltake Bigwater 735 user with dual TT Rad. Honestly speaking, despite performing not up to par, at least it is silent in a way, when rad is mounting externally, overall case temp is lowered since the heat from the proc is carried away externally unlike Air cooling, where air will most likely stays in the case before being carried away by your exhaust.

There are pro and cons, however, i never regret my purchase on Bigwater 735 as i learnt most of my WC lessons from there.

If you have a RM400 budget, id advise you to save up more and get a decent watercooling set.

My setup as of now -

Apogee GT = RM200
Swiftech MCW60-R = RM200
Cool-Trek DP1202 = RM235
MCRES Micro Reservoir = RM85 (Optional, you can replace this with a T joint)
Nirox P3800 (1500L/H) pump with brass barbs = RM45+24
Tubings (Clearflex) = RM50 (if you're tight on budget, go visit your hardware shop and look for those gas tubes, a good quality ones only cost you approx RM2 per feet)
Coolant + Distileld water (1Litre) = RM20+10
Miscelaneous = RM10 (zipties, clamps, etc)

Total RM879

Performance difference vs bigwater? Significant!!

Im totally satisfied even if it cost me that much. Again, i wont hessitate to invest in a proper cooling system, it is still useable on upgrades and wont go to waste.. not so soon lol.

Remember, its about performance, not the "cool" factor.

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to WC. You guys post lots of info on local WC stuff and it helps. I already decide to get some stuff from Matelzone but still did not place any order for it.

I need some info guys

1) Is the blue Gigabyte coolant ok, I like the color it match my casing led color.

2) Can I install my rad at any position (up-right or side-way).

Thanks.

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 ...

Hi all,im getting a SG03 and from the information i got, My CPU cooler cannot exceed 78mm in height,want to ask the sifus here got any recommendations for good performance,and not-so-tall waterblocks. After adding tubes must be lower than 78mm. I know my Bigwater SE can do it,but im not really satisfied with Bigwater's performance. If possible,i would like a 1/2" tube WC system. Thanks.

Thermaltake WC kit no worth to go, better invest the same money to get hight end heatsink(eg:thermalright )

if u want to get WC kit get swiftech, danger den, d-tek etc, but you need to spend more. blush.gif

As long it is liquid, you can use it in your system but of course dont put those stuff that can damage ur setup. Hehe... Some of my friend used battery, car coolant, motor coolant and so on. But in the end, distilled water plus biocide is the best smile.gif

True also... But alot of battery water is actually tap water.. So make sure u get those branded battery water. Hehe..

Biocide ar... Wait ar.. I go google. Haha.. Dont know how to explain in detail

QUOTE
A biocide is a chemical substance capable of killing different forms of living organisms used in fields such as medicine, agriculture, forestry, and mosquito control.


Conclusion... Its will prevent alga from growing in ur coolant. e.g. those Swiftech Hydrx (MetalZone selling it for Rm20 each bottle). Just mix it with distilled water (5%) and use it as ur coolant.

Nothing to sorry about.... Everyone is newbie before smile.gif

Remember to use clean/distilled water to mix the hydrx. And remember to clean ur radiator and block nicely before installing it.

not a good idea due to Storm's inherent restrictiveness. Tested it before. At least a loss of 3-4C due to the HMax deficit.

@liechytan: how did you mount your MCRes? Can't seem to figure it out yet on mine. And yes, using good old stacker too

Bro, nice setup.. But your case is really crowded.. Probably it is time to upgrade ur case smile.gif

Anyway, why you dont want to go for T Line in order to save space? Besides that, Swiftech HydrX will cloud your tubing real fast compare to other coolant. e.g. PC Ice and Distilled Water + Biocide. Oh ya.. What tubing is that? Masterkleer?

i use masterkleer for 1/2 ID tubings and 3/8ID Kuritec tubings. I dont have those T-Line accessories, such as the dangerden fillport, and also it takes quite a long time to bleed if using t-line, and ended up using reservoir which bleed faster and easier. So far i think Hydryx still acceptable la, PC ICE too expensive, initially plan to use distilled water, but end up using hydryx. Hmm, wat case u recommend me for dual loop setup? i think stacker are still serve me well, intro me some nice and big enough case to me bro, might consider upgrade in the future...

True also... But T Line can save you alot space. Hehe...

Can you track how its take for your tubing to cloud? At least we can prove whether the statement of hydrx stain your tubing real fast, true or not.

Talk about casing ar... Of course if you have the cash, you must get a Lian Li 343B for your dual setup. One of my friend is using that case and it is 'the' case for watercooling.

user posted image

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showth...7&highlight=343 <<< Read for more Info.

a very nice dual radiator setup on it.

If you are tight on budget, probably just go for big case like Lian Li V2000 Plus II. I dont want sounds like Lian Li fan boys but before getting my V2000. I did alot of research on those 'big' casing (Silverstone and so on) and in the end I decided to go for V2000 cuz I can fit 2 radiator at least inside the case without any heavy modification.

Nice setup on V2000

You can add another dual radiator below the Triple rad. Stack on it.

Your temp is kind of high... I think you can gain better result if you switch the pump between your loops. DB1 for CPU and ur more powerful D4 for the gpu and so on.

i think its quite ok since its 1.525vcore in bios and 1.5 report in ASUS probe and 1.472 by CPU-Z, using swiftech temp calc for 220compact kit the temp compared is 6c higher then my setup with ambient around 30c w/o aircond. The load temp i reported full load under prime95 small FFT's and Intel TAT stress... so i think my proc mayb are hotter batch.

@irangan,
Ya, should have switch loop for the pump, as the fuzion block are super restrictive, but its still acceptable as delta of 4c only between load and idle by gpu and nb temp kept at 41c +- 2c when load. I think its normal for NB amd GPU loop, do u think the CPU temp is normal? i think its normal as swiftech temp calc are higher then my temp, but based on ur experience, possible hotter batch intel proc?

and also my asus probe reporting higher temp and flunctuate between 60-50c when load, probably wrong temp reporting, Intel TAT and Core temp report lower temp.

a single d5 will do but u might get better result with 2 x d5 if u r running several water blocks (ie. gpu, nb, cpu, etc) but a single resevoir will be sufficient... brows.gif

i think its quite ok since its 1.525vcore in bios and 1.5 report in ASUS probe and 1.472 by CPU-Z, using swiftech temp calc for 220compact kit the temp compared is 6c higher then my setup with ambient around 30c w/o aircond. The load temp i reported full load under prime95 small FFT's and Intel TAT stress... so i think my proc mayb are hotter batch.

@irangan,
Ya, should have switch loop for the pump, as the fuzion block are super restrictive, but its still acceptable as delta of 4c only between load and idle by gpu and nb temp kept at 41c +- 2c when load. I think its normal for NB amd GPU loop, do u think the CPU temp is normal? i think its normal as swiftech temp calc are higher then my temp, but based on ur experience, possible hotter batch intel proc?

and also my asus probe reporting higher temp and flunctuate between 60-50c when load, probably wrong temp reporting, Intel TAT and Core temp report lower temp.
*
40+'C for NB is kind of high... Have you try to remount the NB block? I think should be got contact problem.

Ur cpu temp too is kind of at the high side but most likely due to your 'hot' processor. Like I said before, my celeron 420 running at 38'C idle under WC and aircond but only 22'+C for my E8400. Hehe..

Its depends much on ur setup. If 2 rad + 1 cpu block, should be ok but if u have alot of block in ur loop. It is better for you to seperate up the loops like lichyetan. You will get better temp.

juz read through some forums, thinking NB temp is normal unless i remount the whole asus heatpipe as the thermal paste are lousy according to some of them and the fuzion block are just paste onto the heatpipe with expoxy, so guess its poor contact, if want to remount i gotto take off everything again, which i think i will just do in future when i wanna clean my wc loop as too much hassle to rework all those stuffs... For the CPU, i think mostly should be hot proc as u said as another forumer here using IFX-14 reaches 64+c applying 1.5+vcore also...

Ya.. It is enough... But I cant see the point why u need 2 triple radiator for your CPU. A single dual radiator is just nice if u wish to cool ur cpu only.

Ya.. Exactly... Probably you can remount it next time. Too hassle :S

If that is the case, time to upgrade again or you waiting for Q945/Q955?

Got a point there lol... Guess a single triple rad will do... D-tek fuzion+ swiftech triple rad enough to run 4GHz daily on e8400?

well i'm running 2 x mcp220 rads (2 x 12cm rads) + 3 blocks with a single swiftech pump... running e6600 at 3.6ghz daily with 1.55vcore... tongue.gif

idle at 36' to 38' load at 55' to 58' in normal room temp... (no fan or air cond is on)... yah my e6600 need quite a high vcore... i can run it at 1.500v n run orthos for days... but 1.525 to 1.550 give me the totally non problem setting... it's very stable at that vcore... n idle n load temp is only 2' different...

His vcore is higher than you and sometime ambient temp do make alot of difference. Besides that, some proc batch is hotter than normal.

hi guys,i'm first time water cooling user,and i facing some problem with my setup,

Swiftech Apogee GT Bowed (O-Ring replaced)
Swiftech MCP655-B
Swiftech micro resevoir
CoolTrek DP1202 (consider passive,no fan attached)

i having problem,the temperature is exactly the same as my Xigmatek S1283,happily got the setup and end up with full of disappoinment,can sifu pls guide me?

this is my setup pic,hope to get some hint and tips from u all.

oh ya,edited:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz 1.18vcore OCCT stable

Xigmatek:
Idle 42c,40c,36c35c
load 60c,58c,54c,52c

u using core temp to measure temperature ??

@acecombat
i think ur loop should be bleed nicely since ur radiator already placed at the most bottom part of ur setup, placing fans on radiator might help, as the radiator aint passive radiator... mayb try remount the block? placing a fan there might getting improvements, even low cfm fans... ur setup should be ok...
my setup with e2140 also getting load temps about 55c-57c, depends on ambient after OC to 3.0ghz with 1.50vcore...
go gooling around, or xtremeforums, the apogee gt test also getting temps around that... and also go swiftech web and try out the temp calc...

well,yup,cause my area ambient got around 30c to 32c,very hot,i always like to read the temp without any cool air beside me,i'll shut all the fan in my house and left alone my pc only,even myself also sweating beside the pc one,then i take the temp.
anyway,i use core temp to read.

so my placement is ok right?
i now put radiator on it already,later tonight or tomolo i will have reading on each core while OCCT,btw,the Apogee GT,should i install horinzontal or vertical?
is it any different if mount not same direction?

from acecombat pic, cpu block inlet and outlet, ideal location should be inlet at the bottom and top outlet so that any Trapped air is flushed out easily, just my idea as i always setup like tht on my wc, and yet also getting high temps, but 10c cooler than geminS after tried my previous x2 3800+ on these air cooled hestsink, used to oc to 2.8ghz using 1.48vcore load@ 55-56c watercooled but after using geminS, i cant oc to that speed due to temp, stock vcore already near 50c+, if oc to 2.6ghz using stock vcore reaching 57c ady...so, back to topic, i think adding fan would help as the radiator are not meant for cooling passively and also try squeeze the tubing near the block a bit to help bleeding and also open ur reservoir cap a while for bleeding the loop to let the bubble up, run the pump with reservoir cap open for a while...

i think air bubbles should not trap inside waterblock since u are using mcp-655 which is a powerful pump, should flush out the air bubbles quite well...
what coolant u are using ?

*something to mention, actually the inlet outlet part are just my crap idea, actually it has almost no effect after thinking again, u can simply choose the most convinient way for ur tubing setup, oh ya, try shorten ur loop might help, since less retriction with shorter tubings...

well,u mean no matter hwo i mount the cpu block also same?
if open the reservoir cap will decrease whole setup's pressure is it?
btw,i'm using HKS Motorsport coolant,for turbo car,(stolen it from my bro brows.gif ) 10% of HKS coolant and 90% of Diamond water (to filter as much as mineral as possible)
any idea?

i read from xtremesystem before, vertical mount or horizontal mount juz 1c or not even 1c different, so best is mount the way where u could route ur tubings well... try use distilled water and dun use the car coolant, the more mixture u run the worst the cooling are, but myself are using hydryx coolant mixing with distilled water... best is using distilled water... for opening the reservoir cap, its just let the trapped air escape the loop, after bleeding process, u should close it so u got a sealed loop.

i think both almost same since stealth and swiftech mcr almost have the same thickness and area, so cooling capability might be the same, but i think stealth is smaller in size if not wrong,,,

using distll water should be the best, but it recommended u flush the loop first after using coolant, car coolant known to be quite sticky......

flush means clean with distilled water, dont use tap water.. u can get cheap distilled water at jaya jusco or any nearby supermarket, make sure it write down distilled water, not mineral or RO... battery water contain some other chemical if not wrong... but also can...

if u worry bout air bubbles like icemocha said, u can rotate ur case while turning on the pump, but make sure u hold the reservoir in correct angle as u dun wan those air bubbles goes back into the loop... but mostly ur case should be no air bubbles in ur loop as u already place radiator at most btm part of the loop, air bubbles tends to go top...

If you use battery water make sure it says distilled water. If there's any other additives I wouldn't advice using it.

its normal la i think... extremesystem test using apogee gt also few celcius lower only on their heavily OC'ed Quad Core... u can go search around for tht in extremesystems... or vr-zone's apogee gt review.. WC actually not really much improve over high end air coolers, i guess its apogee gt limits, if wan really good temps, i think d-tek fuzion + nozzle kit the best... but gotto sacrifice overall loop flow as the nozzle kit makes the cpu block restrictive...

1 thing u can notice using WC, temp drops after full loads are fast, not like air coolers...

amdhardcore, congratulation finally got ur nightmare over hehe......

but some how i felt that ur system is better without the casing hehe....all ur things so dangerously place.

anyway what is the brass/copper tube for ?

Ace, ur temp is quite ok and resoanable, u dun expected the temp to go down a lot, but i believe it will maintain about the same even u go to 4ghz. may be u can try to get some more cold air to ur rad, u could see a few more degree difference.

Firstly Apa voltage u running... tehn some pics on ur setup , mainly ur loop to see how the loop placement is...

but ur HKS coolant and diamond water... throw it away before u damage ur pump or ur res... use swiftek hydrx for cheap coolant solutuion.. RM 25 per bottle.. mix with 1 L distilled... whih is one bottel of batery water ( make sure its the distlilled version)


about ur temps... im preety sure ur orientation of ur block is wrong and also ur waterloop must have loads of bubles man... from using diamond water ( which is mineral water or tap water. ) trust me i ran that before.. loads of foamy water...

then ur voltage.. wats the voltage...

also is ur swiftech apogee orientated right? teh block to the barbs direction...

i guess current generated might not heavy enough to kill of ur hardware, else others from other country or people like me who using water cooling for years now already suffering.. as long as the pump are not super strong, it wont affect much... if u worry, just place the pump to the other side of case and move ur hdd to top...

something to add on, even fans also generating electromagnetic waves, so i guess as long as the pump doesnt generate high electromagnetic waves, u would safe to use... D5 actually not considering high performance, if u compare it to those idwaki or other real industrial heavy pump...
