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

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

yup. good enough
triple rad for VGA cooling

doesnt really affect ur temps. yet they should be avoided because it might cause complications in the loop.

nice one there Hahanoclue.
i just ventured into water cooling too.
my temps dropped by about 20 degrees on load.
this is really the true power of water cooling

@ doom.
from the res to the pump. seems like its gonna get bent O.o

sigh my res is leaking
seems the bottom barb is leaking no matter how much ptfe tape i put.
help?
btw my temps seems high
60 load @ 3.55Ghz 1.425Vcore

hhmmm 4ghz is actually mild id say

ive asked whether car coolants can be used but apparently if you dont use an appropriate one, you might damage you rad and pump

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.

my not so new watercooling setup

in my other rig

haha how did you know? not many people know they are tygon ><

oh yeah. they are really great tubes but i wish i had the black ones now


clearflex is kinda hard right? but its nice. super clear stuff and its nice to boast good coloured coolants

what is the clock speed and voltage?
if everything is pumped up a little then you are on the safe side, but looking at your config, i'd say youre on stock.
if there are bubbles, you need to pump them out if not your pressure will drop like mad

a more definitive test of your WC setup is your load temps

i actually did my own tec cooling.
what i did was i put the tec on some metal res, with an old P4 Heatsink and a fan on the other side,
didnt work out though.

the flow rate is more for your block rather than your rad dude.

your rad and the car rad are diff
i dont think your pump will like the coolant very much either

besides its said that distilled water still the best

depends one la.
for tight setups id say go for tygon else the ones metalzone has is a true winner

uhm bro,
did you check the label correctly.
giant distilled water still has ions inside which makes the water suitable for humans to drink (some metal based ions. cant remember which ones)
if those things settle on your rad, you have to remove the whole rad again and clean it out with vinegar.

Of course im not saying that putting in the car battery water vs the giant water will give you immediate results, but in the long term its safer

car battery water is pure distilled water + no added stuff and it is safer to be put into your rad.
if both were the same then we can drink car battery water

sorry if i sound like a lecturer. just wanted to make sure your loop stays around for a long time
ps, i didnt mean to be violent/aggressive in this reply
