can more ppl post up their pic n parts of their DIY WC sets??? seems very interesting...

yah... mind showing off more of ur creation??? very interested here...

but at rm180 then maybe fun enuf for play play toy, but just make sure it don't leak 1st... some1 tried that before, it works ok, at least better than some air cooler coz can only compare to hsf lower than rm200 to be fair mar... but that wc kit reliable onot, dunno lar... anyway only rm180 for an experience or lesson oso ok mar...

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...

good luck...

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...

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...


me a newbie too... but here in lyn has a lot of very good sifus willing to guide, thanks to them all.... hehehe...

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...

rlhc17,

hahaha, can u remember the mobo???

tq tq tq for all comments, n i'll try to shorten some tubing of my loop...

noctua on VGA??? huh... that's really big project...

oh really??? look at ur sig... nice hardwares...

bro, that noctua on the controller chipset of 8800... can tahan ah ur card...

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...

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...

doom, wher's the pic???

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...

imagine how i dance with my rig (still without casing) to let those trapped air out... bro, i look like a lunatic with all those tubing around...

60 seems pretty good load temp... btw, bro wat's the proc u using leh???

* shouldn't we discuss in the other thread??? the WC discussion thread... later mod clean up, n our discussion will be deleted wor..

can i use air pump to blow out water from my wc kit for draining it ar???
my setup is very messy which makes it hard for me to drain it... any idea???

i got the same problem fitting the fans to the swiftech rads... end up using cable tie...

hmmm... how come ur idle temp is lower than the ambient??? if lower than ambient then isn't it there'll be condensation occurs???

the zalman ram sinks for 8800 series that meant to work with zalman gpu block looks cool too.. wonder who sell it... should be able to fit with swiftech mcw60 with some mod maybe...

well, better get urself a simple kit for 1st try... it's not very complicated but kinda messy for 1st timer... hehehe... welcome to the club...
