Greetings to everyone . Im kinda new into watercooling so i seek advice n suggestions from u guys. Currently im using xigmatek s1283 n oc'ed my proc to 3.8 with 1.35 vcore set, getting idle/load of 42/58. My hands r getting itchy n wanting to try wc just for the sake of trying. Im planning on getting the swiftech H2O-120 compact kit but afraid it wont be much diff from my current temps. Custom wc is tempting but my casing(cm690) is just too small to fit anymore hardwares as im running sli already. Since the compact kit is pump+block and reservoir+rad so space needed is much less plus i might add a double rad to enchance cooling since single rad in my opinion is not really efficient. Just wanna get some feed back from u guys n hope ull be able to give ur opinion on my plans. Btw has anyone personally used this kit?

Oh i see. Ive read bout the vibrations from newegg from customer comments. Here a pic, guess ill have to crack my skull to figure outa place for rads.

I did mod my top panel to fit a 120x3 radgrillz for 3 fan. Pump, reservoir . . . . Maybe can refer to u for help, hehe.

I just completed my wc set up, partly thx to bryan for the hw, pics soon to come . . . currently leak testing. ow im just curios, i feel i need a flow indicator cuz the quitness makes me feel as if it not running, could anyone recommend me a piece?

I was thinking of a custom, but just could think how to make 1 , not that creative, haha. Urs is custom made by u or purchased from a shop? Can provide place/link etc. The prob is i cant see the waterflow except if theres bubbles, my res is black in colour. So its hard to tell if the pump is running or isnt.
Here's a pic

oh, thats nice the flow switch is from electronic shop izzit, looks like ill go hunting then.

oh k, that gave me a clearer picture of it . . . seem troublesome though, too bad cant get those flow ind like xspc etc, simple n nice. The only available is tt which look like a blue water drop aka a smack of crap.

oh . . . nvr thought of that . Expensive ya it is, thats why a custom made is a good option, lack of resources though . . . not to mention ideas.

My 1st WC set-up . . . ran succesfully , no leaks and very happy with it. These are the temps i obtain with it, soo much cooler compared to my hdt s1283 . But the vcore when i took is lower compared to normal, bios is set to 1.45V, vdroop 1.416V.



This is for my air cooling, totally diff clocks and the TJmax is 105C (didnt knew it was 100C )
