First Water Cooling Experiment

Drapper

What do yis think? my bud did most of the work, Gigabyte Water Cooling, cheap and ver effective! post your screenies ! Keeps the processor at 25 idle and 35 - 40 in load, was getting 40 on idle and 60 - 65 on load before!

Nice job there. Thats a big improvement in temperatures. Pity about the quality of the photo though. Can you post a better one?

Drapper

here is a better one !



btw got the kit in Peats of all places

Alkers

How loud or otherwise is it?

depends I've the controller to a fans multi contoller on my front panel so I can turn them down, some don't even use the blue fan on the chip and only use on the water chiller on the back, the pump and water are silent !

Can it work with "cool n quiet" do you know? Interested in giving that a go.

You're lucky you got the water cooling, 65 degrees is Lethal for a 90nm CPU imo:eek:

What voltage are you at?

Vcore @ 1.50
Ram v @ 3.30

Thats a nice, neat setup...and much better temps!

Are you addicted yet? I'm on my second WC setup in three months and considering changing again...more money than sense maybe

Good colour scheme...but too similar to mine...can you copyright colours?

How much was the kit from peats? What do you get in the Kit? (i.e. resevoir, Cpu/Gpu block?)

hopeful

Looks like THIS one...pretty good deal for €140

thats ridiculous, 65 is fine on load for any cpu.

also is that a thermal take psu i see in the last picture, doh

JakTheHat

Phew! thats a relief cos mine goes up to 60 after a few hours gaming.:) Thats with no overclocking. Sometimes if the missus has the heat turned up i point a deskfan at teh reserator. Thet brings the temps down to mid thirtys. Fans really do help. Just wish they werent so noisy.

no cpu at the moment thats why i aint posting pics, it aint finished.

my rigs never look pretty, but its whats inside that counts, i dont give a crap what it looks like, my first rig is a modified cmstacker with a mach 2 bolted to the bottom of it and wheels on the bottom of the mach 2, took bloody ages and looks ****e, but im happy with it
