D-Tek Fuzion v1 on a Q6600

Bigdogbmx · 20 Jan 2009 at 22:47

Im looking for opinions really on wether this block would be enough to cool a clocked Q6600. It will be my first WC setup and I want to keep the chip low enough to get a decent overclock out of it, although the main reason Im going WC is to quiet my PC down really. So far all I have for the loop is a pump and res, pump being a PolarFlo TT (A Laing D4 with a different top) and res is some dual bay thing I picked up cheap.

Any thoughts welcome on this

Just had a look at that Feser deal and unfortunately it runs out before my pay comes in, I overspent on Xmas so now Im skint till Friday lol. Also, Im thinking for now the loop will just be CPU, but Ill be adding northbridge soon I think, and in the long run maybe GFX if it will get me better temps than the stock cooler. Considering making the block for the northbridge with my dad actually for a laugh.

Luckily it came with 1/2 inch barbs so thats ok, thanks for the heads up though

As for the northbridge block we were planning on making it the old fashioned way, ie soldering it together. Sort of like a little copper box with jutting fins soldered to the base to restrict the flow a bit. With the radiator, I suppose I will just have to keep an eye out for deals in MM like you say.
