Help with WC

Lolcb · 24 Feb 2007 at 09:26

Hi, I am wanting to watercool my setup but having no past experience in it or whatsoever, I am not ready to go into it yet without someone helping me.

I am wondering if anyone that is based in London or near London can help me out with setting up of the case. I will bring all necessary equipments to your premises and I will do the job, you just advice me on how to do it etc. Sort of like an advisor, so that I will have experience in setting wc next time.

The case I will be using is Silverstone TJ-07.

WC setup:
Alpha DDC pump
PA120.3 RAD
PA160 RAD
2 EK 8800GTX BLOCK
APOGEE GT BLOCK
MCW 30 BLOCK

If anyone is confident that you will be able to advise me and help me along the way of setting up the system, please email me. My MSN email please.

of course, I will pay for the help. Thanks.

Although I'm in London and (arguably) qualified to help, time is too short. If you draw a plan of what you intend and post it here, you'll get lots of people advising on how best to do it. It really isn't that hard to do and with some research, lots of care and the odd beer, you should have no great problems.

Hi mate, the only thing im worried atm is fitting the rads into the case. And I really do need someone with experience such as yourself to help me a fair bit.

Where about London are you at m8?

And if you don't mind, please add me to MSN - [email protected]

If you're worried about fitting a rad into your case, buy a Swiftech MCB120 radbox and hang the rad off the back.

As for MSN, sorry I don't use it. <old person>I prefer to talk to people</old person>

I was in a similar boat to you a couple months ago.. I had never had anything to do with watercooling. I spent a couple weeks researching, read up on which parts were the best and then took the plunge and went and bought the parts.

It really wasn't that hard to get up and running, most of it was common sense and pretty straight forward. About a week after I had set it up though, I did decide I wanted the rad mounted internally instead of on the back of the case so kind of had to do a rethink, mod my case, drain my loop and refit it, wasn't that much of a ball ache though.

Have now got a shiny new DTek Fuzion to fit, but can't be arsed to drain my case until next weekend.

I say go for it, there really isn't much you can do wrong, its just plugging tubes together. As long as you take your time and be careful it'll be fine.
