i7 CPU Cooling Only

Uncleiven · 4 Apr 2009 at 13:48

I am thinking about watercooling my CPU.

Would this be any good?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-034-SW&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1038

Or can I get the parts separately to make it cheaper etc.

Using an Antec 1200 case so need ideas for best mounting places etc.

Thanks

That should be fine, used that kit couple years ago for my first watercooling, still using the Res, pump and cpu block.

Edit: Your sig is way to be big, max 4 lines of std text.

Hi did you get this kit if so what was it like to fit and what temps did your i7 drop to under load as looking to do the same with the same case.

overkill imho.
Domino Watercooling Kit £79 will keep your cpu well and trully cooled.

Example: I7 Max load 4.3ghz = 50c load.

You've stated this in two threads now.

Proof please*

* I'm considering a Domino for my i7 that came this morning, so it would be awesome to see this proved.

DriverHeaven Did a review on the Domino Watercooler Kit

The overclock was achieved through the use of the 2800RPM profile and at that fan speed our 4.3GHz temperature was 53 degrees Celsius.

3c over what i said but what the hell heh

and again is that the temp from A.L.C or from the core
the guy who did some various test on the previous thread temp got up to 90c at 4.5ghz I find it hard to believe that it can keep it at 50C load
A.L.C temp is different from the coretemp

Very nice.

Thanks for that.

remy87 - according to the review the temps were taken from Everest Ultimate.

Other reviews have been getting temps generally closer to 60C on load (on the 2800RPM setting), hence my sceptiscism.

I've just been looking on the CoolIT forums, and it looks like it might be easy enough to strap a second 120mm fan to the inside of the radiator.
*tibbsey looks over to his spare Noctua P12*
This should mean that I could have the standard fan on Quiet mode, but still get a good amount of airflow over the radiator.

Definitely looking like a contender...

Wow.. those are massive OC's!!

2800rpm??? doesnt that kinda defeat the point of WC? that being it should be quieter than air
