its in its in!!! my first little water cooling system :D

Hey, nice to finaly see my old kit goto good use !
looks like you didnt need to use my emergency kit i supplied lol.

orentaiton of the pump doesnt matter at all, except for filling / bleeding.
remember ina water loop height and order do not matter, the pump is pushing water just as much as it is pullling.


cant believe you managed to fit it in there... then again if you saw the caser i used to have with that kit in it would brign a tear to your eye lol !

well done mate, im glad youve got soem joy out of it !

Fraid so at the moment. Any higher and the voltage its taking to get it stable is making temps high enough to start throttling.

Admittedly, I was trying to get stable at 3.8, a largish jump up from 3.6, but I'm happy with air cooled 3.6 and being rock solid. I can play hours of FEAR or DDO and not a single problem.

Also, FEAR detects max settings for my CPU at 3.6, so I'm happy.

I'm currently looking to expand my setup now with water cooling and an X1800 GTO! :D

awesome ill be getting my pent d back in action early next week i got my mobo to post at 198 with the old mobo before my pc had an accident lol silly mums :rolleyes:

actually, you havent :p

ive got 2 X 5 1/2 inch bay opticle drives and 1 X 5 1/2 inch bay taken by the resevoir, ive also got a floppy drive, my graphics cards bigger than yours and ive got a TV card in there too this on top of the huge radiator and 120mm fan fitted at the back plus my PSU wires are neater :p :D


but your right... it does look like pee in my tubes. will have to get the digital camera out when i get a black light.

Looks really nice setup for such a small outlay. I'm rather tempted to try this myself at some stage. Guess having a side window is pretty essential though.

What are you using to check temps? Not heard of internal cpu temp before (bit of a n00b tbh).

its a program called systool, (google it, its free) and i would recommend water cooling to anyone, with or without a window. :)
 
they were idle temps

idle temps

recorded Before water cooling
GPU 58oC
system Temperature 40oC
CPU internal temperature 46oC
CPU external (surface) temperature 41oC


After
GPU 55oC
system Temperature 34.5oC
CPU internal temperature 36.5oC
CPU external (surface) temperature 32oC


Full load temps

recorded Before water cooling
GPU 65oC
system Temperature 44oC
CPU internal temperature 52oC
CPU external (surface) temperature 47oC


After (1 hour of battlefield 2)
GPU 60oC
system Temperature 36oC
CPU internal temperature 40oC
CPU external (surface) temperature 38.5oC
 
I am thinking if its worth upgrading to this...

My current CPU speed etc is... 2.6ghz (not my max but day to day)

Idle = 29C and 42C underload (Freezer 64 (not pro)) @1.39v

I don't know if it would be worth getting @ £55 :confused:

...Thing I noticed is your watercooling CPU, GFX and Chipset .... If I just watercooled the CPU.. It may knock my temps down a little :)

im only water cooling my cpu :), its the main source of heat in most systems, add water cooling to take care of the cpu and as a result you wont have your cpu dumping all that hot air back into your system which results in a temp decrease across the board.

Ahh I see ... hmm probably have to save £250 for a custom WC kit then ;)
