Before you all start on me telling me this is a pile of **** i have gotten it because it was cheap and should be silent.

I KNOW it isnt going to keep my temps much cooler than my current cooling BUT im hoping it will give me silence.

okay i have a few pics and i have rust, for starters i think.. so i need some advice.. how to i get rid of it.. and if i cant should i just chuck it in the bin?

Pics.

So.. advice? ideas?

Thanks for looking

short-out pins 14 and 15 on the power supply main power connector, and plug-in the power cord This may not be the best thing to repeatedly do to an ATX power supply (it can damage it).

we've established that its crap.. but i just wanna test it see if its any gd at being silent *the one things its supposed to do*

any quick ways of getting rid of this rust?

You have a great pc system - the wc system will let it down. Save and buy a proper wc setup if that is your real intention.

StevenG · 14 Nov 2006 at 15:23

all i want is silence.. im not expecting it to beat my temps..

pastymuncher · 14 Nov 2006 at 15:25

Bet that takes a few batteries!!

StevenG · 14 Nov 2006 at 15:39

think i have THE biggest E-Penis EVER lol.. need to get some fluid to fill it up with first.. anyway..

will the TIM Clean stuff that you use for heatsinks get rid fo the rust because thats just citric acid and some other crap

Coca cola, not the cheap stuff the original. Drop the block in there for like 10 minutes and it should come up looking like new. For the connections use some metal polish (autosol or peek).

taddaaaaaaaa

So.. if im using di-ionised water.. do i need to put any other addetives into it??

Thats the cooling tower.
Its basicly the same as the reserator. All passive.

And what does it come out like afterwards?

StevenG · 14 Nov 2006 at 20:23

well to be honest it doesnt look that much difference.. the clean bits are shiny and the rusty bits are a little faded but thats about it..
