water direction on Storm block?

Trox · 17 Dec 2006 at 13:04

About to re install my watercooling, just interested in knowing what direction the water should go.

Direct to copper block , then out through the tiny jets

or

Direct through the jets then out the hole

On my FX53 i had it direct to block then out through the jets but im thinking that could have been wrong ?

Cheers for help

nice cheers, been trying to find something with info on this on the net, damn tough

As above. Goes in through the middle one, forced through the jets onto where the die is, then out through the side hole.

Damn nice blocks these

ahh nice cheers for confirming

Looks like ive had it set up over the past year on my FX53 wrong then :eek:

doh!

LoL, easy mistake to make I guess. I only figured it out by taking mine apart

watercooling reinstalled now

overclocking time!

Should be a lot better now. Must have been pretty poor on the 53, particularly as its such a hot chip.

yea the fx53 temps were pretty high with only a 200 mhz overclock, would go to around 55C

The conroe is crazy, hard to believe how good these chips are for overclocking.

Yeah that's right, it should enter in the barb directly over the center of the block.
