    Theoretical radiator fan question

    I guess you're right, I compared the cards at hwcompare.com. I might get two 560Ti cards out of two older builds with WC blocks Got to reconsider maybe, but I really like WC'ing :P And I don't get the same results on air...

    Theoretical radiator fan question

    Well, it is not just the performace/price aspect for me. i like this hobby. I enjoy overclocking my components, and I enjoy watercooling. I will have a loop in my computer anyway, and the two extra waterblocks is just 40 dollars a piece, and I will have my next GPU underwater as well, so I think...

    Theoretical radiator fan question

    I see. I am going to overclock as hard as I can both the CPU and bouth GPU's. I have calculated that Thees three components will draw a maximum of 800 watts. I also guess that most off this energy will dissipate as heat. The computer will be standing in my girlfriends bedroom, so it needs to be...

    Theoretical radiator fan question

    Yes, I will have another 240 thicker radiator in the front, but i will need at least 2 radiators to cool 2 GPU's and a cpu. A 280 rad won't fin in the top spot for radiators? Are you sure a 280 rad won't fit in top? This means I have to use a 240 thin rad witch will reduce my cooling capacity...

    Theoretical radiator fan question

    Hi fellas! If one must choose, would you choose thick radiator or thick fans (wich generates higher static pressure) ? I have found a fan type that is only 15mm thick, and I wonder, will a deeper radiator be more benefitial than higher static pressure? Here is the fan I was talking...

    My first custom watercooling loop

    I'll keep that in mind when I'm ordering! But at the moment, it seems like a 60-80 dollar price bump to go with Frozen CPU. So I'll have to consider it, but at least I know about all the factors. Thanks!

    My first custom watercooling loop

    continued e-mail correspondence: me: "If I understand correctly, I will not have any form of warranty from anyone on my pump, and if something should go wrong with the unit, I will not get a replacement unit for free? In that case it would be "gambling" on my part to buy this pump? Do you...

    My first custom watercooling loop

    Here is the e-mail correspondence between me and Performance-PCs: My e-mail: "Hi! I am considering to buy the Swiftech MCP655 G3/8 Threaded Edition instead of the original with barbs. In that manner, I am wondering about the process of the modification. 1. Is this pump as durable as the...

    My first custom watercooling loop

    Last I checked, performance-pcs was cheaper, or equal in price on every component. I live in Norway, so shipment is going to cost me 120 dollars. If I order some products from another site, I would spend more in extra shipment, than I could possibly save on any low percentage offer. But I will...

    My first custom watercooling loop

    This is getting very interesting! I thought that any modding of the original was unwise, and would be more likely to fail than the original. But this modding is done with quality craftsmanship I presume? I have never before read about the risk of barbs, it has never crossed me while I have...

    WaTaGuMp: I already have the noctuas, but that was a good tip.

    My first custom watercooling loop

    I thought I could just open up the PSU and pull out the fan cable? Or if not, replace it with a 140mm case fan? Back to the pump: I am planning to have my pump in the bottom of my case, and use hose clamps for the barbs. I thought that i probably would get it tight, and if there should be...

    My first custom watercooling loop

    I need to check my PSU fan then... And if nesessary, connect the PSU fan cable to my motherboard to have a constant airflow. about the threaded pump? what is the difference? can you post a link please?

    My first custom watercooling loop

    That will not be a problem ;) I love studying my new parts before mounting :P I guess I will use an entire day/weekend on the mounting and overclocking... I have to put up a separate airflow in my case for cooling the heatsinks on the videocard, for the VRM and mosfets. So I think I will make a...

    My first custom watercooling loop

    I have already bought the water at my local hardware store. Paid 7,5 $ for a little over a gallon. Done is done, right? The cutting tool I might get if I can find it in a local hardware store. I got an extra set of hands to help me fill the tank, so I don't think I need the bottle, but...
