    1 liter should be plenty for that loop with enough left over to top off from time to time, andyc

    Depends on the res, but I use EK cylinder types which need to be filled all the way to the top, andyc

    Swiftech Apogee XT review

    Thanks and look forward to the new base. I just saw Michelle's email for tracking. Multi mounts, sets and data pulls for well over 5 mounts on both blocks done during the same time periods. I was so thrown by the discrepancy I saw with my results from what others have shown, that I actually did...

    Swiftech Apogee XT review

    Yep..something's going on and quality has dropped way off from the base on my GTZ. I realize the pins are cut deeper, but still no excuse. With the proper equipment, attention to detail and overall willingness to create something of quality, not that tuff. And it's not like the XT is a cheap...

    Swiftech Apogee XT review

    Well, After complaining about the hacked up base I received on my retail XT, Gabe was kind enough to replace it with this. They got some serious QC issues with that base. Large pic to show milling defects. Needless to say, I was expecting something a little different:rofl: I agreed to...

    I have that board, but not sure. I'd drop Swiftech an email, they're great about answering stuff like that. andyc

    Parts list for wc setup review.

    Unlike most NB blocks, the MCW-NBMAX is meant to be used with the existing ASUS heat pipe assembly. It's just the cap or finned portion that gets removed off the rest of the NB heat pipe assembly. The MCW-NBMAX then re-attaches where the stock portion came off. So you can leave all the otehr...

    Heat probe necessary?

    Then you would use something like this, not a foil sensor taped to the side of the block. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/big1tesestfi.html connected to something like this inline with the tubing. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bisishtbp.html and the proper hardware/software...

    The TC PA rads take g 3/8" fittings. That refers to the threaded end of the fitting where they attach to the rad, not the barbed end. You can get G3/8" fitting with 1/2 OD barb ends, or g3/8 to g1/4 adapters so you can use your existing 1/2 fittings. The GTZ is a good block for 775 setups, but...

    Why don't more people build external WC units?

    I'll check it out. I'm getting ready to do another build with more cooling capacity using the same concept this winter. Gotta love it:D andyc

    Koolance In Line Filter...is it worth it?

    Yeah, I wish they would come out with a filter fine enough to stop blocks from clogging up, yet non restrictive enough for our use. It could be done, but would have to be rather large in comparison to most fittings we use I think. andyc

    Koolance In Line Filter...is it worth it?

    As far as keeping out stuff (dust, micro fibers from clothes, etc.) that could plug up a block with micro channels like the EK Supreme or HK-3, not really. 1mm is a little to course to prevent that based on my experience. I don't know, you'd have to have a pretty trashed up loop for these to be...

    LMAO...I actually thought that was you in the OP Vapor. Glad you straightened that out, and how's it going;) andyc

    Why don't more people build external WC units?

    All those issues where tested and worked out before the build began:) Flow rates still up over 1.5 GPM on the CPU loop with the dual D-5's, so BP 90's not an issue. Tubings 1/2" ID-3/4" OD. CPU temp at 50 average 100% load @ 23.5 C ambient running Boinc 24/7, so I'm pretty happy with the...
