    NEWB need help on WC set up

    it really wont matter much (actually not at all imo). Your choice of tubing size and routing, make it as short a possible by arranging your components carefully in your case for short straight runs, will matter more. Its best to have the pump as low (bottom) as possible so there will never...

    Confusing temperatures... Heatspreader issue?

    Have not run prime in a long time, does it exercise the GPU ? I dont think it does, so your CPU is screaming crunching numbers while the GPU is doing little or nothing. Actually with that going on I would expect your GPU water block to eventually heat up the GPU to your loop water...

    2.8 ghz Intel cpu overclocking

    hate to say it friend, but you are kinda borked. The specs give no mention of the motherboard manufacturer or model number and it is critical information you need as it appears the e-machines people have not installed a motherboard that has the FrontSideBuss (FSB) speed settings enabled...

    coolants, your thoughts?

    In my opinion based on more than 5 years of water cooling Keep in mind the main fact. Nothing you can get your hands on at any reasonable price, or even high prices, performs better than pure water. Anything thing else should be added to solve a particular problem. In an all copper...

    Does Fluid XP+ Become Conductive While in your System for a Period of Time?

    "I mean why would they sell this product and say you can keep it in your system for a good two years without worrying about damaging your components " Because most people were asleep in science class and believe anything they read and will throw money away. I am sure it will meet their...

    Temporary effects of using no thermal interface material?

    Dear LORD !!! For love of God anyone NOT willing to throw their processor in the garbage can and is reading this.. Put the thermal interface material on ! "air has low electrical conductivity hence low thermal conductivity" In the context of this discussion this is basically...

    OC Noob questions

    hmmm, well thats a tough question to answer, in fact noone can answer it exactly. You have some good things going for you, good case airflow apparently. Your memory will probally be the first limit you hit. Somewhere around 215 FSB it will probally start having issues unless you...

    Help!!! Random Reboots

    Now that you have eliminated the memory I tend to agree with SpoogeMonkey, if you go to DFI-street.com (thinks thats close) you will see right off that the DFI support people wont even want to talk to you till you get a 24pin supply with dual 12V rails capable of at least 28 amps (think...

    High CFM-Low DBA

    A look at evercools web site confirms my suspicions. what is "max airflow " ? I bet $10 as soon as you put the filter on it to create a little backpressure the airflow is 50CFM or less. There is no P/Q curve (speed vs CFM vs Airflow) so one can determine (ar at least take a guess) what...

    High CFM-Low DBA

    Well I am an old cranky engineer, not a social worker. In my professional opinion its a damn lie. If those specs were anywhere near true they whould not have to advertise those fans Every computer company and enthusiast would be camped at the factory doors. Do not look at sales...

    Which Watercooling additive?

    hmmm well the idea is to put a little in the cooling loop of the computer please do NOT drink it. I have run plain steam distilled water with in my machine for 3 years without any additive and have had no issues. Everything was new and clean when I first installed it, and I do not have...

    High CFM-Low DBA

    Ahhhh, I know just the fans you need, and cheap too ! But I can not.t tell you - it's a secret. Define High Define Low Or since you dont have any design goals/spec other than some nebulus spec terminology you have picked up, (as high CFM and low noise are mutually exclusive...
