It would be a really tight fit if you managed to fit a 3/8 ID hose onto a 1/2 ID barb. But I think it will be a bit restrictive on the water flow. However most ppl use a 7/16 hose to fit onto a 1/2 ID barb. Will give you a tighter fit. up to you if you want to use a hose clamp at the end of...

Doing a search on Scan.co.uk for the motherboard your buying I found this Mosfet http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/EK-Mosfet-ASUS-X58-Kit-%28Mosfet-set-for-Rampage-II-Extreme-P6T-Deluxe%29 NB & SB...

I'm having a look for a new high peforming fan cooler for my ATI now. Do differnt retail versions of graphic cards share the same design? Or can the capacitors be placed differntly Reason im asking is I cant seem to find the same retail design as my current card. And I want to keep it as...

I'm gonna catch some zzz and have a think about this tomorrow. But I decided another loop would be too much hassle so I will be looking into a better fan cooling for the graphic's. Thanks for all your replies. your advice was appriciated :)

Reading up on the manual the user guide states to install the 2nd card in the 4th PCI-e slot. and all three PCI-e slots on the DFI board I have now supports x16 GFX cards. the reason is that I suppose I just want to get a decent rig that can run Crysis on max settings without breaking out in a...

I'm sorry. I dont think I was very clear from the beginning. I have already made my first loop that is currently cooling the i7 and the NB. And I get nice idle temps around 35C http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb42/kerblam_2007/HF1.jpg...

Hey everyone I know the i7's run alot more hot then the previous models so I decided to keep it simple and just have the CPU and NB watercooled. I was thinking of installing a sepreate watercooling loop for my graphic cards that I will be eventually getting. which will be 2 ATI HD...

My first watercooling build I wouldnt of been able to do this without the helpful advice I recived from HardForums here. Thanks guys PS. I know the reservoir is kind of a boge job. but if anyone see's anything that I could improve with the placements then I would love to hear it.

Hello everyone This is my first DFI board and was very pleased to find it a pain-free installation. This is also my first attempt at overclocking. I will list the components that I have below Motherboard: Lanparty DK X58-T3eH6 CPU: i7 920 D0 stepping 2.6GHz Graphic's: Asus EAH...

That sounds about right to me. I built my first watercooling PC, but I only have the CPU plus NB watercooled. The i7's do run pretty hot. hotter still when overclocked. I managed to overclock my i7 2.67 to 3.4. and the tempreture hits 55c under prime95 torture testing but anymore then...

Sorry i should of mentioned that I live in the UK. plus Im not sure if newegg would deliver here

I have been looking about on all the retailer sites and none of them have the Swiftech MCR320 in stock. Its the last piece I need for my new rig and its so damn frustrating waiting for it. Is it worth waiting or is there another radiator out thats just as good?

I just got myself this pump http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-004-SW&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1042 And on the front of the pump there is an adjustable pump speed setting. But to configure it I would need to use a small flat headed screwdriver to make the...

*Edited* Ok im still staying with the original plan. Found some excellent information regarding the motherboard here... http://gilgameshreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64:gilgamesh&catid=36:latestreviews&Itemid=56 I can remove the top of the heatsink from the...

Blimey the list continues I was hoping to try and keep it as simple as possible but I guess I wont have much of a choise if I go with that motherboard. I'm toying with the idea of getting a differnt motherboard that does not have a northbridge connected up to the southbridge or the...

Ok I'm back again >__> the motherboard that I wanted to get water cooled is this one http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/DFI-DK-X58-T3eH6-Intel-X58-Express-S1366-PCI-E-20-(x16)-Triple-DDR3-1600(OC)-SATA-RAID-ATX The northbridge heat sink is connected up by a heat exchange pipe to the heat...

I will take pictures and post the finished project on that sticky thread. Hopefully everything will go to plan. many thanks for everyones help!

thats a huge relief. for a moment I thought I had it all wrong. And yes, the 3/8" that came up was a little confusing but relised that was a differnt mesurment. not a differnt mesurment format. (I am terrible with mesurments incase you didnt know :P) Its also a relief to know the PSU...

Ok I've been doing a bit more researching but alot of these mesurment fittings are confusing. From what I understand I will be using a water tubing that is slightly smaller then the connecting fitting size of the rads, pumps, ect.. and I need to buy some metal barbs that will connect the tubing...

I have a 750W PSU on route for the new water cooling setup. will it be efficient enough? or will I need more power?

Ok heres the new list I put together Reservoir http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=42&products_id=984 Pump http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=40_101&products_id=194 Radiator...

I heard that some ppl use boiling water on the end of the tubing to make it easier when fitting. is this dvised or will it make the tubing weaker?

Ok im going to review a new list. and scrapping the Swiftech kit idea I will be getting a 3x120 Radiator at least 16ft of tubing using metal barb fittings only will be skipping the coolent and will go for distilled only currently reviewing parrallel adapter connectors to fit between the two. I...

Hello everyone. I'm just about to take my first steps into the world of water cooling and I thought I would ask you good ppl for some advice before I start buying the parts needed. I have put together a list of the parts im buying. Swiftech watercooling kit...
