I'm gonna get two.. but not straight away.. most probably wait for benchmarks but also waterblocks for them.. as i hate air-cooling in my system.

According to the pic shown above... i think the top cards the GTX version and the bottom is the GTS... cos' i heard the GTS will only use one power connector rather than two which the GTX version has.

that dude needs to cut his nails :eek: :p

you expect to fill the loop using a t-valve???? on AC gear!!! :eek: it'll never work.. you need a reservoir.

cooling it all should be fine.

tygon hands down tbh.

The running of a cooling loop from a small eheim pump from ground level to a first floor level has been done and documented over a wizd forums a couple of years ago iirc. The problem I have with the people who must insist that large bore is better than small bore through the understanding of...

--> edit: This is for all the temperature probe people.. few replies where submitted whilst I was writing this. but does it really matter??? CPUs are designed with a threshold, and that threshold temperature range is conservative (it always is in any product, not just computer CPUs)...

I believe I can fly! ;) Oh wait, maybe it's that white powder that's talking...

i'll get a screenie later on tonight, but mine runs not far off your temperatures... 24 @ idle but with 1.5V running through the CPU :D

btw... that's not an Alphacool product, it's a Cape Corp one. Although their tube type reservoirs are sweet though (and Alphacool are crap by comparison!)

1/4" refers to the ID, which is roughly 6.35mm and essentially the same as 8/6mm. With Plug & Cool Push fittings as seen on Aquacomputer, the tubing used is PUR 8/6 tubing (meaning 6mm ID and 1mm side walls = 8mm OD), and on Koolance systems, the tubing is usually PVC, which is softer than...

they still haven't got any blocks out yet? been in the design stages for ages, iirc they did have a run of a few blocks a while back, but not in any large amounts. Looks interesting, but until they actually release any... i'm not that interested.

Ah, not quite actually... I run 4 sticks of RAM on a DFI SLI-DR and it works perfectly... the Ramplex will quite happily cool all 4 sticks, although I admit that a fan directed at the RAM would do just as good a job and the innovatek ram coolers maybe even better. But the point is that I...

Oops... you are going to find that it's be quite difficult (i reckon almost impossible) to get those to fit. Aquacomputer SLI chipset block is made with 8/6mm push fit connectors in mind... even 10/8mm push fit connectors won't fit. Looking at mine, I reckon you can fit the barbs on, but...

Aquacomputer is a perfectly good choice, but also take a look at Alphacool. They are a more performance orientated (and cheaper) than Aquacomputer but not as bling. The thing with these european setups is that they blend together perfectly, mix and match to your hearts content. And wrt to...

seems small bore is gradually taking over the world... last place to conquer.. home of the large bore. :p But seriously, it's all good.. means more choice.

Oh noes!! I'm missing one degree!! My life is over! haha :p Tbh, if his system is working very well before (and it was iirc) then he doesn't need to upgrade to a noisier D5 to gain an extra degree in cooling performance. What good is 1 degree tbh? If it was 5,6 or 7, then i'd seriously...

hmm... in this particular respect, you get what you pay for i'm afraid. But if it's a simple setup you want with no pretensions, then it should serve you fine.

G1/4 or 1/4" BSPP from Macmaster-Carr

lol.. Aquacool?? not sure whether you mean Aquacomputer or Alphacool! :P I reckon you are on about aquacomputer.. if you are try going to IT-Trades website or leftclicks for english information and full product listings. There is also a (rather large) Aquacomputer dedicated thread here...

Well.. if you want to cool the RAM as well.. you can really only go for 8/6mm or 10/8mm tubing (what is usually referred to as small bore). If you only want to cool the CPU and 2xGPU then 1/2" tubing is unnecessary, 3/8" is perfect but even better from a performance stand-point is 7/16"...

If you want to cool everything (RAM, HDD, Chipset, mosfet, CPU, GPU) and cost is not important, then consider going to Aquacomputer, Alphacool, Innovatek and Koolance. These are companies that specialise is water cooling everything using smaller diameter tubing (8/6mm and 10/8mm refering to...

Exactly! :D going from a dual to single rad hasn't drastically done much harm to your temps! But I can't really talk because I went overkill!! :P (HE120.2 and an Evo360!!! :D)

All that hard work for nothing! Thermochill now sell plug and cool fittings for all the popular sizes to fit on their rads :P

Oo-er.. so if you want people to keep their personal insults to themselves, then so should you. Taking the high road my arse...! it's easy on the web to make yourself sound high and mighty, but that doesn't get you anywhere when you violate the very thing you preach.

I have a feeling he's far too young for that and that he doesn't actual earn enough money to buy a monkey or get married either 42 Bucks may seem expensive for those who don't work and still live with their parents.. but for the majority of working people here... it doesn't seem too much for...

'lo-flo' setups tend to cost more for you guys because a lot of the major players are european manufacturers and thus have to have them imported to the US. Infact, over where I am, the best lo-flo manufacturer (alphacool imo) is very very cheap. The XP block (best european cpu block, imo) is...

people new to the game tend to think that they need massive rads (120.2/3) etc for watercooling to work.. but i'll tell you a secret, you don't (shh! don't tell!) A single 120mm rad would work fine in almost all applications, but people going water tend to have a fetish for going as low as...

wow... keep me posted, i've been thinking of either switching my storm from 3/8" to smaller or getting rid of the Storm altogether and going for an XP.. watching with interest!!

single heater core would work dual would work better.

WTF!?!? :confused: spell check anyone?

Not sure how different a sonata 2 is from the original sonata... but I managed to fit a Thermochill 120.1 in that same place with no problems.

Yeah, i just realised and edited my previous post. We run a pair of these panaflos on a thermochill HE120.2, and it needs to be run at 5-7V most of the time as the noise at 12V, whilst not totally unbearable is too loud for our liking... I can hear it from the next room. But under-volted...

Sorry.. misread post, ignore.

... and on that note, back on topic. Acoustifan dust proof... got 2 sitting right here... AFDP-12025 12V 0.13A I also have 3 Papst 4412 F/2GL 105mA 1.25W 3 Papst 4412 F/2GLL 12V 60mA 0.72W 3 SilenX (not newest revision) 12V 0.05A-0.07A 2 x Panaflo FBA12G12M in my other rig Y.S...

nope (as i'm from the UK), but I know people who buy direct from Alphacool or it-trade in the EU and get it delivered super quick. http://www.alphacool.de http://www.computer-4you.at You also don't pay the prices on the website as afaik, you get tax exemptions for US sales so it's cheaper.

tbh... i'd say Alphacool all the way.. especially their Core only coolers.

if you don't get almost 100% air out of the res... the air will just keep on circulating the loop or get stuck in the rad and that's the worst place you can have trapped air. TDX, D4, Fass, 1/2", HE120.2 TDX, D5, Fass, 1/2" HE120.2 Maze4, L30, Fass, 1/2", HE120.1 These are the setups...
