its a DDC2 aka mcp355 with an alphacool top on it
Yep, one of the best...

Payment went fine, shipping was free so I can't complain.

I unplugged my Hard drives and made my three 120mm fans are running at 7v. The pump is outside the case floating on zip ties, so that is not making any vibration sounds.. me confused.

mjz_5 said:thanks guys, i'll try adding more liquid. I have no chipset fan.. oo well, i think i'm just expecting too much. I should have recorded how loud the computer as before the water cooling transition. Maybe i would be a lil more appreciative
el rolio said:hahah oh noes. welcome to the club sir. trust me there is more you cna do bu its gonna be cumulative. do a small thing here, dampen there, relaly start to tune out and single out what the sounds or frequencies are. i switched pumps for it! suspended hard drives for it!
krotch said:There's ppl who have watercooling and don't use a pump. Course, the watercooling ends up taking up a lot of space.
You can also turn the computer off. Bam!!! Zero noise.
game14 said:Watercooling without a pump ????? How is that supposed to work ????
Arcygenical said:Lots and lots of reservoir? And convection/advection cooling.
krotch said:Nothing like that. In convection advection, cold naturally moves to hot, be it vertical (convection) or horizontal (advection). A pretty layman explanation. Anyways, in such a loop, the cold water with the higher density will flow towards the hot water with it's lower density. This of course, would cause the water to flow through your loop. Here's one guy's setup.

krotch said:I've used HydraX, Innovatek fluid, Water Wetter, and anti-freeze. It all seems to work the same. I prefer Innovatek fluid as it's clear. I used HydraX simply cause it came with my Swiftech setup. I didn't like the green. Used water wetter, cause the Innovatek wasn't in stock and needed something. Tried anti-freeze cause...well...wanted to try it out.
I really couldn't see a difference between any of them, cept price.
krotch said:Well, if you want a computer that generates virtually zero noise. Sure a pump makes almost no noise, but if you go convection, you get the benefit of watercooling and you don't have to waste power on a pump.
krotch said:So you think a case that has your mobo sitting horizontal would be a good choice? That way tubing could run straight up from the CPU/GPU to the radiator.
krotch said:Ya, there's no way you'll cool all that with a single 120mm rad. I'd say at minimum dual 120mm. You can probably go single 120mm and dual 80mm.
I was wondering what the diference between those 2 pumps is
