I dunno, the build I am currently aquiring parts for will probably cost more, but will have 3 VGA blocks as well. It's easy to get up there in cost fairly quick with fittings, aftermarket pump tops, resevoirs, and fans + fan controllers. I mean, 4 fans can cost $100 easy(4x Noctua 140mm)

brandonwh64 · Jan 30, 2012, 07:30 PM

If its a monster setup with top of line parts, it still shouldn't cost 800$?

cadaveca · Jan 30, 2012, 07:33 PM

Well, my own loop:

CPU block $99
rad $99 + $99 +??
pump $99
fans $150
fan controller $50
fittings, $120
GPU blocks, $425
tubing, $35
Coolant $20

drop the three GPU clocks, I can see $800 possible. Overkill, but possible.

My loops gonna take me all year to buy.

Maybe I can get some sponsors.

OH! yes it could

Try $80 for CPU block, 4 fans $100, Pump(s), aftermarked top, radiator, reservoir, high end fittings, some quick-disconnects, fancontroller

Think you could easy hit $800, some of my rigs have wc-equipment for way more

Throw in an Aquarero with a poweradjust and your close to $2000

Exactly, especially considering it is CPU only. Unless our poor friend live's in a place where he had to have everything shipped and got reamed that way i can't see a CPU only loop being $800 regardless of component's.

$100 for a block, $100 - $150 for a pump or 2, $100 - $150 for a rad, ~$20 for tubing add some fan's. Guess i'm a cheap prick

brandonwh64 · Jan 30, 2012, 07:40 PM

Hmm I don't see going that far unless you are doing some type of benching?

Think you can spend quite a lot of $$ on WC-parts it all depends on how much you want to do with it.

It's not a pretty setup but I can run run it with both CPU's @ 4,8GHz with the radds and the chiller and it cost way more than $800.

Is that some type of water chiller?

How does it work compared to phase?

Phase can go subzero this chiller can "only" go down to 4C.

Nice rig but for that money i'd have gone phase, you could've gotten a real nice setup. I spent about $800 on my first WC rig year's back (many years lol) so i can understand the "novelty" of it all but after you stop and think, did i really need that? Could i not have achieved the same or better with less? Just my $0.02 don't let me stop you from modding it's your PC and your money, enjoy it

Who says I'm not doing phase?

I've tried to run phase on a i7 920 with -20C for a week with what I thought was good insulation but it shut down due too condensation and ice, so been there done that etc..
I'm running my rigs with 100% cpu load 24/7 and then water is the way to go, that's just my opinion. Modding, building and OCing is a hobby and I've got the money for it.

Chicken Patty · Jan 30, 2012, 10:44 PM

Thats a nice setup mydog.

But still $800 on the CPU alone is kinda crazy

But possible...

Always nice when your WC equipment is measured in horsepower

... 1/4 hp in this case

I'll see your

and raise you

I guess for 24/7 water is the way to go as 24/7 phase can be tricky, as you already know. Hope you didn't lose any hardware?

Guess i got to many hobbies, need to spread the cash around lol Between home audio/video, music media, PC's, car's and R/C car's i get REAL broke, REAL fast

Maybe i should feed a kid in Africa for a year instead?

douglatins · Jan 30, 2012, 11:05 PM

Yep 120 usd fittins (t line, fill port, valve, drain line, angle, rotary and barbs)
200 pump + res (is that koolance acetal thingy, bummer i got rev 1.3 and 2.0 just released, i almost dup bought)
100 rad
60 block
30 tubes
100 shipping (yep, check location)
100 fans
misc things $xx

still have to buy mobo and vga blocks, but i need to get a new setup first i won't spend that money on a X58 and a 580.
And later i may go compression i got 1/2 barbs over 7/16 tubing for some, compression for cpu only since it shows.
If all goes well this year i graduate so my first paycheck will be a cosmos II and more rads and fittins. Im not considering the haswell chiller, its to fugly.

Just lost an R2E but I got a good friend that owns the local HW-shop so ... you get the rest.(BTW it was his phase and insulation job

)

Hobbies is good to have but I don't have time for so many these days, to much work, so I'm left with PC's, soccer and my family(got a grandson 2 yrs old soon to be, man I'm old

)

If you can I it's a good thing to do and doesn't cost that much either, you'll be amazed how much $50 a month is over there.

Chicken Patty · Jan 30, 2012, 11:20 PM

Damn dude, shipping killed you man.

Mydog · Jan 30, 2012, 11:26 PM

Now back on topic, here's another of my PC's

And a SB setup in a good old Lian Li Cube case, very clean I think.

boomstik360 · Jan 30, 2012, 11:27 PM

I'll take some more when I get my GPU

I just took the corsair ram back out and sent to newegg for a refund. Rocking the Samsung 30NM DDR3 @ 2200Mhz w/1.5v @ 9-10-10-28. Will fine tune later on for tighter timings xD
