What made you go Water Cooling? - Page 3

While holding my compression fittings in my hands I can tell you that you are wrong.

MT Alex · Oct 9, 2012, 03:57 AM

Like I said, that 355 is a lot noisier than a DDC-1. For such a small loop just get the XSPC with the pump already in it for $50 and be done with it. Besides that, there is absolutely no reason to buy a 355 now that the 35X is out.

EDIT: Yup, wrong fittings Young Shaver.

I was talking to Erocker, and he said he can't hear shit out of his 355.

Mine was not any louder than my D4 and D5 vario, but the DDC1T I have is quiter.

Also read the title of your fittings before telling people they are wrong.

Whatever, dude. Like I said, buying a 355 instead of a 35X is asinine, especially since all you need is a DDC-1.

Well then, what black compression fittings fit my tubing. The ones I have listed are what Erocker linked me to get.

every single one of those fittings are 5/8 OD. Thanks for showing the same shit I was looking at before....

I put the link on the wrong line above cdawall. I know the DCC-1 will work with the res I listed, I was talking about MCP35X that Alex was talking about.

Just PM'ed the seller. Ill buy it if he still has it.

Wile E · Oct 9, 2012, 04:16 AM

Cooling. Don't care about noise, looks or anything else. Just function.

All I use is distilled water, cheap ass Lowes 1/2" tubing, and flush it every now and then.

Steevo · Oct 9, 2012, 05:12 AM

My computer is on 24/7 unless I am gone on a vacation. Thus the pump runs 24/7.

I have cleaned out my loop once. I use a mix of high grade industrial anti-freeze, distilled-dionized water, and a tiny drop of antibacterial dish soap. My loop was clean anyway.

I changed fittings to prevent a small kink in the tubing, but the worst I have had was a tiny leak that left a quarter sized blue (from the moly in the coolant) mark. About a teaspoon of liquid leaked.

MT Alex · Oct 9, 2012, 05:17 AM

Just making sure you saw this, since it's only $5 more than the res by itself.

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=30282

I'd go the DDC route, be it the 350 or 355, but I know a few people who really like this setup.

i like the idea of the bay res with the DDC attached to it.

DanishDevil · Oct 9, 2012, 05:20 AM

All but the last option, but I voted for the looks, because I honestly haven't benefited from it all that much in the other two areas.
