Crazys water cooling success or fail lets find out

[erocker]

I'll be resoldering the wires tonight, then I'll give it a good 24 hour test run to make sure all is good. I'll let you know.

Did you make sure the radiator isn't clogged or something? Can you blow air through it?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

awesome yea just i dont get it i build pcs for everyone else they never have a problem build something for myself its nothing but a series of headaches and cluster fuck situations and money spiraling down the drain. Its enough to make me want to say screw PCs and go back into gas powered RC cars and old model trains


i had 2 rads on hand both are single 120mm rads 1 thermaltake and 1 other the pump cant push either one i checked them and rinsed them didnt seem to be any issue at all

e, is that a BLUE Logitech Illuminated KB?

No, it's white. I think the blue background of the monitor was messing with my camera.

*No wait hehe. The water cooling clearly made the LED's cooler and changed them from hot white to cool blue.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

if u plan to sell that pump care to PM me the price you want? so i know what im doing for the rest of the week * aka selling or waiting

well started working on the water cooling setup again now as far as i can tell nothing is plugged but even an mcp 355 cant push the 120 single rad and TT block my guess is the TT block is to constricted ive tried and tried checked with just a rad and it pumps no issue tried just the block and its a trickle so CPs tt block isnt going to cut it i tried boiling water i tried vinegar the block is clean as far as i can tell

 

[p_o_s_pc]

thermaltake blocks are known to be restrictive. TT should basically just be advoided when it comes to there watercooling.
CP got my Enzotech block from me or i would have made you a good deal on it.maybe start looking around the FS threads on here if you want to find a decent price i'm sure someone has to have something.

also if all else fails take a look at the ek supreme. There not bad and there cheap.

nah dumped to much for now just paid all my bills and realized in 5 months ive dropped $7000 on paying back my loans thats not count other shit i am now 100% broke again so i am sticking with air cooling for awhile longer so things are once again on hiatus til i can fix this issue... first the pump now the block still i find it hard to believe a mcp 355 cant push a single 120.1 rad and a block and thats it

can you get the block apart to take a look inside?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

i ll look into it but

thats the block


took it apart its soaking in vinegar and distilled water at the moment

so far

the TT pump i sent CP pushed water better then the MCP 355 with that TT block in place

the TT pump couldnt push 2 120 rads but the mcp 355 easily does so no issue at all and with 1 rad it creates enough pressure to force my thumb off the swiftech res if i dont pay attention.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well i fixed it i got super ridiculously pissed off took the TT block and threw that thing as hard as i could against the wall stuck it back in the loop now it works

moral of the story anger is stronger then a restrictive water block

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well after the anger + throw block at wall incident it worked everything is installed currently taking pics of the full setup expect updates soon

 

[JrRacinFan]

Where's the pics?!

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

sadly the camera i borrowed the people forgot to give me the god damn mini usb cord so once again im fucked that way.

also did some stress testing water cooling or at least my setup dosent cut it $150 in and it cools worse then a Xigmatek Dark Knight

at 3800cpu 2400nb i get 38c idle 62c load xigmatek at the same settings is only 40'c idle 56'c load so far not liking this one bit

 

[erocker]

That block is absolute crap. With it being so thin, the water just drizzles in there. Find yourself a used Dtek Fuzion or something for cheap and the temps should drastically improve.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

which is more money spent im $170 in as of this moment and by the time i get a new block for this ill probably be about $200 in for slightly better performance then the Dark Knight i got for $35 of the egg a year + ago. If i strap another fan to the dark knight i can shave 2'c off at load using the rubber band fan holder trick

i can say tho that after 3 months of set backs and issues this is getting old fast lol

 

[rangerone766]

hey crazy, i got a swiftech block you can have. pm me shipping info, and i'll mail it out to you. unfortunatly you may have to do some hardware store mounting screws, but i have the s775 and some amd brackets for it.

[p_o_s_pc]

why you selling it when you just got it to work?

 

[JrRacinFan]

why you selling it when you just got it to work?

Because his load temps are far worse on water than on his Dark Knight.
