Finally!! Going to Water, But need some Help Picking the Parts :D

I think he was referring to multiple blocks on a 120mm rad. Bigger is better with the rad - nothing wrong with one or two blocks on a triple rad if you ask me.

Eh, cpu and chipset should be fine for a single 120mm for me. This will be going on a Brisbane cpu, so it shouldn't heat up as much.(Well, not until I clock the snot out of it, anyway. lol) The chipset just runs too hot not to cool(54C idle- NOT overclocked). I bought the h2o-120 Premium kit, then was gonna buy the really big Swiftech chipset cooler with fan, but then I realized that the water block was only $3 more. So I bought it.

As for DOM, if you read back a little, the setup he was looking at started to add up to $600, so I suggested the Swiftech setup with the dual 120 rad, and then add a really good single 120 to it and all the extra blocks, just to save him some loot.

@DOM, if you give a budget, we can still put together a custom setup. Remember, you don't necessarily have to have the best of everything.

its to late for that cuz if paid attioton post #68

I know its kind of alot but like I said $ comes and goes but wating fucken sucks

well its was more cuz I didnt add everything I got in pics to lazy to post sites

Did it for you - $379.47 from those reciepts.

So does that mean you are still missing the cpu and gpu blocks?

The kit I started piecing together for just my northbridge and cpu started adding up to 280-300, so that's why I went with the Swiftech setup for 180. I can just upgrade it a piece at a time as necessary. Next purchases will be a 2x120 rad and a petra's top for my pump. After all my planned upgrades, It will still add up to more than my original plans in the long run, but I won't have to drop all the money at once. Eh, what can you do? Gotta trade off somewhere when you're on a budget.

You, on the other hand, probably won't have upgrade anything for the next few computer builds. Thereby making it cheaper in the long run for you. You figure, if you stretch it out for, say 4 builds, that adds up to $154 on cooling per build. Not bad really.

lol thanx.

The Swiftech MC14 VGA Forged Copper BGA Ramsinks are not going to work on the card cuz the barbs on the GPU Block are to low that the Ramsinks are going to hit

So now which are better from these but if you know better ones do tell, cuz 14.5mm is to tall

The evercools have more surface area, so I'd say they're the better sinks.

 

[t_ski]

You could always trim down or bend out the Swiftech heatsinks.

I am selling my Swiftech APOGEE GTX, if you are interested

Yeah I thought about it but it has to be done to 3 of them to much work and its just easier to got with shorter ones

thanks but I already got the D-TEK FuZion

I forgot about which is a good Tape or Thermal Pads for 2 of these

are stuck on thermal pads or tape? (no pun intended)

I never used that stuff but I need some for the RegCooler blocks cuz they dont come with any and need it to put between the mobo and blocks

 

[d44ve]

just wondering... I have heard mixed reviews on the thermal pads and the tape.

Do you need the tape to adhere the block to the chip?

Can you use a thermal paste?

the blocks come with the screws to hold it to the mobo but look at the pic cuz theys where they go and I need some but dont know which whould be better

and a pic whith it on the 2nd pic http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...age_scroll&products_id=4519&image_scroll_id=0

Well, on the regs near the i/o panel, I would use screws and some Arctic Cooling Ceramiq, for the top ones, I don't know, I don't have any experience with thermal tape.

but I have some MX-1 and Arctic Silver CMQ-22G The high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound

cuz under the stock HS it has a pad

 

[d44ve]

I've used the tape and wasnt happy with it.

Artic silver makes and thermal paste\adhesive that is supposed to work very well. I do not have any experiance with it though

CMQ-22G is what I was referring to. I couldn't remember the proper name is all. lol. Under my chipset was that pink thermal gum stuff, swapping it out for the ceramic lowered temps almost 10c, (throwing the water block on after that lowered them another 12c)

so the CMQ-22G or MX-1 ?? my SB was like glued on had to pri it off lol

For extra cooling purposes, use a dorm fridge if you can find one or get a cheapo. College campus's are excellent when kids graduate, they just throw new ones away.....

dont mean to thread jack

 

[Wile E]

I prefer the ceramic stuff on chipsets and regs, personally.
