Well after much deliberation i finally bit the bullet and pulled my water from my HTPC and reinstalled the thuban cooler :(* it was a sad day for me since money has been a major issue as of late. i will hopfully get it back in and running good within a month or so. also sold my 8600GTS in hopes of getting a higher end 8800 series card in the future.



The full water loop still together.... just not cooling the phenom II

I have noticed that using zalman thermal paste compared to AS5 and AF5 is working slightly better? usually my x3 720 would be running about 32-34 deg idle and with the zalman stuff it runs 28-30 deg idle and didn't get over 42 on full load with occt on max mem and load for about 1 hour. since im now out of thermal paste, i should just order some of this zalman stuff. its like a white chalky stuff

Brandon sorry to hear that bro, I've been through money issues myself bro, it sucks :(

But are you going to be selling the loop? If so do me the favor and PM me the components and a price if you do want to sell. Thanks bro and good luck :toast:

I really don't want to sale the loop cause all i need to finish it is 3/8s elbows and a fill port and it would be complete and ready to reinstall after slight case mods. On the other hand i would probly trade this entire loop setup for a H50 cause it would be easier for me to fit in the HTPC case.

I can say that the Hydro pulse is a surprising pump for it's price and size. I was happy with mine but just got too good of a deal on the 655 :laugh:

Oh yea! it cooled this unlocked phenom II at 3.6ghz down to about 55 deg at full load. It works great!

cooled my i7 920@3.9ghz ~60-65c when i had it in my loop.
people like to hate on them but in all honesty they aren't bad and are great for a CPU loop.

that helps support my statement about them not being bad. the OCZ one is just a DD pump with a OCZ sticker and price slapped on it.most of the time you can find the OCZ cheaper then the DD.
kinda reminds me of PSU's in a way.You can get some Corsair PSU's made by seasonic but they can be cheaper then the Seasonic one that is the same damn thing.

Assuming it works on LGA1156, I would be very tempted to trade you my H50 :)
