got a question on water cooling, ask aerobahn. he'll more than help you.

[aerobahn]

NO do not get this one. If your looking for overclocking goodness you will cry if you buy this.

1).the water block is made of aluminum and plastic.....so that means cheep cooling and it could brake. always look for a copper one.

2).the pump looks decent....but i would not trust that pump in my case. small pumps like this are not made for 24hour operation, and will burn out....i know i had the same cheep pump in mine.
go for a pond or fish tank pump, like danner mag,or hydor,or if your rich go with an iwaki.

3).I bet 1 million dollars that the tubing will kink,or scratch easy. the best tubing is tygon anti kink,or clear flex.

4)the aluminum radiator, Isn't copper....and its very small. if you have room in your case get a 120mm fan based one not 80mm. but if you really want 80mm go copper.

this cooler will only do as good as a high quality air cooler....

for water cooling anything under $200 ...dont buy. Or make your own. get water cooling parts from here. www.frozencpu.com

thank you aerobahn, i knew you would know exactly what to say.

[aerobahn]

as always

Heh, also just a side comment on that, their graph on that page shows their temperature at around 92 F at the highest. My air cooled system runs at usually 100. so don't get this, like aero said.

Looks like I am not needed in the computers section anymore I think aero has it covered, although I will check up on this section from time to time. Unless anyone has an objection.

you should still come here regularly and become a supporter of aerobahn like i seem to have become:sweat: he knows a lot about comps, and some of his threads like the two you made sticky+closed may pop up sooner or later, and if you make them sticky+locked, it will help a lot more people and cause less repeated threads

i have no clue what my comp's internal temp is, but i know that it basically acts like a second heater... not really that much, but it does raise my room temp by about 2 degrees F in about a day... not including the nights when my room starts to freeze over:sweat:

check out the waterchill kit over on frozencpu i've seen nothing but good reviews on it, or if you have the time and patience put togther your own kit, pm me if your looking for any advice

[aerobahn]

waterchill is good. but you can build better for that price. And as it stands its only 3/8s tubing. 1/2 Is much better. Plus there is only a chipset water block no GPU block????

One thing to look for is swiftecs new Pump which runs a 12v power. Its also above 300gph :spin:
