flowerpot Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I have water cooling installed in one of my PC's.Your WC loop is HEAVILY dependant of the ambient temperature or your room,if your room is hot-your WC is hot.Go for some room cooling,airconditioning or whatever it is ppl do to keep rooms cool.Having seven fans in your case in a hot room is only gonna cycle hot air through your case.Bottom line sort your room temps out and then you could even take out one or two fans.

flowerpot Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Wel bottom line:Have good ventilation airflow in room.Have good ventilation airflow in case.Watercool if room temp is acceptable.I'm sure your temps are fine though,you live in Europe!

flowerpot Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 bigwater 2:The latest Conroe core 1M record times were done with a bigwater,that shut down a few critics.I'm getting round to building a 1/2 inch setup with a blackice rad and tygon tubing etc etcJust can't be arsed ATM,I'm running right now on a Linux air platform with a Zalman cooler.

djnumnuts Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 http://www.cluboverclocker.com/reviews/sup...ooler/index.htm this looks like a nice little kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerpot Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Apparently it holds a tiny amount of liquid which obv lessens its effectiveness and apparently the pump is shite mate.Might aswell just aircool if you buy that oney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Most W/C kits don't offer much benefit over the best HSF's anyway. Just a thought numnuts, but why not drop your Vcore down one notch. If you're not OC'd you should see no loss in stability and drop a surprising amount of power output (i.e. run cooler). Pretty much evey system I've run stock I've run ~0.15V under spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnumnuts Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 aaaaa good plan forgot about under clocking it but with the asus a8v mobo i dont seem to be able to change the vcore ,and the rest of the settings you can only increase them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
