almost done with it!

[kikicoco1334]

it's been about 3 weeks from last time i worked on my system at all...
just installed my new water tank, i just got the Thermal Take Aqua M3 1U Tank off ebay lol :laughing:
pic 1-14 are my system up to now..

pic 1 and 2 are the main part of the watercooler i am using the everything from that set

pic 3 is the new toy i just got it's a tank made by ThermalTake looks kinda cool and i can put a HELL LOT MORE water in it now lol

pic 4 is the thermal compound the only Korean thing i will ever put my hands on well... Zalman stuff...

pic 5 is my Q6600 G0 lapped nicely

pic 6 is the extra liquid that came out of the stock Coolermaster system..
can i or can i not mix coolermaster water and Thermaltake water in one system?

pic 7 is the water i put in the system... seems like it's just stander drinking water, there is nothing in it, is that good for the system or not?

pic 8 is just a closer look of the tank

pic 9 the water flower

pic 10 is the in and out put connection of the tank, very bentable :thumbsup:

pic 11 and 12 is this a good idea? cuz the the thing will not fit around it

pic 13 you see how on the black tub there is a thing around the end, but on the green one there is not one on it [will not fit]

pic 14 that's just a extra water block that came with the system and just sitting by my 80mm fan, it keeps IT cool :D not really sure if that helps or not, it seems like it did

what do you guys think?
i really think i need another bigger water readitor, and a hell alot stronger pump in my system

[Kal-EL]

Question is....... Does it suit your purposes?

[kikicoco1334]

Question is....... Does it suit your purposes?

personally i don't think it did much, with out a better water block
and also a RADIATOR
but working on this thing just makes me happier

watercooling is fun...until you find out..LN2 is so much more fun :D

Kiki, if you can find an old a/c unit that someone is throwing away or doesnt want anymore, you can convert it into your water=cooling plans and supercharge the cooling portion of your plans.

A quality pump would be needed to move the coolant around at sub-zero temps, insulation prep on the mobo but you'lre gonna get much better results. ;)

old ac got it!


but how can a water cooling system with fan and air become sub zero temp? i have always wanna ask that

[kikicoco1334]

If your having fun than it's worth it. :thumbsup:

i am happy when i am overclocking... :laughing:
until i can't improve and keeps trying and trying for 8hrs and staying at the same place it's just like WTF DUDE!
but yeah i love been here i love working on my computer and car or anything that's gonna keep me working lol


loved the shit outta my x but now it's only my x </3

To go sub-zero takes a good bit of modding.
You pretty much need to dismantle the old a/c unit in question and put the evaporator in a cooler, and put the rad (or rads) in the cooler with it, and then fill with distilled water/antifreeze or whatever concoction Kal came up with worked well too..

Porting the a/c air directly through the rads or h/s helps, but I only got to zero with the machine off.

i see what is the rad?

got a kick outta that lol

ill keep your guys posted i monna go find my self a old ac now :D:D

[FACE]

Sorry... By rad I meant the radiator from your loop. :Hi:

[Neuromancer]

Wish I had my thermal probe earlier. Coretemp was only reading 0C on my loop this winter jumping all the way up to 1C under load :)

[ReverendMaynard]

If your having fun than it's worth it. :thumbsup:

this is correct.

[kikicoco1334]

how should i going by recycle the CFCs or the water in the cooling system?
i'm sure i cant just let it go down the sink =)

thank you kal

btw

:laughing:

[kikicoco1334]

so i am almost done with it...
and there is more prob now...

i took the system down just for cleaning and just make sure everything is working ok...
but after i put everything back to where everything was the pump starting to acting funny, it's getting louder and louder so i was like WTF and went in BIOS and looked at the temp and it was like 75 and still going up...
so i looked at the clear tube water is not even moving at all!
tried everything i can think of, not working... now i am just thinking about getting a cheep working water pump just get by the summer day that's coming up..

this is what i found on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370286323509
it's made by thermaltake
just wanna know what do you guys think?
it's only $20 so i am not really sure how are they?

I wouldnt do that (plus its a 1/4 inch pump)

look for a cheap used 355 to tide you over.

thanks bro :)
i just added them to my list

quick question i saw some Peltier for sale on ebay what do they do?
are they like the thermal electric pads? can it be used on water coolers?

[Neuromancer]

Yeah, you pretty much have to use water with them.

Its basically transfers heat via electricity from one side (the cold plate) to the other (hot side)

You place it on your CPU cold plate down, then drop the waterblock on it. plug it in.. and go.

But they use a lot of enegry. Generally not regarded as anything special. Was a simple way to subambient temps back in the day though.

The yellow wire is 12v yeah the red is 5 volt (and on sata the 5th wire, orange, is 3.3v)

As for how to hook it up... it depends on the wattage and voltage pelt you are looking at getting

[Gutterz]

Just hack up an air conditioner just about the easiest way to go sub zero.

[HITandRUN]

This is important. If you have a decent Pelti you wont be able to run this thing off your PC PSU. You will need a dedicated PSU for it.

[kikicoco1334]

and i am thinking about the ones that's like same size as the top of the LGA1366 or maybe a little bigger like 4.2cm x 4.2cm is i did a little math it's about 130~160W

[Neuromancer]

Well first of all... the 754-AM2 watercooling kit... I know the H50 is popular... but my first loops was a single 120MM BIX rad, 355 and a tline. It was no better than high end air for cooling a clawhammer processor when OCed.

Granted it was my first loop so I am sure a good reason for that was user error. I made a few mistakes, the only one I did not fix before selling the loops was cleaning hte block and rad with a vinegar bath (did not know about that back then)

However it is a start if you are only cooling CPU

As for the pelts...

400W is excessive for a Q6600. Might be good for a 980X though. Of course.. I think 50mm might even be larger than 1366. It is about 40-45% larger than a socket 775.

Cant find info on 1366 die size.. 775 is 37.5mm and 1366 is 20-30% larger. Still not 50mm if my math is not off.

Also a single fan waterloop is not going to be enough to cool a 200+ watt pelt.

A peltier is not a REPLACEMENT for a good watercooling loop. It is an addition to an overdesigned one!


I dont want to tell you NOT to go pelt.

But don't :)

For the money the good loop and pelt will cost (let alone operating cost) pick up even one of the koolance v1 pots (yeah its really a dice pot... but hey.. its cheap!) and a couple hundred liters of LN2 :)

EDIT: You posted before I finished typing :p You looking to cool your 920? whole nother ball game. To reduce a 4.5GHz 920 to ambient temps I think you will need approximately 150W-180W of pelt. Maybe more... no more than 200 i think though. A well designed 120.2 waterloop would be efficient enough for that. For subambient though... you really will want a 3 fan rad minimum.

[Gutterz]

go to a garage sale an buy a window A/C unit or check Craigslist. Ive gotten mine for under $40.
You can be sub zero for less than a good loop. A/C, Pump, Block, Hose an cooler, hose insulation, denatured alchohol is all u will need.

thank you so much for going so deep with my question:Hi:
my Q6600 is just gonna be a testing toy for me, it's really for me play around and learn
(BTW. play around is really not play around, it's more like i am doing lots of overclocking on it, and/but if something go wrong oh well too bad it's not gonna be a HUGE HUGE deal unlike my LGA1366 chips) :thumbsup:
i been thinking about buying a new chip to replace both my 920s for a LGA 775 the IHS is much smaller than the LGA 1366 so i am thinking about just make the water block or pot based on the LGA 1366 chip size, so when comes to smaller chip what ever is extra is extra :) unless intel is coming out with a new LGA (i saw that on the web today:shock:)

the long side is 3.45~3.5cm, short side is 3.25~3.3cm
only if i am going to pelt, here is my set up for the new Dr. Jackass
-Intel Q6600 D0 w/ no mod [but thinking about it if it really helps oc (just the pin mod)]
-EVGA 780i FTW w/ no mod
-PNY GTX 260 w/ no mod [YET:D]
-Antec EarthWatts 650W [JUST GOT IT]
-WD 320GB BlackBox 2.5 size
-CoolerMaster Aquagate DuoViva Kit + ThermalTake 3.25in Tank (replacing pump asap and adding a 3x120mm rad on to it)

do you think is it gonna be enough?
this LGA775 setup is my ONLY LGA775 test station...

they are like less than $15, more or less, i just wanna get one or two just to play around with it :D
if is such bad idea i am not even gonna stick that in my computer @ all!

i have been watching this pot from day one...

and this too
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160405638692&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

i know the first one is more for DICE and second one is more for LN2 but F1EE is really where REAL OCER wanna oc with LN2 going to get, i looked on the F1EE's offical site the price is about 200 something vs you know the first one is about 110 and second one is 170, and if i am gonna be going with the more $$$ one shouldn't i be going to the F1EE [i think]
1. is F1EE that much better than the Koolance Pot V2? proformance based
2. because Koolance is more for DICE what about F1EE? a good friend of my is supporting me with DICE for FREE lol (he is a Professor @ Vanderbilt University :D) so i can get DICE just as easy as LN2 now lol
3. like you said a couple hundred liters of LN2 and a Koolance V1 Pot = :)ness, how much of diff is that gonna make? it is passable for me, i just got to do it at a Vanderbilt's lab but it can happen, but F1EE VS Koolance V1 porformance HUGE or just huge?
4. comes to DICE Koolance V1 is the way to go, but it sux at LN2 and F1EE is really good at LN2 how about DICE? like Koolance V1 VS F1EE on DICE?:Dizzy:

sorry dump so much question on you guys all the time
thank you

655 is a good pump and is easy to use as it is already to go with a molex connector.
But there are much better pumps availible but require 120v

you basically can get them to turn on with a simple relay and they also make PCI controller cards as well

Ehiem 1250 is a great pump for a PC ... it is rated around 500GPH and has a better lift than the 655 ....

So it really depends on the lift and drag of the system to get a pump that will preform up to exspectations ..... many times it is the buyer not knowing the specification on the pump that results in poor preformance ...

Ehiem also makes much stronger pumps as well.

For really insane type stuff TACO 008B Bronze circulating pumps kick some serious booty but at a high cost

They would be pump that you would use if you wanted to put a coil in a remote location ..... Such as an out door coil to use winter temps to you advantage .... obviously this type of application would require an a glycol solution to prevent freeze ups

Best of luck and if you are doing just a small loop internal just use this

Ehiem 1250... :shock:
i was watching a Ehiem 1250 on ebay few days ago missed it cuz i was @ work...
it was end @ $14 and $20 i think or something around that line
sux...

so diff between mcp655 and mcp665-b is one is only a the stander mcp665 is got a speed controller?





here is what i got now
Swiftech MCP655
i have no idea what am i gonna be using this on...
i want the max performance on Dr.Jackass (Q6600 D0 w/ 780i FTW)

Black Ice Xtreme 3
this is for my new 1366 build:thumbsup:

Black Ice Xtreme single
this will be in Dr.Jackass

D-Tek Fuzion V2
and here is what i read [http://martinsliquidlab.i4memory.com/D-Tek_Fuzion_V2-Review.html] and some others, but more or less it seems to be a really nice block, i am building my new i7 x980 system, should i just suck it up put this in Dr.Jackass and buy a Apogee XT Extreme for the new system? cuz Fuzion v2 is a 775 set, and will need a 1366 clip... Apogee XT Extreme is like $80

Swiftech Resevoir
i already have one, i don't know should i put another in the same system?
cuz putting 2 resevoir will have ALOT pressure drop on it.. right? will it?

South Bound Waterblock for 780I 790I motherboards
this is a no name block:shock:

when i get this i monna be submitting more info on that

[Witchdoctor]

Should work nicley.

Blocks have a tremendous effect on preformance so you should see what type of pressure drop each block has if you are using multiple blocks ...

the 655 shopuld suit your needs like I said unless you are going to get a littler crazy ... just understand by inserting more than one block in a loop will effect overall flow and preformance ...

Best of luck

haha:laughing::laughing:
thank you so much

the one thing i don't really understand is how and why is there so much pressure drop when the block is installed so nicely?
more connectors in the loop the more p-drop is gonna be, then what about double pumo? would that fix it? like two red, 1 pump for each


also where should i put the pump @? after the cpu block or right before it?:Dizzy:



a handle of captain morgan 100 prf + a <3 broken.... i can go crazy!

IIRC there wont be much pressure drop at all with the fuzion.

true! the fuzion with everything stock will have almost no pressure drop or a very little
but the prob is that i will be adding an extra rad, 2 extra block and more

so i will be having 2 rad, 2 maybe 3 blocks in the loop

Depends on the other blocks rads should not be a big deal

With a 655 I dont think you will have any issues

so that was the biggest waste of $$...
remember i installed a "new" tank in the loop?
well i had to take that out too, i just installed the waterblocks everything looks great, it was a D-Tek block and that special made for 780i/790i s i am not really sure who is the maker... but fits really well, so all the things in my new loop are 1/2in loop and all my old stuff are 1/4 in fitting, moth a f er! so i took everything out and put all new stuff in it!

quick question thou..
what is the difference betreen Black Ice Xtreme /3 vs the Swiftech mcr320
cuz this guy give me a new looking Swiftech mcr320 instead of the black ice xtreme
both red are Swiftech, non of them are black ice......

i will be posting pix soon after i get the tubbing done =)
it's gonna be f ing awesome!

mcr320 is cheap and low fin density. good for adequate cooling and low noise fans.

BIX needs high pressure 38mm fans to shine. The difference is not astounding (not like stock cooling to a TRUE... but good when looking for extra performance.

ok so i got the water cooling with the thermal pad installed, i was able to run the Q6600 with 3.6GHz overclock stable @ 33~38C

but now after i restart the system, the computer is overheating like a ho
seems like the pad is not doing anything anymore, it's like just sitting there.. but when i take it out and hook it up to the yellow//black and have like a stander heatsink on it, it can take the water to like near sub 0C, but when i put it back in and samething happens
i looked in the bios and the chip is running around 100C and then it will shut down right after that...:Dizzy::Dizzy:
it was working fine now it's just bad WTF!

and now after few trys the board is not starting up anymore:shock: on the post led it's saying 1D i looked up it is mem issues
i already tried few different ram nothing working, tried run it with out ram at all which is beeping (that's good:thumbsup:)

i will be adding pix soon;)
the system looks nice, it's not in a case but looks nice i like it :D
