Beginer wc loop for my cpu

[skitz9417]

i have already read up all i need to know about water cooling and i found the water cooling kit is it any good http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5565

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I'd have a larger rad but yes, they are good kits, I know its hard finding stuff in Oz so check out the W/c sticky for some alternate vendors you may be able to use

[skitz9417]

oh sry i live in australia and shop here sometimes www.ple.com.au

 

[Motopsychojdn]

** I know its hard finding stuff in Oz **
I know that, thats why I sympathised with the 'hard to find gear' message
theres a few listed vendors though in the sticky and they are worldwide so worth checking out
**Edit, my bad, its in the Worldwide list

autally are these fans anygood for a h60 http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5861

 

[Motopsychojdn]

The 2k ones get loud on full whack but yes, I have some on a couple of my rads and on a fancontroller, they are decent enough, I wouldn't recommmend an allinone cooler like the H60 though, you want at least 240 of rad in aus with four fans on it so a H100 with four fans would be a decent enough call
I don't usually suggest allinone coolers though, I prefer 'real' loops

what about these parts http://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=609640&CategoryID=678

[skitz9417]

and i have a h60 now but i want to do a custom loop

 

[Motopsychojdn]

If you are set on a single 120 rad then http://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=609498&CategoryID=684 is the best option there, but http://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=609495&CategoryID=684 is the size you really want, that pumps not the best but if this is just for a Cpu then it will suffice
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

i need a 120mm rad because my case http://www.stormcomputers.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=42_358&products_id=3687

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Take a look in the Watercooling gallery, many folks mount rads externally, either on a side or top, hanging off the back even, don't let internal space prevent you from having enough radspace

Moto

 

[skitz9417]

ok so that pump is crap for cooling my cpu

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Nope, it will do for just the Cpu, but if you were adding gfx cards and more radiators later, its not going to be up to it,
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

wgat about this pump http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_88&products_id=2546

 

[skitz9417]

ok i wil get that frist pump i linked

 

[Motopsychojdn]

This one is about five dollars more than your first choice, but is much better and will handle future expansion easily, I run three of the V2's and the V4's should be even better
http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_88&products_id=6610

The X20 450l you linked is ok, but the 750l is much better
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

is that a res and a pump in one ?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Yes, the pump is inside the reservoir which when full, helps keep pump noise to a minimum
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

ok so these the parts are all good

and can u show me what fittings i need

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Some comps to choose from, http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_91_220_224
Or you can find 1/2" barb fittings if you prefer
http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_91_104_237_249&products_id=1528
7/16's of an inch is almost the same as halfinch (8/16") so the tubings a little tight but does fit,
two fittings per component so two for the block, two for pump/reservoir and two for the radiator means you need six for your loop
**Edit, if you look elsewhere the important thing to look for is the G1/4 marker, thats the thread size into the radiator and block/reservoir, do not get Bsp sized fittings as they are too small
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

with that would this tubing work http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_853&products_id=22149

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Thats the tubing you linked earlier which is what I kept in mind when looking for fittings for you,
I thought you had "read up on W/c and knew all you needed to"?
don't take that the wrong way, I'm just slightly amused by the initial statement and the following questions hehe,
Moto

 

[skitz9417]

so it wont work

 

[Motopsychojdn]

http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3_263&products_id=2015
Yes, You linked this, I found fittings that fit it, nothing to worry about
