Extreme watercooling please help

[Shadow703793]

I have only seen a friend of mine use teflon. He's using it cause he has an all Copper block that he made for his S939 X2 lol. Usually most WCers don't recommend using Teflon tape now days.

 

[Houndsteeth]

If you are using a brass or nickel-plated barb and you threading it into a metal fitting, I would still use teflon tape, but as I always advise folks with TIM and thread tape, sparingly is the best policy. I think with most folks using thread tape, it becomes a problem because they overuse it (just like TIM). Like I said, one or 2 loops around the thread is sufficient for almost any fitting. Anything more, and you wost certainly will have a problem with cracking, or even have issue where the thread actually cuts the tape and then you have particles in your fluid.

 

[xtc28]

no tape with todays fittings Mate.

 

[computersss]

you are good to go with the bitspower fitings

This rad will do: http://www.jab-tech.com/Feser-X-Changer-Quad-120mm-Xtreme-Performance-Radiator-pr-4279.html
Feser X-Changer Quad 120mm

Overall, good set up. Don't forget to grab some PT Nuke or Kill Coils.
Coils: http://www.petrastechshop.com/sikibyia.html
PT Nuke: http://www.petrastechshop.com/peptpcobi1.html

As for fittings, what do you want to know? The GTZ will come with both 1/2in (what you will use) and 3/8 in fittings.
Note: 7/16 ID tubing will fit 1/2in barbs, but it's going to be a tight fit, so you will need to use a bit of force.

The R2 (see: http://www.petrastechshop.com/swmcgpuwawg81.html ) also comes with 1/2in and 3/8 fittings. And the Petra's one already ships with GT200 mounting so you won't have to buy it separately. (If not buying from Petras makesure the block comes/doesn't come with the GT200 mounting. If it comes wit it you won't need the mounting)
Note: You will need RAM sinks if using the R2.

thanks for the precious information,i checked jab-tech before they don't have it in stock it seems i will have to wait for any of sidewinder,froznecpu,jap-tech and performance-pcs to have them in stock also will this do the job with the R2 ?Swiftech MCW-Ramcool /A GeForce VGA Memory Water-block

 

[Shadow703793]

By looking here: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcwramcool.asp
it doesn't look like it would work as it seems to be for the 7 series.

What I was thinking were some thing like these: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mc14.asp
If the RAM sinks are too tall, you can sand down the pins.

 

[tomshardware user]

^i found these ram sinks at newegg but i heard that it has some tape issues that it doesn't stick,so will the Arctic Silver Adhesive (Premium Silver Thermal Epoxy) - 7.0 Gram (ASTA-7G) do the job ?

 

[Shadow703793]

^Yup. Use Arctic Silver Adhesive.

 

[tomshardware user]

another question will 7/16 tygon tubing be better than primochill?

 

[Shadow703793]

Meh. I don't really have a preference. It's all about the same. Only difference is how much it's able to bend before kinking. In that respect, IIRC Tygon wins. (Can't be 100% sure, it's been a while since I checked about different tubings)

 

[rubix_1011]

Artic adhesive is some awesome stuff. Hopefully you won't need to take them off within your lifetime...

[xtc28]

i will post some pictures after it is build but unfortunately there many parts tha i can't find in stock at newegg(not the watercooling parts)so i will try to get them from another place,i think unfortunately i will need some time to get all the parts

 

[Conumdrum]

Mounting ramsinks on video cards isn't that hard. Most problems stem from not cleaning the ram. The thermal pads leave a film of silicon oil that won't come off with alcohol. You need goof off or my fav Artic Cleaner, a two bottle set. Sold at many PC online and earthbound stores like Frys.

I use Seksui (I think) thermal double sided sticky tape. Very very thin and one of the very best out there. It has never caused me any problems.

Dont let it take too long. If you do by then everything will change and you will just end doing something different.

Agreed! Epoxy is almost impossible to get off. On RAM Are you nuts. RAM is too volatile for such things.....

 

[Shadow703793]

lol, yeah. Arctic Adhesive IS permanent. Better go with ones Conumdrum linked to.

 

[tomshardware user]

thankssss so do i need to change anything other than changing the thermal adhesive with the tape ?
