water blocks

[shawnlizzle =]]

hey guys, what's the best possible cpu and gpu water block that i can get for under 150 bucks total, i'm not gonna go go crazy and buy a storm g5 or something, but i want blocks that will work best with my black ice extreme III and iwaki md20, so any suggestions? =D

zalmans water block works not too bad

RBX performs slightly better I think.

sorry, I can't seem to find any links?!

Anyway, when I was researching my watercooling setup I can assure you I found that in general the RBX was a degree or so better. The two outlets help keep the pressure up.

this is kinda off topic, but whats the difference between a heatercore and a radiator

I agree, I was just saying the RBX is the better block performance wise.

There are lots of other companies out there. Another big one (probably biggest) is Innovatek. They have a huge selection of watercooling equipment.
A heater core is a small radiator in a car used to heat air coming into the cabin of the car. That is where the heat comes from when you turn on your heater. Heater cores are small and work well for small computer cooling applications.

should i buy a heater core or a black ice extreme III, if i run a big enough one, i think i'll get better performance. plus those black ice are expennnnsive

a duel heater core.. what if i run two in series =D
i guess i need a better pump, i figure a wmd-20rz will pull it off, btw, you think it's worth it to get the g4/5 blocks, cuz it'll out perform just about any other block out there

A heater core would more than likely require some heavy modding on your part to make fittings that work with it. Just buying a black ice would be a much easier option if you don't feel like testing your mod skills

if i get a wmd-20 rz i might run two in series =D and it'll still cost less then the flow restrictive black ice extreme III
i think it's a great buy =D now about those g5s... haha

will having two of these: <A HREF="http://www.frozencpu.com/fan-157.html" target="_new">http://www.frozencpu.com/fan-157.html</A>
in a push/pull formation or just

one of these: <A HREF="http://sidewindercomputers.com/de12tfexhisp.html" target="_new">http://sidewindercomputers.com/de12tfexhisp.html</A>

in a push formation

i'm not really sure, and would running two heater cores in series be that much of a performance gain?

If you have the space and money radiators are the more the merrier. You might have to upgrade/get more than one pump to push water through all that.

I've got this fan on my internal radiator, it works good:
