Water Blocks?

[Ned_Flanders]

OK. I need more reccomendations:

Currently for the CPU (Prolly AMD64 - 4200+ (when It becomes available)) a DangerDen RBX (3 barbs) waterblock

For the GPU (Nvidia 6xxx Series) ??? No ideas yet.

Danger Den has had their nVidia 6800 water block out for a while, it is a lil price at around $130 but it's currently the best option, by the way 4200++??,,, isnt that like wait till feb/march next year. i myself am going to egt an fx-55, but i duno because of all those thing with the fx-55 adn 4000+ being 130's and not 90's. I do need a new comp as u can c it sucks alot...

You know your board would work GREAT if you got a cheap Celeron 1100 Tualatin, an Upgradeware Slot-T adapter ($20), and overclocked to 1466MHz (the vCore jumpers are on the adapter). But you'd want BIOS 1014 beta 3 for your board first.

I don't believe so, that block costs alot, due to the fact It also cools the RAM. But some ram sinks can do that job for me with out reducing the flow rates in my loop.

I'm aware of AMDs roadmap too, I'm a student, so Im buying as and when I can. I'm starting with the water cooling first.

Ned, I currently have a geforce 6800 that has it's own waterblock made and installed by BFG. And because it's made and installed by BFG it gets you a nice lifetime guarantee. They make them after you order them, factory overclock them to 470 instead of 400 (mhz) and pretest them supposedly (I don't have proof that they do other than their word, nor any reason to beleve otherwise)

It costs a bit to get, but for that guarantee and a waterblock (since you'd have to buy it seperate normally) I figgure it's worth it.

Oh side note: I haven't gotten mine going yet, still upgrading my water cooling since I finally got all the parts I need this week. But as soon as I got it going I'll post again and let you know how the card is working if you would like.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

yeah, please do

The fx-55 is WELL expensive. The new 90nm A64 939 processors in the ?3500+ flavour will overclock to almost fx-55 speeds
I'll hopefully be getting soon in my watercoolng setup:

TDX CPU block
Swiftech NB block
Maze 4 GPU block
Dual HDD cooler
Watercooled PSU
Triple thermochill radiator
2x 550mm WACC P/A passive reservoirs
Eheim 1250 pump

All 1/2" obviously...

Can't b***dy wait!!

 

[Ned_Flanders]

looking at reviews the TDX performs worst than the RBX, and it costs more.

Dual HDD cooler will kill the flow in your loop.
Tripple Rad + 2 550mm rads also will kill your flow.

Water cooled PSU - stay away from, for obvious reasons.
Ehiem1250 is a brick, get the HydorL30, roughly same specs, but smaller.

If you made your system as you have stated, you would need a hugh case / mount most of it externally. You would also get quite high temps which would limit overclocking.

P.S N-B watercooling isnt nessessary, and it again kills flow.

Greetings all, I have been using Tom's site for computer tech info since it was hosted by another domain, and have never bothered to venture into this little arena, so I look forward to your future posts. Now about this water cooler question.

You know, I was very impressed with the results of the <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20041015/index.html" target="_new">Sanyo Denki</A> cooler results, especially against some heavy hitters like<A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20040920/index.html" target="_new"> Innovatek and the other companies in the September tests</A>. Problem is...there ain't no company I can find in the US that sells this Sanyo Denki rig. Is it assembled by hand with special order parts? Do you need a secret handshake when you get to Fry's?

Thanks in advance....LLLL8
