Water Cooling Help

[hawkspur]

Well I just got all my stuff ordered. Petras ran out of the Fuzion so I had to go through about 10 different websites to find it in stock.

Once I get all of the components by the end of the week I'll be sure to post some pics and benchmarks for the people who helped me out

If you are going to use the Fuzion on a quad processor make sure that you get the nozzle kit to maximize the waterblocks potential for that particular type of proc.

I did, I had to order it from a different site though

I will, I will! It'll probably be by the end of the week it all comes in, can't wait!

Hey everyone, I have all the stuff in and managed to get the CPU/NB loop up and running but I ran out of tubing. So until Monday I wont be done!

After everything is finalized, pics and temps and such will be posted.

Pics were promised and so they will be delivered. It took longer than expected, but I'm more or less at where I want to be. Temps are only about 3c above ambient at idle and about 10 at load. Good stuff.

Have you considered using Coolsleeves in your loop? As tubing gets heated, it gets more flexible and in areas like between your NB waterblock and the CPU waterblock it could kink up if the bend is tight enough. Also, the tubing leading from the reservoir to the pump could flatten out. Coolsleeves would help guard against all that by helping the tubing maintain its wall integrity.

That's a nice looking setup. I see you went with the Fuzion. What kind of temps are you getting?
