Water cooling

Just ordered some stuff



D tek fusion

Swiftech MCP655

MCR microres

5 feet or 7/6" masterkleer tubing

Distilled water

Barbs and wormdrives

UV reactive coils



Waiting for overclockers to get some Swiftech 320QP radiators in stock and ill be ready to go.



Ill post some pics up and some rsults when i have them, which should be just shortly after Christmas, depending on when overclockers pull their finger out.



Bit of a pointless post, im just super excited

was looking at a similiar kit from overclockers.

how much did it set you back?

It will total around £160 £170 for everything once ive got the rad.
But i advise you not to buy a kit, and dont use overclockers for water cooling as they are overpriced a bit and dont have much choice, but they do have good radiators.

I bought my block and accesories from chilled pcs and the pump + resevoir from tekheads because they are very cheap.

Cool sounds good mate, Ive used water cooling for almost two years now. Good stuff XD

Also be sure to get some pix up!

taylor, thanks m8. i think ill go with scan.co.uk etc.

o rite sweet, any tips on setting it up

Common sense really and patience. Measure all the pipes twice before you cut them, cut the pipes as straight as possible. Then when installing make sure there are no kinks in the piping & everything is done up firmly but don't over tighten.

Then first time setup don't boot the PC up, make sure the liquid runs though everything ok then leave it on for a while. Turn off and then leave it some more so that there are no bubbles in the pipes & blocks.

Jobs a gooden, if you don't have some sort of visible flow indicator on your PC then I suggest for atleast the first few times when turning on your PC is to check that the motor/pump is working and the liquid is circulating. (Trust me Ive had a pump go & I didnt realize till the PC crashed, checked the temps and the CPU was at 120c X/ ). But the CPU was fine thankfully.

Anyways get some pics up when ya done.

Thanks for the info, my package from tekheads just came, i have the pump n res now, man they are huge from what i imagined them to be

Cool you should do a installing progress picture blog and post it up here

ghost you forgot a major step

the 24 hour leak test
1. Install the water cooling
2. Deinstall the watercooling without removing the tubing
3. put down paper towel
4. leak test for 24 hour
5. fix any leaks
