XPerties Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 A simpel question - what do ya use to chill da PC? Myself, I have just bought (not installed yet) a nice High end Swiftech 8500 water cooling kit Keep me updated on that cooling system. I have been looking at buying it. Like to know how it does and how easy it is to install.
vomit Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Just whaked a DangerDen kit in mine, very pleased with it too picy herePicy of it all instaledThe case needs painting up and maybee another light shining in the reserve. Temps are good and a lot less noise, cost a small fortune though w00t
lynchknot Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Central air. I've got 76.2mm flexible tubing from my room air vent to my PC. My temps are: After and beforeTube also blows cold air at my face.Temp at vent itself is 55F.
Drewdatrip Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 I got me a nice Zalman for my P4 keeps it at about 30-40 depending on load=Drew
zipp51 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Central air. I've got 76.2mm flexible tubing from my room air vent to my PC. My temps are: After and beforeTube also blows cold air at my face.Temp at vent itself is 55F.Very good results Lynchnot.As discussed in Techzones the only thing to be concerned about would be condensation build up inside the case.Great idea. As for myself I have a Volcano 9,Volcano 6cu,and a soon to be installed Zalman 6000cu,in three different machines.
lynchknot Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Thanks zip - i've got a package of desiccant in the tube itself (will probably take out - restricts airflow) and will drop a package inside of case too.
ThA_FiLeR Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Still have my Dragon Orb 3, since its still one of the top performers, but very loud and performing bit less (hotter) since I went from a oc' T-Bird 1.33ghz to a XP2400.. I'd also like to know how the water cooling goes since I've barely seen any people with leaks or pump failures...Also, ordering a Low-Profile CoolerMast heatsink for my Radeon 9500(soft) for more OC'
techguy21801 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 well i still don't trust water cooling...it's must the fact that having water near all those electronics doesn't exactly give me an easy feeling.
XPerties Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 for a heatsink you can see what I have...........http://www.MSFN.org/articles.php?action=show&id=26
rstryker Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 what temp is to high?my XP1800 runs at around CPU=52C to 62C
ThA_FiLeR Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 well i still don't trust water cooling...it's must the fact that having water near all those electronics doesn't exactly give me an easy feeling.That's what I though for bout 2years now.. lol, but I've been active in some forums that discuss watercooling allot, have only seen very very few cases of having things go wrong..as long as you have quallity fittings and tubes, what could go wrong, in case of a pump failur you let your comp shut down when it reacher certain temperature.. and if you place you resevoir in the bottom below hd's that cant do any hardm when it would leak, so only place where the most possibility of a leak would be at ur cpu fittings on the water block, add some adjustable clamps, quality fittings, quality tube and it could only go wrong if you improperly connected it...
