UPDATES 15/3/08 wc loop v1.0

Going into entry level watercooling! just got all my stuff ready today and looping the stuff up!.

Swiftech Apogee
Swiftech mcp-655b
thermaltake res and rad frm bigwater 745
swiftech tubes.
Fluid xp+ ultra blood red

after placing everything, the idle temps are not so fantastic. maybe air still owns entry level at idle. however i got a 9 - 15 deg lesser load temp.

the leak testing!

Btw, you can use the probe to hide a fan behind it for an intake.

Any way to fix the probe? It would be really cool if it were working.

its lyk huge lo.. i tried putting it into 3 5 1/2 bays.. cant fit.. need lyk another 2 cm or so. haha
maybe i drill hole at top.. cuz the probe got the stand or smthing can stand 1.. dont tink can fix leh.. its lyk i time stuff haha.. in plant they dont fix also.. cuz dont spoil too often.. spoil alrdy throw.. =p

you finally changed your casing!

[Nashaz]

i like the colour... nice setup, but u gotta do something about that rad... it would be a quite a high end loop if u had a slightly better rad... ^^

and if im not mistaken, were u the one who met up with navanod regarding the tubing and barbs?... if so, im the one who was sitting next to him...

[spyboy48]

your rad surface area is too small to handle large load...2x or 3x even better.

anything to recommend?.

[Nashaz]

the surface area is ok for c2d, but yeah, but having more is not a bad thing either....

as for rad, thermo chill rads if u got the cash lah, otherwise can look at swiftech rads or what... black ice is also not bad... (just not the stealth and extreme)
