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!


1.120 thermaltake on cosmos-S


Close up of the Apogee.


Attempted artistic shots.

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.

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...

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

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)
