Water Cooling

Logla · Oct 19, 2003, 06:39 PM

I need some help. I want to build a water cooling solution and I want a good one. I really dont have a clue what I'm doing though but know what I want. The main thing I want is BIG tubing. Really wide stuff that will carry a lot of water. I don't know what else I need though apart from the cooling block and the pump.

Pls help.

Thanks

I used a Swiftech kit for a while and it was great. Half inch tubing works wonders with the waterflow. Not sure if you want to build your own but their kits are top notch. Excellent waterblocks too.

I dont really think big tubing is the answer to cooler water. I purchased the Swiftech Kit which is awesome. CPU temps are awesome. Tubes are perfect size. The rad is allright. I would like a bigger one. Which is the answer to cooler water. The longer the water is in the rad the cooler it will be when it comes out. I do not like the swiftech Video card water block. I Ordered a seperate block that I should get tomorrow. They make this one for your card.

Also having a water resivoir makes a huge difference in water temps.

This one's was like $70.00 but sure does the trick. Kakrot is right the Swiftech kit's are good. If your wanting to build your own I would suggest THIS SITE. They have the most variety I have seen for H2O.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Most helpfull.

The only reason I wanted the big tubing is for the look of it.
Driver, that is the resevoir I saw somewhere else on the net and I think it looks really cool so I was hoping to get one of those. Your right about the price though but there are some things you just have to have

So far thats the only place I have seen it but I have kinda stoped looking arround because they have the buggest variety of extreme hardware I've seen.

This is tempting...but i'm not going to bother..when i get around to running tubes... i'm gonna get liquid nitrogen cooled... "Kyrotech".... 2000$ US for the setup.....
