WC Or Air

[d3fc0n5]

Hey guys ive got and Zalman 7700 right now on my 3000+ wincester @2.5. but in an week or so were im going to be geting and 3000+ Venice (clock TBD) Now Im looking at WCing Ive got and Dual 120MM HC. From and bonivlle i think it was. Now i was going to match that with and Swiftech m6002 1/2in. The pump i have is an Via Aqua 1300.Now my question is. will I get better performance with and XP-120 Or would i be better with the WC system. Btw Ive got the pump and HC just trying to figure out if i should use the loop for the CPU of my GPUs

Thanks

[mrapples]

imho you would get a good deal better performance form the wc

[d3fc0n5]

that is what i was thinking. But im not sure on the Heat output on the Venice

if youve already got the stuff go for it....get a pair of maze4s and a storm

[d3fc0n5]

well with that HC with 2x120mm fans hold up and 3000+ and 2x6600gts?

[phextwin]

Easily.

[d3fc0n5]

well then at that looks like in going WC.

Also what aditives should i put in?
Thanks

antifreeze/distilled water, 10/90.

"antifreeze/distilled water, 90/10."

thats a lot of antifreeze ;)



As for additives, use 10% Zerex racing coolant.

I don;t think your pump will hold up though.

:slap: early morning fcuk-up :clap:

LOL

what i meant was 90/10 distilled water/antifreeze

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

and don't use antifreeze, its nasty stuff. Use racing coolant (ie zerex) or other coolant that is supposed to be added to antifreeze

Definitely wc. Look at it this way: the best air cooler on the market (Big Typhoon) is still only equivalent to low-cost water cooling.

why wont the pump hold up ? i know the via aqua isnt a good performer but it still works. ill of had mine running a watercooling for a year next month and have yet to have it die or cause me a problem.

I really meant it won't be good for the storm

*knocks over can of pepsi on desk Slaps self in face*

well i never said i was geting the Storm block. #1 cuz its like 80 bucks and also cuz i do know this pump is way weak for that block

[beermanpro]

Use the MCP655 that is a nice pump, a pump with 300 GPH powa or more will be nice for the storm, i own it and is really kool ;)

Im not Geting the Swiftech Storm Block

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

actually, your second reason doesn't hold water (hehe, I made a pun), because the storm is still the best block down until stupidly low flow rates where other blocks (mcw600x which is good with any flowrate) might begin to beat it. but yeah its still ludicrously expensive :)

After getting my WC'ing installed and looking at the temps I don't think I could ever go back to air :toast:

[d3fc0n5]

that is the kind of this i want to hear. Now will this work well together. The
MCW6002-64 and 2 Maze 4 Gpu blocks. will the flow work will together?

But you have to say how much your WC set costed

[mad mikee]

antifreeze/distilled water, 10/90.

I read that as 10% anti, 90% h2o :fact:

[beermanpro]

if all your parts are made of cooper you dont need any coolant, just Destilated Water.

But anyway a very good mix is, 95% Water nd 5% coolant, I recomend Valvoline Zerex ;)
