Water Cooling or My current Scythe Ninja?

[sjskitz]

Heya guys, I was wondering if I should move up into the water cooling world and change my current cooler to water cooling. What are your thoughts, is there a massive difference in the temps when oc'ing?

The only major thing I have is water running through my system, as secure as it is the fact water/liguid coolant is passing through electricity scares the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of me, so yeah is it worth the upgrade??

Here are pics of my Current system :)

Nice clean looking system you have there. Nice OC on that 4000, too. You can watercool for silence or performance. From a performance standpoint, my buddy had his 4000 at 2.80 on air, but with water, he was able to get it prime stable at 2.95. I assume you're stable with that ninja (great HS - I have one on my third machine) at 2.90...could 3GHZ be a possibilty on water...hmmm... The more you can squeeze outta that 4000 - the more you can ramp up those GTXs, and see an actual fps gain. I've just put my fx-55 on water, with the build near completion. Water was a little scary (see my sig for the crapload of money I have invested), but it went together really nice. No leaks, no problems. I ran my loop for almost 3 days out on my workbench to make sure. I'll still be a little leary to leave it unattended, but I'm sure that will go away with time.

You're already running pretty sweet, but it might be a little sweeter on water. Plus it's fun to tinker with something new. Expense-wise, you'll see by reading the stickies, that it's not too bad.

The choice is yours.

DUDE IF ITS NOT LATE CANCEL THAT ORDER!!!

its not a very good watercooling setup at all. waste of money.

[Cujo11]

how are your temps?

[sjskitz]

Well its a bit too late to cancel the order, they dont allow it, I actually though Vapo Chill were very good?

Vapochill and Waterchill are two totally different things. Vapochill is phasechange cooling unit and Waterchill is watercooling kit. Did you order the new external system or what? Waterchill kits are not the best but they are not the worst also. I think if it's not the cheapest Waterchill kit's you will have better temps and likely higher OC :toast:

vapochill is phase change and would have cost you quite a bit.

waterchill is their watercooling line and its not that great.

forget about easily upgrading parts and having customizations.

sit tight dude. If you want phase go for it, but IMO nit worth it unless you are hardcore. I love your setup so clean.:woot:
