SubZero G

[CCW]

ideas please? worth £120?

[antipop]

Like i said before DON'T BUY THAT
I don't have time now but i'll post back with an idea of watercooling for less than £120. It's doable as it's the price for my first setup!

[edesignuk]

I wouldn't. I bought one and it didn't even work. System would not boot properly with it installed. Now using stock HSF until I can find a better solution.

[CCW]

cheapest watercoolnig ive seen is £140 and id prefer new stuff because of warranty, etc.

Thanks,
Craig

[antipop]

If you're willing to shop from the US you can get below that

[CCW]

ok, what am i looking at for a half decent watercoolnig kit for processor and NB please?

i dont know what to look for? is the SubZeroG really "that" bad? whats wrong with it and other similar cooling methods?

Craig get a slk 800/900 with a good fan istead

[CCW]

Is it OK to raise voltage with coolers like them? They can handle a lot? Will they help me get as near as 2400MHz as this chip wil lgo?

Thanks,
Craig

Yep.. In the winter I had mine at 1.9v (in the BIOS, via MBM it's around 1.83v). Temps were still around 34*C idle, 41*C load. Although those are just estimates cause they didn't have the BIOS that fixed the temps on my NF7-S back then.

Craig yeah if you have a good chip i would say yes.
A guy in sweden has his 1700dltec to 2714mhz on a slk 800 + delta fan :toast:
About the voltage, you can go to like 2v when benching, but for everyday use i would use 1.9 at the max.

By the way join #xtremesystems @ irc.quakenet.org :eek:

[CCW]

Coolah stop pimpin the IRC CHANNEL!!! ! ! ! ! :eek:

i will look into it

Cheers,

I've done a system. All parts from cooltechnica.com
Maze4 $40
Heatercore+Shroud $37
2*120mm JMC 90cfm $12
Hydor L20 $35
10ft Clearflex $10.5
Water Wetter $3.5
T 1$
Total $157 + shipping
NB block DD Z-chip $37

You can buy the same thing from DangerDen, it'll cost the same but the shipping cost are lower at DD. So it'll be around $210-220 shipping included

Update : @ DD it'll cost you exactly $220 with shipping included (if you take the Z-chip)

Quick question, why do you always say an inline is better than reservoir please?

Thanks,
Craig

It's a personnal preference, i just don't like the res. It takes room, it might have leak (at least more easily than a block), some have problem with high flow. And i don't like having so much water in one place. The T is cheaper and more convinient to use and bleed.
The really first reason i went for a T is because i wanted to have a good wc sys but i didn't had much money to spend

[CCW]

it would be safe to have a reservoir sitting outside the computer though?

Craig If you like you can add it wherever you want. I'm just a cheap a§§ and i just don't like them. For the price of a res you can add a gpu block, or get a LRWW instead of the maze4

[CCW]

Arent reservoirs easier to top up and bleed than with T lines though? Ive never done water and i want something easy to get going ;)

Craig It's about the same thing, once you know how to use it a T line is very efficient. But i've no experience with res, maybe someone that has used one can tell you how it performs.

[CCW]

OK, thnaks antipop, one last question....rad or heatcore?

Craig

[antipop]

Definitely heatercore!
If you have question you can continue to ask me it's not a problem

[CCW]

lol, i wil lhave a think for a bit, thanks for your help

Craig

[CCW]

antipop,

maze 4 waterblock = £40
pump eheim 1048 = £38
Bucket = already have
tubing 1/2" 4 - 5 foot = £5
clips to hold tubing on = £2 for 4

just add water and some ice and voila cheapass watercooling

[antipop]

Going for a bucket might be good for a temporary solution but i wouldn't use that for everyday use (unless you have a lot of space, a heatercore is better. But with the bucket you save some good money

[CCW]

yeah, and i can fill it up with ice and stick beer bottles and cans in there to cool em

Craig

[gobbo]

1. Do not buy any air cooling peltier setups, they all suck!!

2. Watercooling can be bought very cheeply as listed above.

3. like cost matters, you are loaded as it is :p:

[CCW]

LOL, i wana do it cheap at first then build it up and add more stuff, make it better


Craig

[antipop]

Don't you think that 120£ is cheap enough?

[CCW]

nah, jsut think this is easier, you agree?

[antipop]

Sure it is but i don't like the idea of having a bucket next to my comp

[CCW]

why not? its afe, can store more water etc,can submerge pump to keep it cool can add ice.
