[GuitarFreak1857]

~thanks:banana:

[nikhsub1]

For a kit, this by far: http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-H20-APEX-Extreme-Liquid-Cooling-Kit-pr-3041.html

[GuitarFreak1857]

that's out of stock, and is that a storm????

[einCe]

www.dangerden.com you can put together a custom kit there.
i got a d5 pump, tdx cpu block, maze 4 gpu block, and a black ice extremeII for 206 all 1/2 id tubing.

enter the code nvidiasli#1 :D

[[XC] leviathan18]

that code is until 31dec so you have to place it asap

[GuitarFreak1857]

ok, and is there a part i can get so i can mount the rad on the back of my case were the 120mm fan would be without modding? this part comes with the swiftech kits...

[einCe]

1/2 inner diameter

[axion]

1/2 Tygon

[GuitarFreak1857]

Hehehe look @ that res. its smaller than the waterblock, plastic barbs... :D

[GuitarFreak1857]

do you guys think the apex kit will come back in stock since it has a storm CPU block? or should i just get a Dd kit, because i configured one with tubbing, coolants, thermal paste. i'm thinking about just getting the apex kit with the apogge. enice i did what u reccomended and i got a higher price... what am i doing wrong?

[einCe]

no, they ended the 10% xmas thing, so it would be 239 for what i got.

dont forget to give them a review at resellerratings so you can get another 5% off too

and i would reccommend getting the dangerden setup. good stuff, cheaper, and even cheaper if you minus the 50 bucks for the gpu block

[thunderstruck!]

I don't think you will find any Storm kits but I would do this. Get the Apex kit, replace the block with Storm, sell the Apogee for $40, and pick up a DD Maze4 GPU.

[GuitarFreak1857]

is the fillport this? http://www.dangerdenstore.com/files/images/reservoirs/fillport_res/fillres_150h.jpg
and another question, http://www.dangerdenstore.com/files/images/pumps/d5/d5_front_view_800w.jpg does the pump push water out the bottom part?

if you could find someone selling the storm block! :stick:

[einCe]

yes but theres a cheaper one. personally i wouldnt like having to drill a hole in the top of my case because i might want to move it later
this is the fillport http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product_image.php?imageid=180

[GuitarFreak1857]

yeah i've already checked everywere, and they are all overpriced and most are out of stock.. whatever a TDX is good enough for me... einCe do you have a picture for your explination of a fillport?

[einCe]

did the above pic not work? heres a rehosted one

ok thanks, were can i get a mount so i can put my Rad on the back of my case? I can't find the MCB120 "Radbox" radiator mounting adapter by itslef. and i think i'm going to add two of the cheapest fans dd offers for my rad.

[einCe]

i dont know where you can find a mounting thing, perhaps make one yourself. and as for the dd fans im just gonna buy sme of these from good ol' newegg for 4.99 a piece. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835150032

those, are some nice fans. while i'm at newegg i think i'll get some AS5. :banana:

[GuitarFreak1857]

HAHA victory is mine !!!

http://www.jab-tech.com/MCB-120-Radbox-radiator-fan-housing-Black-pr-2407.html

i just realized how much my PC is going to glow.... 2 LED fans+cable sleeving+2cathodes+uvtubes+uvtubesleeving :D :D :D :D wowowo bright

[einCe]

thats only for a single 120mm rad though, are you gonna buy two? i would not suggest using a single 120 rad for both cpu and gpu if thats what you are thinking.

[GuitarFreak1857]

look- http://www.frozencpu.com/images/products/detail_secondary_hires/ex-wat-76_2.jpg except for mine i'll have the fittings on the bottom of the radiator so i can run the tubes through the bottom like this one: http://www.jab-tech.com/product_images/detailed/d_940.jpg

[einCe]

ohhh ok i see you can mount a double on it :D good job buy it!

[GuitarFreak1857]

thanks :D

[prosbloom225]

if you could find someone selling the storm block! :stick:


Just picked up my storm a couple of days ago for $70 at crazypc

Ended up at $450 for the whole thing, but thats with the Lian Li, so wc ran me about 325ish

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

i managed to WC with a storm, iwaki, and custom 2-302 (yeah, that saved a ton of money) for ~300 bucks. IMHO, a storm, D5, GPU block, and some rad for ~300 isn't unreasonable.

[GuitarFreak1857]

i'm just going to go with the Dd kit beacuse i can get a discount on it and its better then the swiftech kit and it has a GPU block, so it sounds pretty good to me :D :D :banana:

[GuitarFreak1857]

that code is until 31dec so you have to place it asap

does that mean it won't work today??? beacuse the forums were down and i couldnt get the code. nvidiasli#1. and the christmas sale on the website said it ended the 23rd..

this deal isn't too bad

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

that voyeurmods kit is EXCELLENT. basically its the H20-APEX excellent edition (AKA has the storm)

[Budwise]

stay away from Voyeurmods... Just becuase they say their stuff is in stock doesnt mean it is. They will charge your CC immediately and then make you wait for them to get it in stock. I ordered the Apex EE from there and a week later i cancelled my order becuase it never shipped, and yes they charged me a 15% restocking fee for something they never had in stock. I strongly urge you to stay away from them...

[AndrewZorn]

my tubing or fittings will not fit in a PCI slot. that was my plan too. but i ended up cutting a hole in the back.

[GuitarFreak1857]

it looks sick tho :(

[GuitarFreak1857]

hows this kit? http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?action=item&id=2200&prevaction=category&previd=2&prevstart=0

[MaxxxRacer]

Its a decent kit, but poory optimizied. With the MCP350 (DDC) a block like the MC6000 woud be the best choice.

[GuitarFreak1857]

i'm thinking about just getting a Dd kit without a GPU block and get one later. and are there a lot more risks if i get a res?
