We should have a contest, mod that CPU cooler. Whoever gets it the lowest wins a prize of some sort.
based on the thread title of "How to upset the XS Liquid Cooling section", I expected to find pics of someone who had allegedly pee'd in your reservoir...
:D
HAraraa hehee that for wins :D :DQuote:

That would only result in trashing the cooler.
There are ways to do it though...
I'm sure I would feel really bad for it trashing too, I suppose.........:DQuote:

The essential problem, as I see it, is there are too few people willing to innovate, and everyone else is just out to either follow or :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:. This is XS, and what do we see-the same damn thing everywhere. Very few people test anything, and nobody is even inventive any more-you see the same thing, over and over. "If you don't have a MM case and a PA 120.3 and a EK this and whatever, you're not Xtreme."
I don't expect everyone to build their own, but be less sheep people. There are plenty of good manufacturers, have some fun. If it's Tt, it's still possible to make it Xtreme, just harder. Treat life like a challenge, and not a spending contest.
Pah, I'm ranting, I need a coffee. What upsets me is people unable to be inventive.
If you want to trash the whole thing, there is a failsafe method to do so...Quote:

THIS is what pisses me off. I could do more with a thermaltake CPU block, a few lengths of garden hose, a pond pump, and a heatercore than many could do with 500 bucks.Quote:

Much better than stock, and finally better than air. That's helping. Not "go buy a whole new kit".
Besides, that way you get them used to tuning and tweaking. Care for a POS will translate to care for better materials.
I mean that would work, but it's not really made to be a real watercooler. If you wanted to make that better, you may have to add just a 120.1 on top of the "waterblock/pump" thing, and somehow attach it with 2 slow yates to push/pull. It might fit in generally the same area. While it is possible to make this thing better, since the thing is like 40 bucks, you really should just get a different all-in-one sort of thing, like an Eliminator. I'm not saying get an entire new loop or sorts for $500+. I'm just saying there are comparable alternatives that would deliver "just fine" temps for like $100.:up:Quote:

...and why would you spend $500 on a watercooling system? mine have normally started with a trip to buy raw copper plate and then something along these lines:

I've got a Coolit Eliminator and the temps are good with it. That might be another addition to an ok all in one.
Weapon, no offense intended. Took me a second to realize who you were, you're another DIYer like me. Just better at the water.
I know and you know that WC can be quite a cheap enterprise. However, what we can do with heatercores, pond pumps and copper slabs there are many people who will not best with huge money spent in big kits. That's why I said people. I idn't point it at you, and I'm genuinely sorry if I have offended. In that, at least, I feel like I have a foot in my mouth.
But, I think there's a way to make ANYTHING better. Sometimes, you're right, it really is to start over, but there are times (I've dealt with them before, I can say) when someone is either sentimentally attached to a part, or the budget is practically gone. I remember dealing with a Gen1 Aquagate. There's a POS for ya. 1/4" tubing, crappy block (all copper) and an Al 80mm rad/res combo. Turns out the whole thing is 3/8" on the insides, changeover to that and a fan change got better temps, adding in a Koolance 2x120 rad did even better. The CM fluid, I must say, was a fantastic anticorrosive. To this day (and it still survives, running) it's pretty much pristine.
Ask my opinion, and I'll shoot straight. Ask for my help, and I'll do anything I can to re-engineer it into something useful while you save cash. Always been that way.
Yea, yesterdays leftover donuts!:rofl:Quote:
