Yeah well Aquagate mini R120, does a excellent job though :toast:
Does the pump/block make any discernible noise aok?? and can you keep the 120 fan @ low even during high OC's ?? :)Quote:

i was thinking of getting the aquagate mini r120 too, but never try water cooling before so i'm a bit paranoid. i'm also concern about the noise of the pump. please give us a mini personal review on this water cooler :). thanks mate.
The pump is almost dead quiet, i can just hear a slight whine but it gets blocked out by the HDD anyway once it spins up. I can keep the fan on low RPMS up to about 1.7v in mine loaded. Definately the quietest cooler i have ever used :woot:Quote:

The mosfet area seems to do fine with the aquagate mini, though i still have a fan blowing over the ram as its BH-5 but the big heatsinks on the mosfets and the heatpipe cooler seem to keep everything cool already :toast:

i may as well list my stepping since this is what the thread is about.. ADA3000DAA4BP LBBLE 0519DPJW Z649556E 53772
plus a screen shot of the highest htt clock to date.
thx perc.
you are a legend dude...try that BIOS16 as well

2.7ghz @ 1.45 i say thats damn good.
im sitting at 2650 right now but i have to run the voltage up to 1.6v in order for it to be prime and pi stable. im gunna run like this the rest of the nite and tommorrow ill see if anything has changed.
i can go up to 2.75 but prime95 randomly fails.... but my HTT limit on this p.o.s. NEO2 is around 275 from the testing i did with my newcastle.
drop the cpu to 6x drop the memory to 100mhz and crank the HTT it peaked at like 275mhz which only made the cpu like 2ghz or less.
Yup BIOS 16 is going on as soon as i have lunch :slobber:Quote:

I think he did it like mine,look above the rad there's just has enough room for one HD.Quote:

Sorry dont have any pics atm, if you had to fill it after 2 years then thats nothing, just pop the filler plug, drain it out and fill it up again, easier than filling a car radiator. I did it similar to the other one pictured except i removed the cage comepletely and used the 2 floppydrive bays for HDD's instead :toast: using a front intake method, it will beat any air cooler on the market since its using external air to remove heat.Quote:

:idea:
Theres quite a few places the pump can fit, mainly behind the drive bays i think :toast: but i must say i like the aquagate mini, it doesnt beat the big watercoolers but for $115 AUSD, its a steal. Not to mention you dont have to fill it :fact:
I am still more than happy with my XP120 but if the aquagate mini had been available when I bought the XP120 it certainly could have changed my choise :) , BTW orig3n thanks for your time explaining so well this excellent product :toast:

Fans on radiators, when in the front of the case for intake, are usually pulling air from outside the case, through the rad, and into the case. It isn't hot air. If the air coming out of a radiator is hot, then something is wrong. Remember, water temps are supposed to be barely above ambient.
Yohh
add a cpu there
3000+ Venice 0509 CPAW 2922mhz @ 1.65v AIR :D :D :D :D
SrJabardo OUT

How stable? Prime95?
dude STABLE @ THEESE MHZ ON AIR? lololol it was just for the pic!!!Quote:

i would say before you get too derailed on watercooling here, check out the watercooling section at XS some more and see if this aquagate is mentioned much. See what Maxxx_Racer thinks of it. I personally wouldn't get watercooling unless it had a dual 120mm radiator or more.
SrJabardo, at least a few people can get prime stable at those clocks, so you mention 2.92 Ghz i thought it was at least slightly stable.
