Welcome Jakup to XS, nice rig.
Your moving to DD from a Swiftech?

Generally people go the other way around (tdx->apogee) to get rid of the horrible mounting and the plexi tops and see an increase in performance...
I really don't like the apogee... the plastic barbs really suck, not to mention it already leaked once :( This is for my Conroe setup though.
Maybe if the TDX is that much worse I will cancel the order, I have done so much reading today that the TDX/Apogee really seems like a toss up depending on who you talk to.
cant you just buy metal barbs?
I know the wooden box and rubber made res are ghetto, but I am pragmatic. I would rather have performance for less. The larger the res, the larger the volume of water, and the more heat it can hold.

might help to actually ahve the fans up against the heater core then?
I'm afraid water volume in loop has no effect on temperatures. Just takes slightly longer for them to reach equilibrium once the load changes.
As for the 'pogee barbs, just get G1/4 barbs (DD G1/4 HighFlow) and use both the orings that come with those barbs and those that come with the apogee's plastic barbs. Its what I do on my storm.
No, actually the way they are is just fine. I have 2 on each side, each rated at 96CFM. There is plenty of air moving over the surface of the radiator. Putting the fans on the radiator blocks the center where the fan motor is.Quote:

Volume certainly does have an effect. If you radiator is removing less heat than your processor is adding to the system, it will take longer for the water's temperature to rise. This will take some time, and as I don't leave my system on 24/7 it works quite well.Quote:

Welcome and glad to see you posting here. What "Chipset" cooler do you have on the way? Like you, I will be running Quad soon and there isn't much room on the DFI boards for a chipset cooler. So, I am curious to see what folks are using. I have a Forcetake Chip Force Chipset Cooler on the way. Hopefully it will work/fit.Quote:

I'm not going to be using it on my DFI board though, I am getting these parts for my Conroe setup :D
Well the Jing Ting fit in Quad SLI? Doesn't look like much room, I was thinking of maybe slapping the Jing Ting on the SB with the Conroe board.

well its tucked in buddy. to fill i just pull it out, remove the cap and stick my funnel on the end, voila. sits there while its bleeding and filling np. thanks for the clap! looked cleaner in its hey day too!Quote:

LOL Jking, though the chiller pulled down 12 liters to 0C in 39Minutes and thats with a crippled chiller cell and frozen over coils! so it will rock when don, and when the chiller isn't running the cell subs in as a res with an air auto purge.
But he is right, more thermal mass makes for happy system and stable temps with less flux.

Mion..is that a dual rad in the P180
That's some great work! And hopefully they like me, i agree ;)Quote:

@ postman... do you have any worklogs of making those blocks? Would be interested to see your process.
Those are some really nice blocks man, what temps you get with them? And to NealH, it's a dual rad on the top (don't know which one) and a PA160 on the front.
