I am currently using a Koolance case for watercooling and we all know they have low flow pumps. However I wanted to maximize my cooling ability and I wanted to know if there is any other blocks besides the Swiftech STORM that will work better with my low flow setup?
I am currently using a Swiftech STORM block, but is it worth it to switch?
woo.. i dont think that your pump is good enough for the storm.. youre not really maximizing the storm's capability..Quote:

Perhaps something like apogee or the such for low flow? Like the above said. Sell the kit and spend that money to get something actually worth while. No point in wasteing your money over a lost cause..
why not use ddc+ pump...
I guess I forgot to mention this. I have a Koolance watercooling case. It's all completely built in and I can't get new parts unless I get a completely new setup.
I need a better waterblock and thats the only thing I am considering. I need something 3/8" preferably.
storm or apogee blocks with 3/8 fittings?
nevermind, I just ordered a MCW6000 with Socket 775 adapter.
so BIX not perform well in fan with CFM is lower than 110 :(Quote:

@ MaxxxRacer
I am currently building up a water kit for the system below.
The parts I have chosen are:
DangerDen D5 Pump
DangerDen BIP2 two pass RAD
Tubing to suit - all compontes are 1/2
I will not have a chip set block in my loop. And I highly doubt I will add a GPU block either.
I am currently looking for a CPU block and are in the process of reading through review ect. One thing that strikes me is you not recommending the Apogee.
Under the review found here, they did a comparison between the Apogee and the storm, and found no real differance in end result temps.

Gathering parts down in New Zealand is quite a task, especially more exotic ones. The Apogee is readly avaliable, along with the DD TDX/RBX - the Storm how ever is not. Is there that much differance between the two that would warrent the price jump (potentially twice the cost of an Apogee - if i could find one) for the Storm over the Apogee?
Awaiting your comments.
Maxxx is very busy right now. Please make a new thread if you want to discuss something like that.
Thanks.
What a rad box for ??
to connect your rad to your computer
to hang the rad from the back of the case. just search a bit, look in the pic thread....
like hanging your rad at the back of your case
from an 80mm - 120mm fan hole, attach radbox, attach rad...
or make some standoffs from long pcs of screws and some copper tubing
making sure that your screws will not pierce rad chambers!!...
why does the guide not include the Alphacool Nexxxos XP CPU waterblock? i have one of these and they perform very well. review:

Cause maxxx is too busy right now... ;)
does anyone know if the
Low Profile Acetal MAZE4 fits (along with the GPU) in two slots?
I have a x1900xtx that i gave up on finding a non crap aftermarket aircooler for it(AC makes a nice one for HIS but does'nt sell it aftermarket)
thanks
Yes it fits.
I didnt include the Nexxos because it is essentialy a higher restriction, lower performane MP-05 (noting that hte MP-05 takes alot of its design from the nexxos XP) and for US residents the XP costs more, has lower availability and has less customer support (the manufacture resides in germany).
BUT with all of that said, if you are in the EU and dont have access to the storm or mp-05, then its an execellent block.
and as I say in my sig, please send me a PM and I will respond as quickly as I can.
Anyway, can someone get me the US pricing on the Nexxos XP. PM me with the info please. Once I get that I will upate the cpu block guide.
U're right maxxx as for Nexxxos XP rev1. Nexxxos XP rev2 is less restrictive and about the same performance with MP-01 (with MP-01's advantage in higher head pumps or less restrictive loops).
I haven't tested both blocks to have a proof of this, but according to Radical (who used both) this is the situation, more or less.
in europe (where i am) the nexxxos is the only decent block available directly. thats why i mentioned it. id prefer to use my original whitewater block but i cant find 775 mounting hardware anywhere ...annoying
US residence can order the nexxxos from the alphacool website. they ship worldwide if u have paypal.
