So we talked about pro

[Chruschef]

My vap kicks arse still. And yes, it has uber bling. Totally rebuilt, new evap head and enclosure and all charged with R507 tuned to cool a QX6700. It is just collecting dust at the moment. I plan to make an adapter to use it with an i7.

that is one kick*** vapochill.

ur rad is bigger them most people's cases, so you dont count...

Also you took the application aspect into mind, so it works with your project..

I still love Naja's radiator tho.. koyo's are so nice..

Just joking...and copper rads are very cool. Only problem is the frame tends to be less elegant than alu rads. Unsure why but it just seems the case.

P.s. I will be reworking my loop so that the rads are in common but using 2 "Y" connectors I will give each loop (cpu and vga) its own pump. The "out" tubing from the two blocks will travel each to its own pump and then get merged before entering the rads together.

I saw that the benefit of 16m of head as opposed to 8m is nonexistant basically so this seems just the best way to use the 2 pumps.

I remember those blocks, this was around aug 1999.
The horror.

lol, great pic. watercooling has definately come such a long way. used to be such a pain in the ass. half of the stuff we would use came from home depot and we would just have to make it work. LOL

WOAH CCC i think you did your post quota for the year..

We gonna see you pop up again next year?? you really should participate more and stop lurking...

you seem like a really cool guy!

[ownage]

you mean 5 loops in one build or, 5 different waterbuilds,

I don't know if it should be 5x rebuild or 5x completely different loops.
I found out that rebuilding a loop can also be very educative.
Especially when I had such a small leak that a small almost invisible water drip killed one of the strongest 2900Pro's I've seen.

I agree with Neakuh that one should create its own standard. I think I'm good in building loops the way I always do, but I would have trouble doing it another way. You can't call a rally driver a bad/n00b driver because he doesn't know how to handle a formula1 car.

which is why i say no 2 loops are ever alike!

[Movieman]

okey i know im gonna get pwned for this...

but 5 loops is not enough... maybe 5 different types of loops, but 5 loops is definitely not enough..

Leaking? I think if your a pro, we dont even think about leaks... However we get them, when we do tho, we dont run around like a headless chicken and flare up the thread asking for help on how to wipe water off the board.. :P

Flow and physics? i couldnt agree with you more here... it gets really funny when people try to prove physics wrong...

knows how to build a well balanced loop!! <--- THIS IS THE KEY!!

im an advant when it comes to planning. I tell everyone PLAN b4 you buy, make sure you know what your buying and why...

The most common mistake on this forum is mismatched parts.. Injector blocks on multi block systems, or people throwing in random second pumps and 3-4 radiators when they dont know the reason...

The funnest and newiest fad on XS... getting rads larger then your case can possibly fit...

This cracks me up... (if our legends could see this forum now, they would probably die from laughing so hard)

my new definition of PRO... sets his own standards which work, and does not follow the bandwagon when it comes to builds...
this is what i call pro....

Looks at self..
Sometimes circumstances present you with a situation and you try and deal with it.
In my case the GTX560.. But then again it also makes you think and bring in the creative part of your mind and push the boundaries.
Now I have a MCR320 that will easily fit in the LL V2000 but because of circumstances the GTX560 is the rad that will be used.
Besides, since when do we take the easy way out?

I absolutely hated the pump that came with that set. (can't for the love of Allah remember what it was)
I ditched it all 16 months later to make my vapoli. (2001)



(sexy neon elastic band ftw!)
At one point the rest was water cooled, but vapo's are an expensive hobby.
I quit after it died on me, if I had the money to spend I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I loved phase change cooling. To bad it's such a hassle setting up and changing bits.

[skinnee]

You're a special case though Movieman...something only a pink tutu can tame.

[gillbot]

waaaah?

sure get more people to hate me..

Don't you do that well enough on your own!

I heard that he was doing a "Hello Kitty" build.

no thats was me..

[SiGfever]

Yeah but he was just jealous of your theme.

ROFL i still want a hot pink name...

[DarthBeavis]

MM and his new build:


You guys should know us at PDXLAN are some of the l33t water-coolers

[hellcamino]

That first pic is seriously just creepy.

[N19h7m4r3]

The sedond pic had me in stitches! Pro watercooler indeed.

Reading your location made me miss your old avatar.

i have to see if i still have pics of my phasechange units, i started with just cpu then bought a 2nd one for the gpu when benching. I may still have some pics of it somewhere.

here are a couple, first with water on cpu & pelt on gpu, then with phase on cpu and pelt/chilledwater on gpu, then phase on both cpu and gpu - that pic is when i was the 3rd person to reach 30k in 3dmark 01 LOL

some of you will remember this name, my r404 chillers were custom built by "HEREFISHY"

yah ive been around a long time. i used to post alot at madonion, once it turned into futuremark i spent most of my time here but i guess ive been too lazy to post.. LOL

[Oli4v]

YOu can learn as much from one rig that you rebuilt many times over. If you think about it, you really can learn MORE that way since you can replace a component in your loop and see the true delta.

idd, the first phase of learning is when you're not watercooling yet, when you're doing it, you learn much more easier, and I've learned already a lot of my 4 month's during watercooling (and hopefully much more longer )

and here@XS I see beautifull things every day and it's easy to learn from beautifull things

[DarthBeavis]

Yet another reason to never go to one of those things. I hope that's a bald headed chick, because if not, very very creepy. Wait a minute, that's very very creepy either way

andyc

LOL, yes there are lots of weird people but there are also tons of really cool rigs. I think you would be in geek heaven. Are you near any of these events? I worked with Intel to get CPU Mag to do their mod contests there so you would have a GREAT chance at getting on the cover and also getting the lewt. I am on the CPU Mag judging panel at PDXLAN 13 (in a few weeks) and also might be a judge at the next Intel LAN party in the Portland, Oregon area. You can bet I give extra love to TIGHT water-cooling setups as I think they really are aesthetically pleasing besides being functional.

You should go to at least one event just to check it out.

Well I've got some years on WCing. Not sure where exactly one becomes "pro" though.

I was a Noob here(eep! 500Gph and 3/4" tubing!) Pioneer though.:

Still a noob here:

Lol! It was '99 and I was a poor high school student! It certainly got the job done though!
