My 2008 Gaming Rig, Liquid Cooled by Koolance.

[NocturnalPrince]

so noisy!

[SuckXmyXchickeN]

thats nice, did your mommy buy you that?

[L00peey]

i wouldnt feel rite if my mum baught me lots of expensive shit.. i feel alot better if i earned it and baught it.

[AlbertaCanada420]

that fan controller thats in the front of your pc what is it called and could you get one that can fit in the drive bay?

[neardood1]

I have the same model dlow meter and mine used to click like that really loudly. then is jammed completely so I had to drain the loop and fix it. turs out there was a piece of crap stuck in it, and the magnet that flicks the RPM counter seemed to be corroding.

[ArmyofSeaturtles]

you should get a swiftech rad thermalshit radiators have air restrictions also u should mount the radiator on the top if you can because heat rises or exause as must heat outside the case as possible

[neardood1]

@ArmyofSeaturtles

lol... thermashit that's right thermaltake fails for liquid cooling. period.

[shfitling]

kinda noisy, i agree with DrDA..

[040797762]

wow cabels!

[Zesda22]

It also needs to be at the lowest point in the case (make sure its a good one with high flow to counteract gravity), also you might want better fans, Thermaltake fans arnt renouned for their quality fans...

All the best,

ZesDa

[Zesda22]

Having seen this case, some of the layout is wrong. I understand that the radiator is on the bottom and theres nothing you can do about that, but make sure the air from it is EXHAUSTED from the case.

As for the resivour you want it at the highest point in the case and a bleeding valve at the lowest, the resivour will always keep the system full and purge out air bubbles due to the effect of gravity, I wasnt sure if the cpu was the green blinky thing in mid-air but....

[DrDarkAssassin]

that liquid cooling is useless unless your going to overclock because the fans on the rad is going to be same volume as normal case cooling, so if i was you, get better cpu and overclock

[neardood1]

ima building a rig similar with the same fan and temp controller, and I REALLY WANT that motherboard. I have already got a crappy gigabyte board which is shit. it has only 1 PCI-E slot and it looks like its made of leggo. Got a G15 and G5, 22inch monitor

[darkshiv]

What are those lights on your RAM?

I must have those, just for looks!

[TheAZNLazo]

im just curious, how fat are you?

[neardood1]

lol

[darthbane17]

where the hell did u get the money to build this rig

[neardood1]

true. i'm not fat and I struggle for funds in my rig. I have a combination of debt to parents, trying desperately to work and get money and un-tech friendly parents who hate going to the computer store to replace my dodgy 4870 graphics card.

[Chandlermaki]

The GTS 640 are really slow compared to the 512...

[DADDYROBEE1]

how much is a setup like this?

[neardood1]

hey kid you sound leik a n00b, not saying that u are one. I wanna get a flo indicator and a trmprature monitor too

[bryan67gto]

oh, and how often do you flush your system and add new/top up the coolant? I've got the thermaltake bigwater 760is and it's been running steady for a month and a half...but I dunno the proper procedure to clean it and when you should...

[nathanlil13]

i have not Flushed my once.

[dunlrock]

no offense but thermaltake big waters are HORRIBLE

[neardood1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH lol

yoy (chuckle) bought a THERMALTAKE BIGWATER!!!!

LOOLOLOL

you suck NEVER BUY THERMALTAKE, always get the individual parts

[Assker]

Eh, Thermaltake isn't TOO bad. I have a Big Water 760i cooling only my CPU which is an Intel Q9550 Overclocked to 3.6 GHz (Stock at 2.83) and it keeps my CPU idle between 35C and 41C and never goes above 47C on load.

[bryan67gto]

I've got the same case, but I hated the red mesh panels. I painted mine gloss black.

Check out my system under my profile. It's pretty respectable. I just wish I'd gone farther on my watercooling system like you did. Did you just wc the cpu and vga?

[nathanlil13]

I just did the VGA And CPU but am planning to do the mobo to and Go SLI!!

[Nexus876]

Heeyyy !! How old are you !? and how find money for this !???

[demonwarfare]

hey my packard bell dell microsoft windows apple imac xbox 360 ps3 mod is raww i can download child porn faster than ever before:D:D:D:D:

[markoulas2]

hey! i have 8800gts 640 and Pentium d at 3.4 ghz! does the pentium d slow down my card(bottleneck)???

[hudders123]

lol you think the nvidia stock aircooling is loud if you turn an ATI 4850 to 100% fan my neighbour can hear it suprise it does blow up

[kx85rider]

LOL KOLLANCE?

Is thermaltake cloud!

[SDKDavid]

Is this a girl. Even if it is nice comp

[CombatSwordRogue]

why not instead of running the gpu block right to the cpu block, running it from the gpu to the back radiator then to the cpu block..since you have the pump going right to your main radiator

allowing the coolant to have more heat ransfer capacity

[elliotuk999]

all that fantastic liquid cooling wasted on a fairly average cpu and gpu -.-

[nathanlil13]

The New cpu I have Is very fast Quad core OCed to 3.2 GPU upgrade is going to happen soon GTX 280

[novablaze]

you like GTX280 or En9800Gx2?

[BeaverWalrus]

why would you put all that effort into liquid cooling your system when you aren't even going to overclock it?

stock air cooling is fine for a non-overclocked

system.

[nathanlil13]

2 things I have OCed my VGA and i would OC my CPU but the is giving my wired temps so i dont feel comfortable processor OCing it yet. second I think it looks badass. by the way I got a new CPU Q9300 Quad

[emceebisgit]

i would have stayed clear of a 45nm quad, the q6600 quad is still the budget quad to have due to have a x9 multi rather than the x8 multi. to liberate a x8 multi fully you need to have a chipset that can supply heaps of FSB, but that doesnt happen into a quad, the 500fsb barrier into a quad is only just being breached with the p45 chipset. still nice cooling :) you would notice a massive difference using different rads, those thermaltake ones arn;t very good.

[ACID1ER]

there you ..thats a damn good cpu..

[musashi606]

whats the thermal sensor on top called? or which brand?

[nathanlil13]

search zalman and go to there home page and look for fan controllers. they have others too.

[HanzoHk85]

zmfc2 is the name of that fan controller its about 35 bucks totally worth it. controlls four fans and temps and wattage consumed. And if you have a door on your case it will fit when you close it

[musashi606]

yeah i decided to get it... waiting for 4 days now..... My main reason getting this is becuase it shows the wattage:p

[musashi606]

Isnt it Xaser VI (6) not 4 which is IV. But nice setup. Have u tried putting the radiator on the outside? if so whats the difference to inside setup? I got the same case today but im stuck on what to get for LCS and all.

[nathanlil13]

no i haven't but i cant imagine a huge difference

[nathanlil13]

lets not bring America in to this If i'm wrong that has nothing to do with america. like you I have tried both and I found that my way work better so lets just move on.

[V0LCHARA]

Dude, you dont run the tubes from the pump to the radiator! radiator is the last step of cooling! This is how it should be.. reservoir to pump then to cpu block then vga block theeen radiator and then back to reservoir.. It looses liquid flow when you put the radiator after the pump.

[nathanlil13]

No your wrong Stupid dumb shit

[V0LCHARA]

What a nooob!

[nathanlil13]

fuck you dipshit how about you fuck do something other than dis peoples lives fucker.

[V0LCHARA]

Fuck urself kid! Im just helping you out.. been there done that!

[nathanlil13]

IF really wanted to help than your could do your research first and discover the in fact it does not matter at all.

[V0LCHARA]

Dude.. like i said... been there dont that... iv done both... the best way is how i said above. You dumb americans need to relax!!

[emceebisgit]

you are wrong volchara, very wrong. and to be honest, the difference is very minimal. the ratio of rads to blocks determines a uniform temperature for the system. due to it being a moving system, heat is dissapated from the blocks to the rads at a continuous rate. but placing a rad before a block means it recieves the liquid at its coolest temp. there are alot worse flow killers in that loop than the rads (sorry.). Also - thermaltake rads arn't capillery rads, they just a coppper snake.

[SkatetoBodomESP]

How old are you man? I am also a young system builder. (17)

[HazzyTrix]

soudns about 14-15.

[nathanlil13]

ya 15

[pkring22]

you are such a nerd dude!! see you at school tm!

[nathanlil13]

Just because I can do cool things with my Computer does not mean you should feel sad. Your cool too.
