[phaeton]

Ok, this is nuts...

I just finished installing my wc rig, hydor l30, swiftech mcw5000-p, chevette HC w/ 4x 80mm fans and a custom shroud, reservoir is now a 1 l masterchoice tonic water bottle (sorry, the canada dry can was too small)

......


on air cooling my p4 2.6C@3.2 was 38oC idle, 55oC load....

wc.... 29oC idle.... 36oC load.... holy fsk.

its SILENT baby... my ears cant believe themselves... before it was a howler that i couldnt sleep at night... now its OH SO NICE!


now im at 39oC load, 33oC idle because i went to 250 fsb (1ghz bus speed :D) so im sitting at 3.25ghz, i dont think i can go any higher, but i know its not the cooling restricting my oc'ing efforts

[phaeton]

95$ canadian

[ClarkKent]

$95C. Which store did you buy from? or did you purchase online? Could I get a list of the parts. I'm new to water. Thanks for the help.

[daniel_dynasty]

95CAN is like 200 us right?

[Guderian]

Any pics?

And why dual 80's on each side instead of dual 120's @ 7v?

[ClarkKent]

no $95 Canadain would be like $70 US. The US dollar is much better than the Canadian.

[termin@tor]

95CAN is like 200 us right?

no, actually, it's more like 70 us :eek:

Nice results though :clap:

edit: lol, you guys beat me to it :p

Well I got the pump (Hydor L30) and block (Swiftech MCW5000-P) from a guy selling em on some forums...

I built an enclosure myself out of wood (I'll post some pics tomorrow of everything, its not pretty but itll do)

The heatercore is a 86' chevette which I ripped out of a chevette myself at a scrap yard (10$)...

I don't have dual 80s on either side, I have 4x 80's sucking through one side, one because I had em, 2 because they perform good, 3 because they are silent when all hooked up to the same 12v molex :) i built a shroud myself, and got some 1/2" barbs with 3/8" threads and made my own reservoir..
