yay.........topic says it all
50C full load......reported with MBM5
and aruond 47C idle
it's so quiet!!! cant hear anything other than my case fans and hard drive
it's a few C cooler than my cak38 with delta but it's still worth it
going to add a pelt maybe.......still deciding
i havent set up my system yet but i turned it on and my Panaflow makes a nasty soud :( ofcourse one of the blades is broken LOL
Here's a picture of my system currently:
And here's a picture of the mod i did to my Aquastealth Cube Radiator, I used the i dea from Tubokeau's mod but ofcourse it didnt come out as perfect as his :(
I did made it big enough to fit a 120mm fan in there ;)

your pelt will fry if you dont have a radiator on there
a bucket full of water may work now but after the pelt there will be too much heat to disperse
I wouldnt be surprised if your temps just gradualy go up either

lol, no radiator, hah
If you live close by to a lake I'm sure you could get a super big pump and try that, of course people would do that (like me, lake in backyard) if only condensation wouldn't be a problem.

not really because I wouldn't just stupidly feed the it the lake water, lol, I'd put my resovier in the water to serve as a cooler to the water but it's not using any water other than the sealed safe water inside my res.
That would be funny though, thanx for the laugh...

Woah, I made the exact same transition, last week...CAK38 to water cooling without a radiator...you NEED to get a big bucket. Currently I'm running out of a small trash can :p But today I'm going to buy an ice box and parts for a bong cooler, hopefully. You should get a thermometer for your water tank, and monitor your temps so they don't go much over 25C. My temps are shown in my sig, what water block are you using?

Get yourself a radiator right away! You'll need it if you're using a peltier!

i am only running with 2L of water in an alluminium pot......
the only thing can find in my house
the temps never go over 53C on full load
but the water is like around 45C
i cant find any radiator avaliable near me...and i cant order on the internet! so i will have to stick with that
the peltier i was talking about(i thought it was one) is actually like a cold thingy....that allows me to attach it on my waterblock
i am using this kit

and the so called peltier is this one

Are you sure:D? You can try this. There is a car shop in Mong Kok that caters to people that modify their cars heavily & I'm sure that they would have a whole lot of stuff that they throw away when someone blows up there car & you just might find a oil cooler or you can also ask around for motorcycle radiators. The name of the shop is Top Racing. If I remember right from take the MTR at Tsim Sha Tsui then get off at Yau Ma Tei then walk towards Mong Kok turn right in Dundas St. & the shop should be on your left after a few blocks.

I bong cooler would work on your setup and all you need is some house hold items and a somewhat strong pump

Nope but have been visiting your country often & kinda familiar with the area. Car parts are cheaper there compared to were I live even with the cost of staying at the Penn. That is when I have to buy specialty parts for some customers who want nothing but the best for their babies(cars).

I'm thinking about the last week of October if I can earn enough cash. It's been a little difficult the past couple of months but hopefully things are looking up & I do want a vacation. You guys old enough to drink?

the bong cooler does not require a radiator. A fan and some copper tubing coiled will work as a radiator. You need something other than a bucket. If you get a rad, i guarentee your cpu temps drop a good bit. But yes, you will fry your cpu if you put pelt on it without a rad.

me and sky are not old enough to drink

old enough to drink? doesnt that depend on where you are? some places, 13 is old enough to drink.......when you think internationally it kinda makes the legal part irrelevant.
im old enough to drink here(canada), but not a 1 hour drive away in the states:)
i dunno why i posted this.....the drinkin thing(of all things) sparked my brain thingy into thinkin:)
LOL!!! You guys will get me into trouble for a serving few bottles of scotch to you kids:D :D. Let's hope I can close a few deals so I can have a nice vacation. Now I do hope you guys know a few females who love to party there:cool:
