my new loop

[fireandice]

Well i got my bigwater 735 kit. took a little while to install it but overall i like it. bad thing is the gree dosent go with the red so im going uv and or blue so my fans i have in now are black instead of my old red led fans and my ccl's are out and i just got 4 blue leds to help light up the stuff inside.

over the next day i'll be cleaning up the inside and i'll be done by wed with my new sleveing and have all my blue led fans in and i'll be useing 2 90deg elbos to go from the case to the rad so i dont have the bend in the tubeing. also i'll be adding my graphic card to the loop.


results with the as5 just aplyed.

idle 25c
load 26c after 3 hours of super pi

so this cools my sempron pretty good :)

Looks good - I think it'll look better with the new colours though like you're saying :) If you could mount the radiator the other way round and cut some custom holes in your caes, that would eliminate those loops and the extra tube lengths - mind if I ask how come you've done it like you have? Just a question :)

Just a warning, the BigWater is a very low quality kit, the CPU block cracks after about a month and the kit is generally not liked by the OC forums members.

Sorry, but you could of had a really good WC system for about $50 more.
Also, what is your ambient temperature, because 3 hours of super pi, did you sit there and click the button over and over?!, won't make your proc go up just one degree, that program doesnt even use my whole processor. Try Prime95 to get some real results because right now the load temp is bogus.

dont come in my post and be rude, its my money and i spend it how i want.

as for the block just cracking out of no whare i dont baleave that and i couldent find 1 pic of it on a site that did a review. the super pi 32 m was ran over and over again and temps takein with my temp probe.

and no onto people who arnt going to post pointless stuff and know what there talking about i need a waterblock for my gpu. i would like one that has the barbs aimed up at the top of the case and also i need to find some good 90 deg elbos that wont restrict my flow to much. the elbos i found at lows were to restrictive.

id probably run sisoft sandra burnin test cpu arithmetic only over 30 cycles
to give yourself a better idea of load temps but tiss subjective given probe and diode inaccuracies. also it might be worth you avoiding elbows on a lower flow system a nice curve in the tubbing to your gpu would be less restrictive if your case allows. as for gpu block swiftech mcw60 or maze 4 gpu would probably serve you well - i don't know if the maze 4 comes with 3/8 barbs but the swiftech does - i think the 735 is 10/8mm tubing which fits over 3/8s barbs so you should be ok with either.
hope that helps some

is that pump a mag3? does the bigwater come with a mag3?
If so, he may have enough oomph in his little setup to actually support a GPU block. If the pump is anything made by thermaltake forget it.
Good GPU block is Swifteck MCW60 or DangerDen Maze4 or their fullcover blocks...also, please run a spell checker or finish your words, it was unbearable to read what you wrote man lol

na thermaltake 400l an hour job

i think its just a thermaltake pump. full cover blocks arnt worth jack with pumps like.
The only concern i have with your system is the tubing lengths, i dont really believ the temperatures simply because theyre damn low and its a thermal take kit, but to get the msot out of this kit tubing length may play an important part. the less resistance that pump ahs to deal with the better IMHO
Please dont make spell check comments though mate, its perfectly readable and soem people have difficulty spelling / writing ;)

I had this kit and the block cracked after a month, so did two other people's that I know, so don't tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just telling you about my expierience with this kit and the way it turned out for me and my two friends (we all went to fry's and got this kit).

You never answered my question either, what is your ambient temperature? Another question, would you care to point me to this "site that did a review"? How long did the testers have it for?

I second that.
