Hello Everyone,
I'm sure there is a lot of good knowledge up here already but sometimes it is just hard to sort out. I need some suggestions on what should be upgraded in my water cooling system.
I am currently building a new machine. The CPU will be a C2D E6400. I am replacing my AMD 2600+. Here are my current parts.
Waterblock:
MAZE4 - Copper Top, 1/2 Brass Fittings
Coolant:
ZEREX
Pump:
Eheim 1250 w/ relay switch
Fan:
Sunon 120x38mm
Rad:
Unpainted Core (Brass Barbs 1/2")

Tubing:
Clearflex 60 1/2" ID 3/4" OD
**These parts are about 3.5 years old and 24/7 use.
I certainly need a new water block so suggestions on that would be great. Also, I'm not sure if the pump is still strong enough or not. I'll only be cooling the CPU as I don't have an insane GPU (x1600XT) since I do very very little gaming.
All of my components are in my case and I'll be moving the rad up into the 5.25in bays instead of below the hard drives bay.
I've attached some pics from when I built my current cooling.
Also, how in the world do you guys keep your tubing clear?? Mine got "cloudy" after a bit of use. The liquid isn't cloudy but the tubing is.
Thanks,
Mike
**Edit, the t-line was actually moved to the line going from the rad to the cpu.
