WAter Cooling Starters

[xandman]

m gona be building a watercooling system this break. ive read a lot of reviews and articles about watercooling.

i need advice and good plans. is there a possibility of condensation with h20?

[plague]

cool, im buildin a watercooler soon, too. so i guess we'll be seein you around here a lot with questions...;) This is the place.. anyway, no, dont worry about condensation unless youre planning on putting in a peltier. youre fine unless you cool the cpu to below ambient temperature, and more importantly, below the dew point. but with normal water cooling, youll be fine.

If you're gonna make your own case, and you want it to be big, try making one in a side-by-side kind of fasion (cube like) with two seperate compartments.. one for the motherboard and cards, and one for the PSU and drives. I've always wanted to make a case like that but I've never got around to it.

As far as the watercooling goes, it's the planning stages that will make or break a configuration. Just make sure to spend adequate time there. (I speak from experience because I never do, and I break far too much stuff. :) )

nice...

I'm another one that's about to take the plunge. as soon as my block arrives, probably after xmas :(

got myself a 4"x12" bong and using the scotch pad method...

got a fluval 204 pump which has it's own resevoir...
I just hope it doesn't drain the resevoir faster than it fills it...

but I've got 3/8" goin into the block and 1/2" from block to shower head...
hope this compensates... I'm thinking the pump revoir has to be topped at all times....
