hi everyone i have finally decided to go water cooling on ym xp1600+ after watching my temp avg 45C and my board avg 40C

do u have any tips? or rules i should know about before i risk ruining my manhood (my bab..i mean pc)

Stedeman · Jan 5, 2003

take your time and look it over / run it out of your case for a while too

hp98173 · Jan 5, 2003

will i was going to build it. add some red die in run it for like 24 hours or see out of case on towels and see if it has leaks. but yea this will take me a long time to do. i really don't feel like friing my baby

lol

Ps. anyone know how to cool a ps down?? mine is running at 100C

"Ps. anyone know how to cool a ps down??"

yea.. its a fan usually does the trick

The Spyder · Jan 5, 2003

LOL 100c? YOU WOULD not be on ur pc now if it were that hot.....

hp98173 · Jan 5, 2003

i dunno Sandra says it is 111C i know it is hot but i never thought it was that hot?

i was thinking my sensor was messed just dunno how to check

HappyAmdOwner · Jan 5, 2003

eh.. my ps is at 80..
i think more case cooling fans will do

hp98173 · Jan 5, 2003

i have 4 80mm fans going (+one in the ps)
plus my Volcano 9+ on my heatsink

HappyAmdOwner · Jan 5, 2003

:S
maybe it's ur mobo temp probe/
most accurate to use somethign like digidoc

hp98173 · Jan 5, 2003

digidoc?? a external temp sensor?? not the boards?

Frodo Baggins · Jan 5, 2003

lol, if your brave, I wonder if you can open your ps and put a fan under it (if it doesn't have one alrdy ), but if you go wc, the temps should go down cuz of the overall case temp

hp98173 · Jan 5, 2003

lol i want to add a 80mm intake fan on my case rigth in front(looking at it across the top) of my ps just havn'ty found my green lcd fans yet.

Frodo Baggins · Jan 5, 2003

hey canadian m8...I don't want to be a downer, but be SURE you want to spend that much on ocing. I know it's an expensive hobby, but I've seen that for myself (after spending a hundred or two total) that it's really not worth that much

Hate to be the party pooper

But just think long and hard if you want to spend $350 on something that will get you a few more Mhz on your comp, and something that IMO will be obsolete in a few years as technology evolves

Just my 2 cents

And if your set on building a wc system, then IMO, 100 bucks for a heater core is way too much. Go get yourself one for under 20 bucks in great condition at any auto parts store

Mikeonatrike · Jan 5, 2003

Thats some pretty expensive stuff, and u might need more then 4 of tubing. Oh and a T line is recomended. Plus a heatercore from a autoparts store is gonna be about 50 dollars cheaper and work alot better.

hp98173 · Jan 5, 2003

well i won't be over clocking this pc i just don't like how hot everything is and it sounds like sa jet engine.

but what are the advanges/dis of going with a heatcore from a old car?? is there alot of changing needed to be done for it to work?

Whats a T line for? how much u think? cnd? u think i can buy a good hose for cheaper? if u so u know the name/model of a good hose

hp98173 · Jan 6, 2003

once i set up my wc these temps will go down right? (the ps for sure right?)

hmm??i dunno
