i've got the same watercool kit as sky and it doesn't include a radiator...
a strange thing i noticed is that my cpu temp is now 52 full load.. argh ! :mad: .. but the problem is that the water which is *distributed* out from the waterblock is totally tap temperature...
is there any problem with this ?
btw... i have about 35L of tap water and about 10oz of Mercedes Benz anti freeze/anti corrosion solution.. is it gona work fine ?

i am also planning on buying a car radiator since there are absolutely no computer radiators sold in hong kong... i can order from dangerden but i don;t like the shipping price so i decided to get a car radiator
is there anything i should watch out for?
 
I would check to make sure that your water block is sitting completely flush with the cpu. I can move mine around and make enough of a temp. difference to cause a bsod.
That should be enough water/anti-freeze to work well.

good luck
 
i have got the ELEN watercool kit which does not have a radiator
the idle and full load tempz. of my tbird 1ghz are 46 50
it is overclocked from 1ghz --> 1.45ghz...
are these temps normal ?
because the water which is coming out are cold
just a little higher than room temperature
 
Anti-freeze has minute particles that are rough enough to destroy water pumps in cars so be careful using them.
