Hello

Coffin Dancer · 03-11-09, 04:14 PM

Just thought I would say a quick hello to all.
I have looked at these forums quite a few times, and since now I am about to start a water cooled project, thought I would register.
The parts arrive tomorrow, will be taking my time to build it, as I am short of time, but will keep you posted and maybe ask some advice, cheers in advance

muddocktor · 03-11-09, 04:20 PM

to OCForums, Coffin Dancer.

What are the specs for your computer and what are your plans for watercooling? Are you doing a cpu only loop or are you going to cool the video card and possibly the northbridge too? We are here to help you any time.

Coffin Dancer · 03-11-09, 04:59 PM

Thanks for the welcome muddockor
I have gone for the i7-920, with the gigabyte EX58 extreme mobo, putting a gtx285 in there.
I am going to be using two loops, one swiftech vario, with thermochill 120.3, cooling the cpu and mobo, and a swiftech vario and black ice stealth 240 for the graphics, gives me the option for sli in the future.
All this is going into a silverstone tj07s.
Quite a few other bits and pieces too, will update with photos when I get em.

hydrata · 03-11-09, 05:02 PM

Definitely gonna need pics of that!!

Spawn-Inc · 03-11-09, 05:29 PM

sounds good, i always like seeing builds.

and Welcome!

just a word of warning, your mobo block has aluminum and you will need an anti corrosion coolant.

Coffin Dancer · 03-12-09, 10:12 AM

The bits have arrived, one word is all I can think of here. Heaven

zbo · 03-12-09, 11:10 AM

Very pretty. Looking forward to seeing this build.

hinderpits · 03-12-09, 11:12 AM

*wipes drool off of face*
oh and

Badbonji · 03-12-09, 01:21 PM

What rad's are those? I have the same mobo, and love it

I take it you are going to have 2 loops to seperate the gpu from the cpu? Can't wait, seeing so many new pc parts in one place makes me drool :P

Coffin Dancer · 03-12-09, 03:11 PM

Rads are thermochill 120.3 and black ice stealth 240.
Just ordered some splitters to go onto the motherboard block, so that I dont restrict flow.

DarkFury · 03-12-09, 03:15 PM

oh , i hate splitters like those... one loop isnt going to have a lot of flow for sure.

Spawn-Inc · 03-12-09, 03:41 PM

its the best option as the n/b won't get as hot and more flow will get to cpu.

but i wouldn't add the n/b in the loop anyway as its aluminum.

Badbonji · 03-12-09, 03:45 PM

Why two different rads? One is more restrictive, and also one likes high CFM fans and the other doesn't, just seems a bit odd :P

neither needs high cfm, but why 2 different rads i agree with.

and at the very least go with a Swiftech instead of that black ice steath stuff...

Lol some of that advice would have helped prior to him buying and receiving the parts.

very much so once i heard what he got however he started the thread saying they where on there way so ohwell.

BeHappy · 03-12-09, 05:40 PM

Lol yeah, But i know that build is going to be awesome, regardless!

Spawn-Inc · 03-12-09, 05:51 PM

ya i love seeing all the parts of a pc in a single picture, makes me want to upgrade so bad but i don't need to in any sense of the word.

Conumdrum · 03-12-09, 10:43 PM

Yea, it will be okay with what he has chosen, should be a nice beast.

OP: I got the same mobo, but waiting on my tech station (not in stock). I'm gonna just run air on the NB, from what I read peeps get good temps using the massive air sink that came with it. And peeps also say the WB on the NB is crap. Aluminum interior, 3/8 barbs fized, and isn't that effective at pulling heat. Wish they had made it fit a standard WC NB block, like the MCW30. Ohh well.

Best of luck, I'll be watching this build, gonna be a month till my tech station arrives.

BeHappy · 03-13-09, 06:52 AM

Ive heard the same thing regarding that nb block. I dont know if it would be worth it when you take mixing metals under consideration.
