going back to WC

[sup3rcarrx8]

Hey guys. It's been only around two months since I've had my 64-bit system and I'm already getting bored and a bit frustrated at my current temps. So I'm going to save up around $150 for the block and radiator (I have the other stuff already from my old setup). Does anyone have any suggestions on which block or rad to get? It's going to be cooling the 3200 Winnie in my signature. I also want the radiator to be hanging out in the back or something instead of inside since I'm going for an external setup this time. Thanks.

BIP+radbox from swifty. Try and get some idea of what your chip will do before laying down the cash. Alot of those chips go no where no matter how cool you get em.

for $150 a RBX, TDX (#4 plate of course) white water, 6002 swifty, any one of those will be perfect and go grab a heater core from www.voyeurmods.com have fun

What does the "RBX" and "TDX" stand for?

those are two different models of CPU water blocks that Danger Den makes.

Is there a major performance difference between both the TDX and RBX blocks? Also I heard one of the two requires at least a 300gph pump or more to get some decent flow going through.

Also which of these heatercores would you suggest to get from voyeurmods?

I'm getting pretty good temps with the 6002. Its cooling a 2.5Ghz Clawhammer (250x10) in a 80-90F room. I get about 39C under full load. There is still a lot of tweaking to do with my HC (shroud, fan mods, etc) too. Right now the HC is just laying on top of two 7v 120mm fans. I'm planning on shrouding it, having 4 120mm fans and using a 0-12v fan controller (with fans running ~5v).

Go to NAPA or Discount Autoparts, or whatever the local major autoparts store ieither get a Chevelle heatercore for the single 120mm fan, or the '77 Bonneville w/AC if you want 2 120mm fans.

Not as "pretty" as the ones for sale online, and you'll have to sweat on your on fittings. But it will only cost you $8-18.

I got around that with my 77 Bonneville HC. Just dremel off part of the tubes. At that point I was able to stretch 1/2" tubing over it. Tighten thoroughly with WORM clamps.

Would I need to get a better pump if I got the TDX copper version? I currently have a Maxijet 1200 and not sure if that will be able to push through the WB fast enough.
