whoever- whats the difference between the pump u linked and the one i linked?

 

[whoever]

this one for sure has an outlet that can have a hose slapped on, bu I still think I sucks, I would seriosuly consider findign some way of ordering parts online. or getting a bunch of caheir checks form 7 11 and mailing them in.

guys

you are really being rediculous here

air cooling will be far better performing than the systems being tossed around here

do it the right way, the first time.

 

[juliendogg]

you could drop by lowes hardware or any other home improvement and pick up a hobby or small pond pump with inline capabilites. You're probably talking in the neighborhood of 40-50 bucks though. Greenman is absolutely right, if you're going to get one of those pumps from petco then just stick with your aircooling instead. Total junk.

is it hard to build a waterblock? what would i need to make one?

If you can't find a decent kit, or know what a decent kit is I highly doubt you're ready to build a waterblock. Go read and ****

Be nice -Ridenow

glad it wasn't me this time....

Stupid questions? I wont bore you with the confucious quote.

I made my first waterblock before I even knew that there were watercooling kits. I know this doesnt apply to you, but we were all 'n00bs' once, and the only way to find out is to read and learn.

Read the Tips&Tricks forum on overclockers.com Bboy, watercooling. If you don't like reading and learning, then watercooling isnt for you .

Everything I know about it was mostly obtained from there, I even got the idea for my first (aluminum, ack) waterblock from some of the early slotted crossdrilled ones they had.

This is what happens when you get a little too rough.

Bboy_jon: Watercooling IS fun and satisifying. The thing is, would you like to answer the same questions over and over?

I really encourage you to try watercooling, but be patient...I spent over 3 months reading before I bought parts.

thank god.

the problem that people don't realize is that good watercool system is not cheap. Guess they are used to the hsf that cost between $20-30. They can go "cheap" at a certain extent and minimize loss of performance but still will need to spend at least $150. A 15 year old kid without a job and unwilling to read and learn is not going to be able to get that far with WC.

Are you mocking me? I'm 15 and don't have a job (but I am willing to read and learn)... Look at my rig

 

[Bboy_Jon]

omg people i looked at the stickies and i didnt find anything, if there is something than i missed it but ive looked over the stickies for something that would help me many times and i never saw anything.

 

[Cyrix_2k]

Look at the case galleries then... You can pick out popular components and layouts.

If you can't find a decent kit, or know what a decent kit is I highly doubt you're ready to build a waterblock. Go read and stop asking n00b questions.

harsh man..


Bboy, try the search function
Just go reading through old threads in this forum, you will always find something that helps if you look hard enough
