Ok to start i am about to build a Core 2 Duo E2180 based system mainly for its overclocking potential and cheapness. For now though i am going practice ocing my AMD 64 2800.
I already have it oc'd from 1.6Ghz - 2.1Ghz using a good airflow design and currently my temps sit at 32C Idle & 45C Full Load. I can probably get to 2.2 or 2.3 with air cooling but dont want to push it.
So after much thought and research i have decided to go with a DIY watercooling kit. (((Ive decided to go all DIY with this and dont want to use any branded parts from cooling companies wat so ever, apart from the water block HAHA))).
For the kit im going to be using a Car Heater Matrix (core) as my radiator and an inline water pump from the local pet shop.
Anyway i have a couple of questions that someone or somepeople might be able to help with.
1. How do i build in a good air bleeding system?
2. What is the maximum strength of pump i should use, e.g. 600 l/h (litres per hour) or 3000 l/h etc pump? I know i have to make sure it doesnt use lots or power and keep the wattage down, ive seen a few that only use 10W power.
3. What is one of the best Heater Matrix to use from a UK car? Since i am in Scotland. lol
4. I am going to buy a CPU Water Block, any recommendations???
Thanks in advance for your help.
