My first Adventure with water cooling, input please

That one is for DDC's

No, there are different designs of pumps. This res is nice, but made for the DDC3.2 etc series of pumps. Your looking at the D5 pump. Different like a square to a circle, they won't fit in the same hole.. Maybe by looking at a picture of the different pumps you's see that.

I wish you'd step back for a few weeks and learn this stuff first by reading this link a LOT.

This is going to be a folding build, meaning 2 computers in one i think i have the terminology right.

a folding pc is a pc that runs folding @ home 24/7 im not sure on the terminology for the 2 computers in one thing

Will get to reading as soon as I get home tonight and spend some time there took a quick glance some good good stuff there I should and will read

PTNuke is a biocide, as is silver. I run straight distilled with a silver killcoil personally.

Circular thing on the monsoon is where the pump goes, it uses a d5 (mcp655).

Gentle typhoons straight rock, you won't be disappointed with their performance.

Which style tubing do u use I've been eyebawling 2 this one http://www.frozencpu.com/products/7..._34OD_with_18_Wall_-_Black.html?tl=g30c99s172 and this one http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ID_34_OD_-_Silver_AS600038.html?tl=g30c99s172

Are you running 4 pumps for 2 loops or did you leave off some blocks?

Also, full cover blocks are (at least for the past 2 gens of ati and nvidia cards) compatible with only reference cards. coolingconfigurator can tell you whether or not it's reference, but (as an EK project) the only blocks in there are EK blocks.

Actually what I plan to do now is build my new PC of course which is what we have been talking about for the most of this thread but a couple posts back I got the great idea to take my computer I have right now that I built about a year agqnd put it in the same case so each side will have 2 loops, side one whhat we have been talking about, and then side 2 which was mentioned briefly back up the page a bit, will work on complete list and check compatiboltiy after work, pain in the a** to type on mobile phone keyboard more Han just a short message expect update and full build plan in about 12-14 hours from now

 

[m0r7if3r]

yea, you definitely have blocks for 1 setup, but pumps and rads for 2 as per your planned setup earlier.

major edit to orrinal post with my new proposed set up what do you all think about it compared to the orriginal total newbish idea or a build, let me know thanks to all who have helped me so far.

 

[m0r7if3r]

EDIT EDIT EDIT

Ok so my first build proposal was retarded, in theory was bada** but quickly learne from the repies below that it was not, so with the help of m0r7if3r, Daemonkin, loopflow, conumdrum, ajex i have came up with a better solution for my needs, and been directed to some really steller threads that i have learned much more from(before hand thought i had it all figured out form just lurking around for a couple months, but still had much to learn)and still do have much to learn, but here is my new proposed build:

So this looks pretty good i think, not to much overkill and plenty of room for expansion i nice median in the middle i think, what do you all think. The only thing left is to figure out what the best compression fittings are to use with my compenets and blocks, what are ya'lls favorite fittings?

And also i am trying to figure out what are the differences between windows7 pro, and windows7 ultimate besides the language packs, is there anything that is really needed in windows7 as far as gaming advantages, and or benchmarking and overclocking?

not sure if I gave you those links or not, but read them (again) anyways. Those fans are awful rad fans.

Couple issues, you need 1 rad per loop...i only see 1 rad listed at all...i think that's a typo though. don't worry about loop order, run it how tubing works best, the only rule is res before pump. Those rads really like push-pull, good call there , nice choice of tubing, blocks all look good.

For fittings bitspower makes some REALLY purrrdddyy fittings that flow really nicely...widely considered the best fittings out there, though EK and enzotech both have offerings that are supposed to be pretty good.

For os, I'm not precisely sure the difference, but I know microsoft has a chart...might wanna poke around for it . In terms of benching, very little likes 7, most stuff is best in XP and Vista, but that's competitive benching, so I don't guess you wanna take it that far...7 is great for daily.

it was a typo has been corrected will find different fans, reading threads now thanks, i might dual boot xp and 7 on both sides would be interesting to make some charts of the different benches.

Gautam did an OS manifesto a bit back...the major thing to remember with OSes is it's gonna vary from setup to setup which scores best.

thank you, i have added to the 2 fans i am thinking about to my shopping list at the top i am deciding between these 2, do i want extreme performance, or quite,hmmm so many variables when building one of these things.
