water chill system from asetek

[BLooD]

Hi guys (gotta be some ladies here ), im hoping to be starting a water cooled setup around late feb, i can get the waterchill kit from asetek, the same ppl who do the vapo-chill systems, anybody using this setup and or has experience with it, can ya let me know how it compares to other kits, hopefully i will have some results for ya, chears doods

I'm sure most people will agree with me when I say that you should build the kit yourself, because normally they preform better and are cheaper.

So true. DIY is the way to go. But if you're hell bent on a kit, there are better ones out there.

This is the place to ask questions, so fire away. Years of collective knowledge in this forum.

ok, chears, so point me in the right direction then, i live in the uk, and will have aprrox £200 to play with, i wanna get some good results with this p4, looks like it might be capable, managed 3.38 on air, vcore 1.65v

 

[DOHCrazy]

probly more than that with a small up in vcore...

I have ordered it(KT15-L20), and it should be in by the end of this week. But I just found out that the tubing is 1/2" OD, 3/8" ID and I am quite fedup cause I would be adding a Maze4 GPU block in and no doubt the performance would not be so good. Besides, I read through 30-40 reviews of this kit and found it to be one of the most user friendly kits in the market, though not the highest performing.

 

[BLooD]

k, think i might just go for the challenge and build a kit me self

 

[Charloz24]

Yeah way to go! It's a lot funny too!

lo BlooD ....i am using an asetek system and tbh it rocks ....i read up for ages and since we dont have the resources available in usa like loads of dealers..i went for the asetek getting some nice results too ...have only had one leak when i changed my vid card over...very easy system to fit that can no doubt be sold second hand no problem when i know a bit more about watercooling
on the 12v setting i get a stable temp of 26c/30c load with a 3.0 @ 3.585 ...chip wont go alot higher as most 3.0's top out around 3.6 but am going for the 2.4 in the new year when me pockets are ful again lol btw i get 28c/34c on 7v (almost silent)...the only other alternative left to me was danger den maze 3 kit and tbh if ya wanna pay loads for shipping etc and have a little more fun building it yourself then crack on....but as a noob to water i found this a wicked intro good luck & happy o/cing

 

[BLooD]

chears for that bud, much apreciated , i will post results when i get sorted, got two months to think about it anyway, is that just the cpu kit $anch3z?

 

[Muku]

my suggestion would be to read through the stickies in the watercooling section of the forum, as well as search for specific topics you come interested in. Because, I know from personal experience, ..they keep coming. (yeah I'm a science lover)

As others have said, don't be afraid to ask questions.
Building your own kit is very enjoyable and rewarding.

lo BlooD i got the full kit just to be safe when i was overclocking it all...saw it being a bit of a pain having to drain off water etc every time i put a new block on ...btw i will pm ya with the place where i got my kit

 

[BLooD]

cheers dood, i was looking at the one on overclockers.co.uk

 

[BLooD]

yo dood, ordered an asetek waterchill kit from the link ya gave me, got the power kit on order, comes with nice dual rad and twin fans, not gona be in stock till jan 21st , 10 bloody days, ah well

 

[$anch3z]

hey BlooD nice one dude....i have been thinking about getting a cpu similar to yours just waitng on the funds arriving in my bank now i have noticed they are great overclockers...more so than my current cpu....where are you gonna put twin rads? i got an antec case with alot of room but i still need to cut holes in it for one radiator....but then again maybe you planned better than me ...doh!!!

 

[BLooD]

lmao like f***k did i think im gonna mount the twin rad on the back of the case, routing the tubes through the backplates, been trying to think how im gonna cool me fx 5800ultra too

 

[$anch3z]

lol BLooD...have you ordered the gpu cooling block? is so it fits on most cards as soon as i got my 9800 pro i ripped the standard heatsink off never even contemplated using stock cooling...hopefully your stock heatsink is'nt stuck with epoxy so you do similar for the core....i used an old heatsink which i cut up and attached to the memory chips ...works nice but am burning this one in slowly as i think i frazzed my 9700 pro by going to fast to soon without proper cooling

 

[BLooD]

iv allready had the sink of me fx, game and half that bleeder were, runs great at 540/1.10, gainward golden sample fx 5800 ultra, this fx has taken all the **** iv thrown at it and just smiled sweetly back, yeah its the full kit, just the power edition instead of the standard one,. i owe u one for the heads up on that buddy, was cheaper than ordereing just the cpu power kit from asetek.

 

[$anch3z]

hey no problem BLooD just looking for a SL6Z5 or SL6Z3 preferably...wanna flog me 3.0c and see how far i can take a 2.4 or 2.8 but its gotta be the right stepping btw heard all good reports on the goldensample hopefully you'll be able to really punish it

 

[BLooD]

try overclockers.co.uk they have the 2l6z5 for deffo, out of the sl6z3 though, i just got me a d1 2.4c sl6wf for £80, i wanna kill the 50,000 barrier on aquamark
