new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

[1twelve2]

Here's my rig.
AMD 64bit 3200+ @2.01GHz 939pin
ABIT AN8-SLI mobo w/ PCI & PCIe slots
1Gb Kingston HyperX PC3200 RAM
BFG NVidia GeForce 7800GT OC
250Gb HDD @7200rpm
mouse&keyboard
19" sharp LCD & 17" Dell CRT
**NEW** Thermaltake Aquarius III external liquid cooling system

here are the pics


2 monitors are always better than one.


Thermaltake Aquarius (on)


a peek inside....


oooooo LEDs .... yum



Stock cooling gave me an idle temp of 42C, load temp of 52ish...
Watercooling gives me an idle temp of 29C, load temp of 40...... end of story

yay for watercoolng!

Lets see water inside of a computer. NO THANKS. Id rather stick to fans thank you. IVe heard horror stories of people who had water cooling and it leaked everywhere and shorted out their computers. This is my temps with a 80MM cpu fan and a 90MM exhaust.

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

well my computer USED TO idle at 40*C..... now it hover around 29-30..... i guess it goes back to the COKE or PEPSI despute

Damage to their computer is nobody's fault but their own for not doing sufficient leak testing and/or due care when putting the system together. A properly designed/installed w/c system is no more dangerous than air-cooling. Not to mention they could have gotten non-conductive additive for their water, thus making the water non-conductive.

You can use coke to cool your computer? Ima crack one open and pour it on now! Thx guys!

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

my cpu is around 32C/89F idle on air

12 i think i asked you before but how do you have your overclock setup with fsb , voltage, and ht

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

So long as you fill it with non-conductive coolant, which most people do, it should be fine. Thus "water cooling" is misleading, it should be called liquid cooling.

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

Congrats, I love my watercooling setup also.

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

Id go with nitrogen if i had the money.

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

Why haven't you atleast over clocked it to 2.4 ghz, you do not even have to touch the cpu voltage. ( it will do this on stock cooling )

Thank you professor norton.

Yes, I believe you are correct. He is Professor Norton, with the correct grammar, and spelling. In modern terms, I have no life and just sit on a computer and read about computer specs all day long instead of going out to play football with play catch by myself.

lol @ your sense of humour! :laugh:

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

Watercooling gives far better results than fans, it's just that it's harder to install, if you get leaks and water spills on your computer well you were probably just being careless with it.

Also yes you don't have to have water - any reasonably non-condictive liquid is ok, I dont see any problem using coke instead of water

Re: new rig..... watercooling system INSTALLED

How much does one cost and where can I pick one up??
