Sas u [LIFTED] genius you mayte :D:D *sorry for my sweedish *:P I think its just my luck i have a P5K3 Deluxe so the NB SB cooler could come in very usefull indeed

I think i will take that offer up...

Just 1 question does the pump go internal or exteral of the case?


Cheers mayte u been a genious

Pumps are internal.

Hi, No offence but you seem to know very little about water cooling, so may I ask why you want it.
To run cooler, for overclocking or just to look "cool" knowing your needs would give people a better idea on what kit is the best for your rig.

Correct i know barley anything about watercooling... But in a way i know alot about overclocking and thats why its time to go water cooled...

I cba to read 3 pages of this thread, but what is your reason for going to water cooling?

So is the slight bump to 3ghz the best you have got on air. or can you get higher before the temps get to hot? 3.4 is common on air with a good chip. And why the

It's all about the barley watercooling

And I doubt you know a lot about watercooling Brad, as with pretty much anything the more you know the more you realise how little you know.

I honestly don't thik he needs watercooling really.

We (and in we I mean I ) hit 3.6ghz on a Akasa Nero cooler, and it was perfecly stable. But he wound it back down to stock clocks I think.

I'd be happy with the akasa cooler! I have a crappy Intel reference cooler, with a retrofitted Akasa PWM fan.

Yes we have hit 3.6GHz not just a cheap 3.0 but the problem is i dont wana seriosly ruin my lifetime of my components.

The main reason i wana go w/c is 1 to reduce the db on my plane that takes off everytime i start my pc up.

2. to feel like yeah i can get 3.6 stable but im only willing to go to 3.0 coz im scared of reducing my C2Q's lifetime... With water cooling i may feel like i can push the 3.6 limit and higher my scardy cat level from 3.0 to about 3.4 3.5

3. I would prefer it if my components wernt sweating their balls off at 3.6 on air... instead i could have it at 3.6 on water and they would just be ncie and warm

Do i explain myself enough yet??

Yes i already said before 'I dont know much about watercooling...' but i am always willing to learn, and i have found pretty much everything else out that i wanted so far...

Cheers guys hope this helps ...

Fair enough, go for it.
Just a few thoughts from me, 7/16" tubing on 1/2" barbs makes a great joint without any clips, keeps fitting clean and tidy.
Make sure you dont put any aluminum into the loop keep it all copper, some of the cheaper rads/blocks have aluminum in them.
If you want a near silent rig dont buy cheap fans for rad, and when you remove m/board to fit cpu block tidy up wiring at the same time to maximise air flow in case.

Most important when leak testing dont have any power going to m/board, just the pump connected to the psu with a paper clip plugged into the green and a black socket on m/board main plug.

Wow thanks alot mayte you seem to know your stuff so would u recomend testing overnight outside the case? buy shorting psu out and checking for leaks the next day?

YES!!!

fakesnake know's his stuff, he's a phase cooling guy. Hit well over 100% OC's many times.

so i hear fakesnake is an overclocking legend.

Wounder if he could hit 4.0ghz on my q6600 haha

I had it at 3.6 before

4ghz, thats only ticking over
Still got this chip and still runs as new, so would not worry about long term effects of over clocking, not on a Q6600 anyway.
Lots of people have had over 5ghz when on cascade or LN2.
