Buying used watercooling?

[grandpatzer]

First time here at overclock3d

looking at this used:

I'm looking at used watercooling parts and unless I misunderstood the parts are only 1 month old besides the CPU block which also is little used:

I think this is wery old, even as he claims little used I think it's not at high value?

4x http://www.aquatuning.se/product_info.php/info/p1984_Slang-Tygon-R3603-15-9-11-1mm-Klar.html

^^^^^^ But 2.5m is uncutted and rest is cut but some of the cur part cart can still be used.

10x http://www.aquatuning.se/product_in...-G1-4-med-O-Ring--FatBoy----black-nickel.html

^^^^^I'm not sure if I ever need this many, CPU + 3x 6950, maybe 2-3 radiators amd 2 pumps at most.

5x http://www.aquatuning.se/product_in...thread-to-G1-4-inner-thread---Deep-Black.html

^^^^ Again not sure if this is too many.

Not sure how much these degrade but if only 1 month old I guess good shape?

So everything besides the cpu block costs 135euro new considering tygon not 4meters.

So the total cost for me should be 107-113euro incl shipping...

Considering the Tygon is not 4meters so the total value of the package is ~135euro.

As the cpu block is old even as good condition maybe ~15euro.

so total 150euro.

at most I save 43euro: 107/150= 72% of brand new price

I wouldnt buy that cpu block. EK Supreme HF or XSPC Raystorm is mutch better, so i would recomend you to get one of those. Also, it seems like you have plans for a pretty big wc set up. You need a good strong pump then, and the resorvoir you have linked is for a ddc pump. I would ratter get a resorvoir for a Liang D5 instead.

Well I don't need anything fancy for CPU, I currently running a 965 be@3.8ghz@1.45v on a Mugen 2 push pull setup.

So If that innovatek can handle 1.45v on a Phenom II X4 I'll be happy.

I already Ordered for wery cheap 4 units of Laing DDC-1, they are wery old model but unused and MINT condition, they are supposed to be slightly less performing then MCP350.

So if I put one Laing in the reservoir and another somewhere in the case?

Yes, for a set up with 3 gpus and cpu, two pumps would be good. There's many ways to install them, and its up to you how you wanna do it

How mutch are you paying for that cpu block? from the picture it looks like it is desgined for very small tubing, so i would check out what fittings you can use on it.
