Not SURE??

[| raVen |]

In next 2weeks, I gonna be building my 1st LCAnd I'm not sure what pump I should buy?

http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop...XSPC-V3-Acrylic-Top-Bundle-Deal-pid-4820.html

or,

http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/Phobya-DC12-400-800LPH-12V-Compact-Pump-pid-10315.html

Its just for cooling CPU with 240rad 1/2-3/4 tubs.

Also what tubs I should by from specialtech, cuz meyhem said that promochill its really good, but so far they don't have clear one in stock for a long time, so which on I should get?

Great thanks

the DDC is overkill for a cpu only loop, so if you dont plan on adding blocks/rads then the phobya is fine

Yeah the thing is that in future I will be LC GPU as well, but not sure when I will change the GPU, cuz I have Matrix only about 2months.

i think ttl used that pump w/ 2 blocks so it should be fine

 

[| raVen |]

Yeah I think he even used 600LPH version.

OK but what hose I should get?Cuz specialtech don't have promochill(clear) in stock

I gonna order all bits in next week so I need to know as soon as possible

Thanks.

I use the 400 Lph phobya on two blocks and its fine the DDC is much quieter though and not as heavy and all so has a smaller foot print. the Phobya is much larger and and heavier and louder when running it full speed.

If you had a choice and enough money go for the 18w ddc you will not be let down buy it. How ever the Phobya is a great alternative.

I go for DDC, also please can you tell me what hose are good, cuz I remember that you said before that promochill have really good one, but specialtech have non of them in stock for long time, and I gonna order all the parts in next week(probably monday).

Thanks.

tbh after Primoshill there all nearly the same. Im getting some Danger Dan tubing sent over from USA so ill be playing with that.

 

[| raVen |]

Ok so even if I go for bit worst for 1st time its not gonna be that bad?

So far specialtech have only clear hose from XSPC, ClearFlexHopefully till next monday they will get some promoshill one as well.

 

[mayhem]

The XSPC stuff is oky it just clouds quickly. Dont worry about tubing to start with for a basic kit. take your time if needs be. Dont rush buying gear for water cooling it will end up costing a fortune.

this is were people make mistakes

Atm im running clear flex and have about 10 meters left of it. Its not the best stuff but it does me.

 

[| raVen |]

Thank You VERY much Mayhem!

Ok I go Clear Flex or XSPC10 meters... nice, yeah but you need a lot of them when you testing your dye and other staff

I'm planning to order 2 or 3 meters

What mistakes people make in the begining?

 

[mayhem]

Simple things like wrong compression fittings and wrong tubing, wrong size pumps, expecting a a Cheap off the shelf system to cool lots of hot hardware, fans that dont move enough air, crap thermal paste and so much more.

 

[| raVen |]

OK thanks. I think that I didn't make any of this mistakes. Hopefully I get all the parts I need till tuesday/wednesdayCan't wait
