Recommend me parts

[cbiltsouris]

hey everyone! I have finished my exams last thursday so now I am on a mission to watercool my rig wants it comes back in a couple of days. now can anyone one recommend me some good quality parts. the only thing I think I like at the moment is the ek water block acetal + somthing I cant remember. Im going choose a bunch of parts right now and then you guys can tell me if they are decent or bad.

 

[cbiltsouris]

guys I'm back and and this is what ive came up with:

EK-Supreme HF - Full Nickel

Swiftech MCP655 12V Speed Variable Pump

EK-Multioption RES X2 - 400 Advanced

Black Ice GT Xtreme 420 Radiator

thats all Ive got so far

your views and opinions wanted

oh and I forgot im cooling my i7 950 and a 580 and possibly the motherboard

look at this pump/res

http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/product.php?productid=6647&cat=1215&page=1

it will look titdy and stil give decent performance

thermochill rads aswell the PA ot TA series

amd if ur cooling the gpu and the cpu and mobo your gna need 2 loops

 

[cbiltsouris]

im in australia man thats gonna cost a fortune when you convert the currency

 

[thestepster]

watercooling isnt cheap unfortunately mate

 

[cbiltsouris]

yeah I slowly figured when I was adding up all the parts prices im at $486 withought coolant or tubing or fittings! quite tempted to stay with the d14 but well see first because im planning to pay for one part at a time.

 

[AMDFTW]

or just cool the CPU for now.

a dual rad wll be fine for that

 

[Ollii]

thermochill rads aswell the PA ot TA series

is that suppose to say PA or TA series (or) PA Not TA series?

 

[cbiltsouris]

yeah but if i buy a dual rad for the cpu then i have to buy another rad when i want to cool my 580 better to just the triple and not have to waste more money?

 

[AMDFTW]

is that suppose to say PA or TA series (or) PA Not TA series?

or lol

 

[Ollii]

or lol

lol thank god for that. I was 99% sure you meant or but was just checking

 

[AMDFTW]

its cool fella

the TA is newer and has things like an improved core, G1/4" ports and 15mm spacing

the PA is still good tho

 

[cbiltsouris]

hey just another quick question how in the world do i get my cpuz on my thing like i can see everyone elses

and im averaging a 4ghz overclock with max temp at 56 degrees and idle is 36 degrees now that pretty darn good i think

 

[AMDFTW]

you use it to validate overclocks

so if you did a suicide run at say 4.7ghz then you would validate the CPU-z

you can do it anytime tho fella just click validate

 

[cbiltsouris]

nah i meant on my profile like uno how toms got like 4 of them on his thing,

HMMMMM AMDFTW what do you base all this info on, Ive never seen a watercooled rig you have done.

Deffo dont 'need' two loops for a single GPU. If you are not 100% sure please just stay quiet fella rather than giving info thats incorrect.

 

[cbiltsouris]

Tom are these decent water cooling parts?

what so a quad rad will cool a 580 (oc), i7 950 (oc) and the mobo?

i may not have built a wc rig but i was not wrong ither

 

[cbiltsouris]

So not even a quad rad could cool my parts?

 

[Diablo]

An i7 can be cooled by a double (thick) radiators, although a triple will be more comfortble, particularly with the mobo involved. I have pair of 5970s on a quad and the temps never go above 51C, but that is on a gpu only loop. Generally people prefer to separate the gpu and cpu because the cpu is much more finicky about temperatures.

If you were OK with doing 8 fans on a push pull setup on a quad you might cool it all with a quad, but its not ideal and doesn't leave any overhead for new parts.
