Resevoir necessary?

You dont HAVE to have one but it makes bleeding alot easyer and filling and draining but like i said you dont have to one ;)
 
good

and check my rez out i think you will like it :cool:

Thats pretty awesome, bit big though lols. Hopefully all this will go inside my stacker830 case. Its enourmous so it should fit in easily.

How would you rate this for just a CPU cooler.

Reason for just the CPU, I use a 7950gx2 atm, waterblocks for those, not very cheap at all. So ill wait until i upgrade to a new card. When the G92 comes out in a water cooled form, ill likely buy that or if the ultra black pearl comes down in price Ill get that. Black pearl at £300 would be sweet.

Flow will go:

Resevoir --> Pump --> CPU Block --> Radiator --> Resevoir

Hows all that? Anyone got any suggestions? In UK btw so no american cheap deals :D

edit: Also basically a few questions.

1. Will this outperform a high end air cooler like the Ultima 90 which i got atm? Otherwise theres no point in getting it all.

2. Does the l/h make much differecne in cooling? Say 100l/h vs 1500l/h? Or is there a certain amount you need and thats it.

3. Can I get decent fluid to put in it which, if it leaks, it wont brake my stuff, Ive heard of it but IDK if its any good or what its called. Would definatly give more piece of mind.
 
change the cpu has i have heard alot of bad things about the apogee

i would get a dd fill plug which will save you haveing to pop the drive out for top ups or refills ;)
 
Isnt the Apogee made of aluminium, and if you use copper components in the same loop you will have galvanic corrosion over time.

Its best not to mix aluminum and copper tgoether.

Change the Thermaltake reservoir to sumthin else, Thermaltake watercooling gear is notorious for being shoddy.

Scrap the D4 for a DDC and custom top.

Loop order is fine.

Feser 1 Coolant is non-conductive and will give your parts a better chance of survival IF it does leak out:

I thought that resevoir was quite nifty because although the stacker830 is quite large most of its space is used up.

How is a pump+resevoir in a single thingy comapred to a seperate one? if it sgood can you reccomend me one that has over 1000l/h, since I need it to have decent flow for when I add a chipset block and gpu block.
 
I would always prefer to have the pump seperate from the res if possible. If the pump dies it is alot easier to swap out than if it is stuck inside a sealed res.
 
From what I can see the Apogee GT is indeed made of copper.

For that particular circuit loop would 1000l/h pump be less effective then a 1500l/h pump as far as cooling goes.

So which water block would you guys reccomend then? I have a quad ideally id like to put it to 3.4 - 3.6ghz which on my model would need a vcore of 1.4 - 1.5. I dont want to go over 60degrees at all... if it will then im wasting my money with water cooling beacuse my ultima 90 can do high temps.

Apogee GT is injectionmoulded plastic top and copper baseplate.

Apogee GTX is aluminium top with zinc-cobalt plating, and copper baseplate.

D4 has been a discontinued pump (by it's manufacturer) for a while. You want either the Laing D5, or the Laing DDC3.2 18w.

For QuadCore, I tend to recommend the D-Tek FuZion.

All depends what radiator and fans you use. "A 240mm radiator" is too generic. A 240mm radiator with 20cfm fans will result in temps towards 60 degrees. A 240mm radiator with 200cfm fans will result in temps equalling ambient.

Be more specific... which 240mm radiator, with which fans?
 
no idea ive never done water cooling. Reccomend me some.

I my case I could quite easily fit a 360mm radiator down the bottom, would it be best to get one of those and put custom fans on it, thats what your saying right? Theyd be about 60cfm of my choice each.
 
Bigger the radiator, the more heat the system can remove (depending on airflow). ThermoChill PA120.3 with Scythe S-Flex or Zalman FM-3 would allow for dissipation of around 400 to 450w of heat... see HERE
 
So say I got a 3fan grill with 60cfm fans, and i put the chipset CPU and 2 GPU's in the cooling loop, would that big grill be enough to remove it from all that heat?
 
Aye, sumthin to do with the glue that "Tribal Overkill" used to put them together "apparantly"... ... it probably doesnt like temperatures above 30 degrees or sumthin stupid like that.
