something came through the post

[thestepster]

well here's a little peep at whats going to be happening to my pc never done a watercooling loop so any input would be taken onboard, moneys been really tight atm and didnt think this would be possible but i have to hand out proper big ups to the ppl that really helped me out with this, first up is Nstorm (lee) he is a member here but i originally met him on another fourm and was kind enuff and awsome to give me whats in these pics below so give him a big hand for the help he is a top bloke and you wont come across many ppl as nice and generous as lee is

and the second up is Mayhem for giving me some Mayhem Dyes Ultra Pure Liquids

Little spec run down incase u cant see what they are, Heatkillers 3.0 waterblock - Swiftech MCP355 - XSPC res top - Enermax Cluster Fan - 2 pump tops - Heatkiller 775 and 1366 Backplates and fittings - Hose Clips

this is all the bits out the box, some nice sexy gear there

here's the heatkiller nice black one to go with the black/white theme

the 2 pump tops i got but ill be using a res tho

this is the res its XSPC one feels really sturdy, but then so it should

this is another enermax cluster fan im going to be using on the rad in push pull, need to pick up one more

and just some more pics of the bits

and here's the res, Black Ice Stealth GT Gen Two 240mm

Nice stuff for a first loop in watercooling!

The only advice I'd give is to take your time and plan your loop thoroughly before you start installing anything.

Also definitely use the hose clamps on your first loop just to be sure of no leaks. When you've done a few you might wanna experiment more.

I expect you've read plenty on it so I wont go thorugh it all, but during leak testing, make sure nothing is on apart from the PSU to avoid potential blown hardware.

Looking good! Hope you get everything set up the way you want

 

[tinytomlogan]

What size rad dude and what model?

 

[PCTwin]

Nice. Big hand for your friend Lee.

 

[thestepster]

yeah its really good stuff and i got it for free from Nstorm, top bloke

got black bitspower barbs comin through the post should be here in a few days depending on when the money clears into the guys account and he can post it out

ive got 2 meters of 7/16" tubing till i can get money to get white tubing so its gonna be pretty tight round the barbs

yeah know about only running the pump and everything else off, just not sure how im gonna lay it out being only a cpu atm it should be pretty easy

i have had a bit of a thor of how to mount the pump and really dont like the idea of it sittin or being stuck down and i aint drilling holes in my case either so on my travels i came across a pump mount and it needs a fan to mount it on so i thot hmmm no fans i can but then i remembered this sharkoon rebel 12 fan frame that can let u mount a 120/140 in the 5.25" bays so im gonna buy one paint it black, mount a 120 to it and then mount the pump to it nice and secure and tidy i hope!

@tom only only one pump but 2 pump top and 1 res came in what i got and its a 240 black ice stealth gt gen 2

If its the skinny rad dude then it might not cope with your clocked i7 at full whack folding. In my testing the D14 is on par if not better than a skinny 240 when left running.

 

[thestepster]

i got it for nothing, but as i plan to upgrade the bits in time to add more things in, once my lappy sells ill have some cash to splash out on a fat 360 rad

 

[tinytomlogan]

Ahhh sweet ok fella

 

[thestepster]

but beggars cant be choosers when its free mate, well not free it was an xmas gift, plus its not gettin clocked to death yet or folding for a wee bit
