did you try occt

I purchased most of my water cooling and PC modding parts back in 2004 from his store. They are overall one of the best online stores I've ever dealt with. After doing an online custom water cooling review I feature them “sidewindercomputers.com” in my last page of the review as they were my main store for parts source with exceptional customer service and quality of products.

and if so hows it going.

Here is the link to my custom built 900GPH water cooling setup. Not the one I did the review on but I did buy most of the parts from sidewindercomputers.

Now its sort of funny because a few months ago I had more than 10 people which rated this case, and now its only showing 1 person? I wonder why? This was the case which I submitted into CPU Magazine to win $1,500 to shop at newegg.com along with having the case featured in the magazine. The problem was I rushed it to make it in on time. I wanted to air brush it with at least 10 to 15 different game pictures along with fixing the front of the case so it looked a little more pleasing. Anyway we learn from our mistakes lol

Still testing my max. K9A2 still taking abuse!

 

[exodusprime1337]

what exactly are you using for cooling... i'm trying to put together an inexpensive yet effective watercooling kit myself for my 940... i can post and bench at 4Ghz it's just toooo hott!!!!

 

[johnnyfiive]

I'm using a Swiftech 3x120 Quiet Power (Reservoir model) radiator, D-Tek Fuzion 2 CPU block, D-Tek DB-1 pump (realllllly quiet btw), 1/2 inch fittings, 7/16 inch inner diameter / 5/8 inch outter diameter tubing. Cools really well. My limitation could be a couple things. My motherboard (I have no NB multiplier option) or my memory. I have to overclock by playing with the bus speed only since I have a 920.

 

[exodusprime1337]

ic ic.. hate to ask, but could you link me some places i could pick up that stuff cheap or at least not to expensive.. i'd love to set up a water cooling kit

 

[johnnyfiive]

I got everything from www.sidewindercomputers.com. Awesome place! Very fast shipping for being in Indiana. I got all of my stuff in 3 days (I'm in AZ).

Incase your wondering how my setup looks, here are a couple pics I JUST took.

the black 100mm fan is positioned to cool the memory, thats why its angled kinda wierd.

 

[exodusprime1337]

i was thinking a 2x120 mm rad?? would that be ok or no??

 

[johnnyfiive]

I think a 2x120 would be perfectly fine. I plan to water cool the GPU in a month or so thats the reason I went with the 3x120.

 

[exodusprime1337]

sweet. water cooling hear i come, give me a week lol

 

[exodusprime1337]

what's the load temp on that setup? i think i'm gonna order the same stuff but get a res with it.

 

[johnnyfiive]

It really depends on the voltage your using. Right now I'm testing 100% stability at vcore 1.51v and NB at 1.325v and my full load temp is 47c.

 

[Chicken Patty]

that looks great johnnyfiive!!

 

[bleuphlamez]

i would like to join p2 overclockers club . how would i go about doing it

 

[cdawall]

johnny you might want to cool the mosfets a little better on that mobo i came close to melting them on my 9500.

Guys that want to watercool, you may want to consider the SCYTHE UltraKaze 120mm fans.
DFS123812H-3000 Model #
3000 RPM
133.60 CFM
45.90 dBA
12V / 0.60A

These nice fans run a lot more quiet compared to others for its performance and they are made for hooking up on RAD's for watercooling. They have awesome air pressure.

[ShadowFold]

Xigmatek's fans with the orange blades have white LED's.
