Crash_Dummy's WaterCooling #2 (0 Comments) (link)
 Monday, 18-June-2001  02:21:37 (GMT +10) - by Agg

Crash_Dummy sent in some more pics & info on his watercooling project..

As i promised i got my watercooled rig up and running in a experimental stage. Just testing the waterblock. As before, Duron 800 @ 1000 1.9v on a volt modded Abit KT7 RAID

The top of the waterblock has been changed this time. It's bigger, The threads for the fittings were tapped this time, and i'm no longer using two peices of perspex, I'm using the one peice now as the waterblocks top and hold down, The back plate for the block (behind the cpu) has been cut into two small strips. The actual cooling setup, Well. There isn't one really at the moment. I'm only testing the block and haven't got anymore hose so i can't run a radiator inline with the water supply. Cooling and pumping is supply via a 2000l/h powerhead (Atman brand) in a lovely pretty blue bucket :)
Quiet frankly. I'm at a stange where i'm just beyond pissed off with this pump though, I can't put it in any containers. It's just too big. And the 2 containers i did put it in just split and pissed everywhere. It doesn't matter though, I'll figure out something.
The goal of this system is pure quiet. I've got much MUCH quiet and cooling with this setup right now. As a matter of a fact, The most noisey fan in the computer is the bloody northbridge fan. I'm pretty sure i can run it without the fan now though, I replaced the standard northbridge heatsink with the standard heatsink off my Hercules Prophet II MX.
