The Red Beast
The Story
Well here goes, i am Pretty new to Watercooling, well i say that i am very new to successful water cooling had many problems in the past costing me ?100's of pounds in replacment parts! BUT i have reached what is the limit with Air Cooling with what was ment to be one of the best CPU Coolers on the market i was still getting shit over clock temps so i decided to upgrade....
The PC:
The Spec of the PC is pretty much in my opinion one of the Best specs on the market atm,
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme (Quad) QX9650 3ghz
RAM: Currently have 4gb of OCZ Reaper X 1000mhz (BUT have 8gb of Coursair Dominator RAM)
Mother Board: EVGA 680i SLI (But i have a 780i on the way once i send it off for RMA)
Graphics: 3x EVGA Geforce GTX280's
Hard Disk: 2x Samsung F1 1tb Hard Disks
Aditions: LG BlueRay Reader / Writer
its not bad, gets pretty high scores in 3D Marks so cant complain!
The Water Cooling
Origionally i decided to get a premade kit from WatercoolingUK.com but decided aginst it as there were a few things in it i didnt like so Modified the order (Thanks WaterCoolingUK for allwoing me to do it)
The CPU Block: EK Suprime (Plexi)
Case: Coolermaster Cosmos-S
Pump: 12V Laing DDC-1T Plus Ultra w/Alphacool Top
Fans: 3x Xilence Pro Fan 120TR 1400RPM 120mm - LED Red
Radiator: Black Ice GT Stealth 360
Resivrior: XSPC Dual Eye Ball Bay Reservoir - Black
Piping: 1/2" Clear High Flex Hose (XSPC) (With UV Red Coils)
Barbs: 1/2" Barbs
Coolent: PrimoChill ICE Non-Conductive Coolant (32 oz.) - UV Red x2
First of all, i was very supprised when i got it through with the lack of amount of work i actually have to do to get it up and running. this is because most of the stuff comes premade or just needs a Barb adding to it! and it was quite bliss to put together!
i put the system together and filled it within 3 hours (where i took time over making it) and ran the system for another 3 hours to check for leaks, after being 100% satisfied that there would be no leaks i installed the system to my computer! this was not as easy as i had thought it would have been tho but eventaully it got done...
Results
I am very pleased with the results of the water cooling system i am currently running @ 4ghz and the CPU is constantly hovering at arround 28oC and only goes up to about 35oC which in my opinion is a good result...
will post some pictures when i can find my Camera!
i would like to thank Lloyd and smAsh for all the help they have given me via MSN and IRC
