Numanoif Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Everything will be in 1/2" flavor: 12V DD-D5 Pump The Danger Den SLI Kit Solution using two (2) Acetal MAZE4GPU (with RAMsinks) Swiftech Apogee CPU water block X-Flow Black Ice Xtreme III (I plan on having this outside the case. I could use advice on fans) Tygon tubing, clamps, fillport reservoir, fillport, T line, and syringe. I'll also want to upgrade my case's 80mm fans to ensure I have a solid flow through the system. I could use some advice here as well. I currently don't know how I am going to route the tubing to the radiator. As far as the fans go, I'd like to keep costs down here but without sacrificing too much performance. I'm not too worried about noise, especially on the 80mm internal fans. Thanks in advance!

UncleDavid218 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 For fans, get any kind of Papst fans (if you can find them) They're real nice and push ALOT of air These are the ones I have. I paid a lot more for them though! Also, why not get a Danger Den TDX? You can get the TDX + D5 combo for $108 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll have do a little searching for reviews/tests on the TDX. I'd love to see a shootout between the Apogee (extreme?) and the TDX.

UncleDavid218 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Well if it's any consolation everybody here uses the TDX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numanoif Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Well if it's any consolation everybody here uses the TDX It is, actually. This community has yet to steer me the wrong way. Those fans look perfect for my needs. Killer price and 67CFM! How loud are they? I see the 32db and see that it's louder than many out there, but how loud is 32db in real life?

UncleDavid218 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I'm not sure singularly, but with all three of them going, two case fans and a PSU fan, a little on the loud side but not unbearable by any means (My computer is on 24/7 in my room) That being said, I'm getting a fan controller. I'm used to completely silent PCs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntcircuit Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 These fans might interest you. I have them, they are quiet, and they push a LOT of air. I think they were only about 10-12 bucks, quite a bargain. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/DCfa...a2368/a2368.asp Cheers!

CPDMF Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I used to run a TDX not too long but have recently switched to a Cooltechnica MP-05 Pro and saw a fairly nice temp drop of 2 degrees load. Not a bunch but nothing else in the bios changed and the CMOS wasn't cleared. I haven't tested the Apogee on my own stuff so I really can't say much but from I have read and heard from trusted people is the apogee is the better performer. The other thing that the TDX lacks is support for changing platforms without spending more money,which isn't the case for most blocks on the market..

Booster Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 The only advantage I see with the Apogee over the TDX and even Storm is the pins and surface of the copper is huge, it covers the entire IHS on the A64 which sounds like a plus and it doesn't have a lot of backpressure. While the TDX and Storm looks like they will peform a lot better if they were mounted right over the die since they positioned in the inlet right over the center. I personally wanted the Apogee but I got a package deal with the Storm. But the TDX package deals over at DD make the price nice. BTW search this forums for the DD discount code to make the prices even better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Actually the discount code no longer works It was PAGLAN06 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
