green-man Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 If you're going to get rid of the CPU WB and tubing in the kit I'd just try to ger the parts individually. The LAING D5 (Swiftech DD12V-D5 on Vadim's site) is the exact same pump. You might consider a fillport instead of a resevoir; I have the same res in my rig and I've found that a fillport would have been easier (since I ended up mounting the res externally:sad:). You don't really need the mount unless you want the rad external and the Innovatec mount kit would work just fine. I'd go with the DangerDen perfectseal connectors instead; they came with my rads and work extremely well. If you can get plastic snap-clips instead that would be easier to work with and faster to install; especially since Thraxz has pointed out that the jubilees can easily cut the tubing u posted before id finished my last post. i did think about buying seperate bits but in the end its a very simular price & would mean i'd hav to buy off different places, so extra delivery charges too. it is my first build. so i thought with the swift's mounting bracket it would just be that bit less work. also i was & am still thinking about a fill & drain port but again its my first build and maybe im just being a bit seafood but seem a bit of a mission. im not totally incapeable dont get me wrong, i do know basic automotive machanics, ie engine watercooling. but with cars u dont hav to worry about h2o on £400 gpu's etc. i was also thinking about the metal hose connectors with the jubilee clips, so i dont hav to worry about over tightening, which im pritty good at:rolleyes: and also i thought it would mean less mantainence over all. regards green Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-man Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Can't go wrong with the tygon. Two rads won't hurt, and will cut down on the temps. In the future, I am going to be running two seperate loops with two 240mm rads. Good luck! i thought it looked pritty sweet to. hopefully it will be pritty strong so i dont hav to worry about what radodrill just said, the jubilee clips pinching thing. what do eney of u lot reckon, i could just replace the tubing when i next hav to re-install?? i also think i'll need the extra rad as my c2d gets f**king hot when i o/c over 3.4-3.5Ghz, and i atcually whan to be running at about 3.6 24/7. my e6600 drinks voltage like a british larger lout at those speeds. like 1.6 odd volts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Tygon tubing is the top of the line. I definately agree with using the Storm; Mine works very well. On Air my CPU load temps were ~60C @3.76GHz; Now they are down to 38C @3.87GHz. I'm hoping to clock her even further this Christmas break.

I want to drop my temps futher, and as such, I am going with another 240mm rad, and possibly another pump as well. I must get all this unused space filled up in the case!!

You could even try putting several layers of teflon tape around the tubing (or electrical tape) before putting on the clamps. Just rememder not to overtighten the jubilees as they'll easily cut into the tubing, which can result in leaks. If you can get plastic snap clamps like these in the UK (maybe a hardware/plumbing store) I think they'd work better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may replace my el-cheapo 80mm (~28dB) fans with lower-noise models as they're the loudest items in my case. These temps are W/ an 80x2 and an 80x1 rad; so the Storm and MCW60 are doing a superb job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-man Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 both ure rig seem . hot to, buy what ure both saying im going to love my h2o rig. i cant wait naw. radodrill ure piture in ure sig looks sweet. hope i can get mine looking as good as that. alot of u guys who've posted apart from radodrill seem to still be on amd's. i propper loved my old opty144 so im not trying to diss. but dont be loyal to amd theyre chip are naw second rate, if u get the dosh get a c2d. trust me u wont look back. amd's are still a very good option thought as the price's are so cheep, but if ure gonna go amd2/ddr2 for that money c2d's are the only way 2 go.i'd rather give my money to amd eney way as intel can be arseholes, so when amd are back in fount i'll go back again no probs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the 4800 for quite a while now, and really don't plan/need to upgrade anything that is in my sig. My computer is plenty fast enough to play any game I have thrown at it, and it encodes video very fast. Sure the c2d is faster, but it's not worth it for me to tear all my very good components apart to buy. I am waiting for ddr3 to come along, and then I may upgrade. I think this computer will be just great though, for many a days to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then hopefully AMD will have something out that will destroy Intel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I built this rig I hadn't really heard much about AMD so I went with Intel. I don't absolutely need a faster rig ATM; but when I do I'll go with whatever performs the best be it AMD or Intel.

Nightshadow Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Here are a couple pics of mine (before the storm upgrade) to give you an idea of how well the tubing takes to bends. This tubing is clearflex60. It has seemed to cloud up a bit, but it bends very well without kinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
