KuriousOne Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Greetings boinker, I just purchased my new rig recently and I have the exact same full ATX casing and I've been looking to invest in integrating a WC setup in my rig. Pardon my lack of knowledge for WC or rather ZERO knowledge for WC, but I was wondering if you could help me out on the advised parts to purchase and how to go about assembling. I will also refer to the tutorials to get a general outline of the assembly. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 When I get the opertunity to post a modders log about this case and its trials ill send you a pm. I just got it running again dispite all odds. so I now have my water cooling set-up "closer" to the way I want it. less the bio build-up.

Bio build up, I suppose we would refer to that as bacteria build up due to moisture? Right now I've found a 2 in 1 water block for my MOBO which covers pretty much the north and south bridge, tubing wise, of its type, I believe only you can give the best advice. Once again thanks for the reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again thanks for the reply. No offense, but I highly doubt the bio build up in Boniker's loop was due to moisture. More than likely, it was a contamination of some sorts along with the distilled water. This can be prevented with the use of a biocide in conjunction with distilled water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biocide to kill bacteria, don't think they have any of those here, well WC solutions isn't very popular where I come from =(. That aside... I believe we are able to use other coolants other than distilled water? I'm not too sure on this one, but I read through a couple of articles, seems they have come up with special solutions for the runs in these WC setups.

I will also refer to the tutorials to get a general outline of the assembly. Thanks in advance. i asked basically the same thing when i was starting my WC setup. this is what xchrissypoox posted on my thread it should help u learn the fundamentals about it where to buy: http://www.performance-pcs.com/ http://www.petrastechshop.com/ http://www.frozencpu.com/ what to buy (it doesn't have xspc RX series listed but they're the same as Feser TFC X-Changer and thermochill PA rads and is cheaper then them (note only the RX series by xspc): http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/show...ad.php?t=282232 How to Watercool: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=4596 Very basic diagram of how to set up a loop, not the only way obviously: http://extreme.outervision.com/flowdesigner.jsp the t-line or the reservoir always comes before the pump in order to prevent the pump from running dry. Ps. i got my rad and fans today. no pump yet its out-stock !!!! shipping was 2 days with ncix. amazingly fast for across the country.

Boinker Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Well I will hand it too you Insane that was a great post but All I can think of right now is the south park episode where everyone is Screaming "HEee TuooK Yeer JOB". Rofl j/k Dispite my need for sleep sense this lil Mod project has taken up much of my time... im going to get a work log together and show you guys what I changed in the case and how the set-up differs and is possibly better..

Well imma be on the look out for that work log Boinker, mad respects =) Waiting for my 5970 to arrive next week, hopefully i'd be able to order WC parts this weekend, OR i could always ask santa hehe "jokes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Hey I need some opinions. Im debating on weather to get another radiator into the Loop over the next couple of weekends to Throw a second radiator behind the waterblock to cool it down and be there until I can afford a GTX 285 to Shove a waterblock in. The water-cooling will only cool the GPU proc itself and the mem-mosfets will be cooled with passive Air cooling. let me know what you guys think.
