sticknstone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Run the card stock for a period of time to ensure the card is not defective. Once the stock cooler comes off the warranty is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I've actually decided to not get the GTX580. I miraculously got my old 5970 to work , the Accelero was the problem . Now I plan to wc with the same parts listed earlier just with a 5970 waterblock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 All the water blocks reach up to the back end voltage chips, only the back end of the card is left uncooled. I would mod a fan on the card somehow. Technically speaking a question I have is how much heat is generated by the back end. Can passive heat solution be adequate?

sticknstone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Can you make a drawing of how each component will connect? This will help you to visualize the part connections and tell you how many fittings or clamps to get. Use a line drawing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Ok I attached a pic of what it will look like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Based on the images the danger den is a solid choice. They have cut away at the edges to make the block lighter. Other blocks are a simple rectangle. Note: The evercool blower will bring air in the pc. Do you realize the pump chosen is not the laing d5? Will the swifttech fit in the dual bay?

I will not get the blower , I have enough air coming inot my pc .

sticknstone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Looking at the diagram of the setup and estimating a 24" length between each component, 3 hose runs x 24 is 72" or 6'. If the estimate is saying 6' then order 7' to allow for estimate error. If the length was actually measured the you would know exactly how much hose to order. 6 fittings and clamps are required. Tip for hose installation, use wire as a mock run between components to ensure the lenth of that hose run before you actually cut the hose. Measure length twice and cut only once.

sticknstone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) I do not think the pump is the correct choice because of the performancepc website photo shows the image of the pump installed and the inlet is positioned to the top of the res, while the photo from dangerden shows the inlet directly 90 degrees from the outlet. Check this out http://www.xspc.biz/d5tankres.php. Everywhere I search states the pump is correct.
