new watercooling setup.

[Pitbull3]

After reading reviews and tutorials off here, I'm going to order these items.

 

If any1 has any other thought or upgrades, tell me, all of this is going inside my HAF 932

CPU Block - Go for the Apogee XT, it's better.

Radiator - That is a 3/8" ID radiator, you'll want 1/2" ID with 3/4" OD

This radiator work?

I didn't see the Tube size

[El_Capitan]

Yup, that should work.

[Pitbull3]

Thanks for the help.

i 2nd the apogee xt. as i have one and love it.

 

could you post back with temperature results please. i'm interested in seeing how that pump behaves with just the cpu block in the loop because i have the same pump but with 3 other motherboard blocks and it barely moves the water at all.

I have a Liang D5 and have no problems with water movement in my cpu-only loop! With my i7 930 @ 4.3+GHz my temps are in the low 70's full load. But, that is a great pump and I wouldn't think you shld have any issues even with mobo blocks on ur chipsets! Have you checked the flow rating for your chipset blocks? Just curious what blocks are you using?

 

Also Pitbull, just in case you don't know, res size makes no difference on performance in a WC loop! I say this because that res is HUGE, 400mm = almost 16in, and was wondering if you already have a good place to mount it in your HAF 932? You could go to a smaller res and it won't affect your temps at all. I use a Koolance 120mm res, which is plenty big enough for me! And you could save a bunch of cash

 

Also, you can't forget the PT Nuke, w/o a biocide you will have some friends living in your loop

well I didn't know if it would affect the heat exchange in the water through the pump if there was more water

Nope You can use whatever sized res you want and it won't affect performance

apogee xt

and then ek blocks for the chipset/mosfet/pwm

 

motherboard is an asus maximus formula x38

 

i'm using a swiftech 220 stackable rad.

 

 

i haven't checked the flow rating. i honestly have been wondering whether or not my pump is broken. i bought it used and it never pumped well. water is literally almost stagnant. i think i'm moving more water from convection than the pump lol. the pump is definitely vibrating though. possibly the propeller is broken but the shaft is still spinning?

[iskout]

That's more likely. I'm running the 655 and it moves my water just fine, though I only have a CPU block-- E8400@ 3.6 34c idle 47c load.
