Pent uP Rage Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) Since he has a 3.0GHz P4, he might need the NB cooling to get to 4GHz. If he only wants to get to like 3.7 or 3.8, then air cooling the NB will be fine. But why go for 3.8 when with a little cooling, he can get to 4GHz? Nah, I hit 4Ghz with stock cooling on the NB. But the ABIT comes with a big fat NB HSF on it. If that 3.0 is gonna hit 4Gs, it's all about the cpu (and RAM)no matter what you do to the NB. It may help STABILITY @ 4Ghz. But, I don't think it would help net any more than a few clocks, if any. Edited February 2, 2005 by Pent uP Rage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffles Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 thanx for all the nb advice but i still want a block on it cos im tryng to keep fans to a minimum+ my abit 1 whines. so, so far ive been reccommended an asetek waterchill kit. would i be better off getting a custom setup? and what should i get if thats the case?

The_WRATH Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 all those kits have one thing in common...high price :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pent uP Rage Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) You could piece together a decent custom setup for what the kits cost...or less. And I TOTALLY understand about wanting to replace the ABIT NB cooler. Mine's kinda loud too. But, if you're just worried about temps, take it off, lap it, and replace w/ AS5.

The_WRATH Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 yeah i replaced my gigabyte mobo with a better 40mm, took off that crappy cream and added some fine AS5, thats as far as im going towards upgrading the nb cooler and depending on your kit you might even add heat when adding the additional nb block Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffles Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 ok, so the consensus seems to be go 4 a custom setup, and it is worth getting a nb cooler, does any1 know if this pump is alright? c systems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_WRATH Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 maybe if the kit comes with a nb block already then yes.. ask then how much pressure the pump can dish out because it doesnt show the gph, or how high the pump can push water, but id go with one of those ehiem or the hydor pump good dc pumps if you ask me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pent uP Rage Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 (edited) I found a performance chart for these pumps. Theyre not great pumps, but you can plump them in series. And they look pretty cool plumbed together. So, if you go for this pump....get 2. I'd recommend bigger fittings though.

The_WRATH Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 gj Pent if he has to get 2, then its better off he get 1 thats good enought for the system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
