Gr4vitas Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Alright I'm addicted to OC'ing, recently I was able to reach 3.9ghz on my air setup and I want more! So time for water! Anyway I need some advice on what to buy, I've never looked into water cooling so I don't really know whats quality and whats not. Right now I just want to cool my CPU. The only thing I really know is that DD is a good company to buy my CPU block from but I don't know which block to buy, or pumps, tubing, rad, and res. Anyway if anyone has some advice on what to get. And I don't have a budget, obviously I want the best bang for the buck but it doesn't matter how much I spend. Edit: And I want all 1/2'' ID fittings and tubing Edited March 23, 2008 by Gr4vitas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: And I want all 1/2'' ID fittings and tubing buy the D-tek Fuzion or the Swiftech apogee GTX waterbolck, those are a bit better than the DD blocks. get the liang D5 pump (aka. DD-D5, swiftech mcp55) any res would work, the EK multi-option res' are nice but hard to find at a decent price. and for the rad(s) either2x120 or 3x120 I have one of both and it's optimal. good luck man and remember 24Hour leak test!

gotdamojo06 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 yeah do not forget the leak test and when you are putting it together, I had all my stuff in there so that I could figure out where the tubing needed to go and so I could cut it to exact length. take your time doing it and placing everything.

Alright I'll look into those pumps, what about tubing, is there anything specific I should use? Edit: Where would be the best online store to order all my liquid stuff from? (US) Edit2: Wow the D5 pump isn't cheap almost $100 just for a pump? Edited March 23, 2008 by Gr4vitas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeter_acres Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 just remember.... water gives you more stable temps much quieter it NEVER promises higher overclocks.... while many times you get better ones, it isn't a promise I have the Laing D5, Fuzion block, Pontiac Boneville heater core with a homemade shroud and twin 120mm fans (all fans in case are wired to a controller and usually kept at low...very quiet) reservoir is homemade with PVC pipe (guide is in the guide section).....

road-runner Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 What about this setup? http://www.petrastechshop.com/pecoba.html I have that kit, the pump is ok, not as strong as the other kit. The CPU block is not near as good as the fuzion. I am running the same kit on a Quad and I switched out the cpu block to a fuzion, temps dropped 4 or 5c...
