i don't have much to say regarding the rest of your post, however that last item is a fan bus plain and simple. it's a way to run a variety of fans if you don't want to run them off of MOBO headers or separate PSU lines. if it fits your build well: great. for myself, i'm working on making...

yeah, i got it to work this time around. the MSI card that i originally purchased was a nightmare. i ended up exchanging it. this sapphire 4890 installed nice and easy. not a lot of OC headroom, unfortunately, but at least it works right. hopefully it'll clock better after i put some more...

i'm pretty sure that you can, pending the advice of someone who actually owns one. so far as i recall, swiftech bundles their WC kits with delta 38mm thick fans, and so the radbox should be packaged with the hardware to reflect that. not to put too fine a point on it, though, screws are pretty...

yeah, that's a decent rad at a good price. and specifically the '77 pontiac bonneville heatercore is a good fit for 2 120mm fans. i forget if it's the one with or without A/C that you want, though. :P .......back in the day......jeez......make a guy feel old.......

don't worry yourself too much about it, since i was running a peltier rig and had a failure that could only occur in a peltier rig, but i was running 1/2" barbs in 1/2" ID tubing. power flickered, the computer and fans shut off, but the peltiers and pump didn't.........the water boiled from the...

well, if you're going with a triple rad and yateloon fans, you have a really high potential for very low noise operation, with good temps. there are plenty of factors in the mix, but you might want to consider the option of getting one MCP355 now, with the potential for getting a second at some...

three 120mm fans/rads is lots of cooling power, and the MCP-350 has gobs of head pressure: it's not going to bog down. be great if you could add a second MCP-350 in-line down the road, but it'll work as you've described you system.

i'm wondering if anybody has mounted a MCW 60 block on a radeon 4890 card? hole to hole spacing is good, back plate fits, but the core doesn't seem to mate onto the face of the block terribly well. it's not leaving an even application of thermal compound when i test-mount the block and take...

i have had a black ice rad repaired at a rad shop before. it cost a bit, but they fixed it quick and easy.

my sig needs a massive update, but........ last weekend i LANed with a friend of mine at his place using my watercooled system without any issues transporting it. i disconnected things as per usual with a PC, carried it to the car under my arm, buckled it into a passenger seat to keep it...

so far as explaining it goes: i'm seeing a zalman sandwich. think of it as one zalman 7000 cooler directly cooling the proc, and a second cooling some heatpipes attached to the proc. the fan most likely blows towards the motherboard, to get the most out of the heatpipes up top. no reason that...

dealing with the heat of even an 80W with air is tricky and/or loud. unless you can keep the hot side at a reasonable temp, the best that the pelt will do is keep your drink from warming up as fast. most likely candidate is an 80W 12V pelt. considerations: powering the thing is not...

@Borgschulze: are you selling that MCP 600 i seem to remember you using?

bigfoot is pretty good to deal with for watercooling gear. if nothing else, they usually ship fast. tygon is pricey, but the clearflex 60 that i have tried is nowhere near as nice to work with. i avoid importing from the US whenever possible. even if there are no serios duties (they have...

this stuff has some anti-microbials in it, as does hydrx. honestly, about the only reason to use hydryx in preference to any of the others available is that swiftech warrenty requires it for their gear.......not that it should make any real difference.
