    The WC Thread: You got questions, we got answers!

    condensation...... could wrap it with neoprene though... don't really know if the temp in the coolant would get low enough to cause condensation.... think dehumidifier.... supposedly the cray supercomputers usie stainless tubing...

    More Thermaltake Subzero probs

    Well here is the latest on why not to buy a subzero from thermaltake.... before I get started, the best part is that you will have a relatively quiet system (at least until the side covers come off the case cause it gets too hot).. Hmm thats about the only benefit - oh yeah - runs nice and...

    New to Water cooling, pump choices

    Thats pretty sweet! I shelled out some cash for some nice Corsair DDR 550 XMS4400 ram but so far haven't been able to take advantage of its power... I am going to do a little bit of tinkering in the upcoming weeks to see what I can do with a better fan on the CPU unit I'm using now...

    Rheostat on Tornado

    Hey, Its been a long time since my physics courses in school ... I forgot how the rheostat works.. Its basically a variable resistor but its not hooked in series to vary voltage??? Refresh my memory please, I seem to have forgotten. And its just Ohm's law to calculate the Wattage on...

    Rheostat on Tornado

    Why don't you put a waterblock on the rheo!>!>!>?! (Sorry I just couldn't resist!!!) I too was thinking the same thing...It seems to have great flow but damn loud. Too much wattage to run through a Rheo.. What about a Dimmer Switch for an overhead lighting system??? The dining room...

    New to Water cooling, pump choices

    WOW!! Well I was starting to reconsider watercooling...UNTIL I read that!!! What CPU do you have?? I too have the northwood stock is 3.2GHz. My Idle temps usig the Subzero TEC are around 30'C (ambient temp roughly 72'F). At "LOAD" I hit 76'C, but it dropped to 63'C when I removed the...

    New to Water cooling, pump choices

    What CPU are you running?? I am seriously thinking about switching to a watercooling system, but I haven't totally commited to it .... yet. The primary reason was that at 100% load I was getting awfully high temps for sustained periods... up to 76'C. I was able to lower that to 63'C by...

    Heater core?

    I know this is going to sound stupid but here goes... Anyone ever consider a 3 core crossflow automotive radiator with a full sized room fan attached to the shroud (yeah it would be BIG) You could even hook up the automatic trans fluid circuit to a separate cooling circuit to improve...

    New to Water cooling, pump choices

    Hiya Sorta new to the Forum and have read the thread here.... I was wondering Krazy Joe, How the WC rig is working?? I was thinking about using the same CPU block and had some of the same questions (tubing size, pump selection, radiator selection). Here is my mission: Like to do...

    Paralell Pump And Radiator Circuits

    Question for all. Has anyone tried using a paralell circuit with dual pumps and radiators in paralell??? Just curious what effect it would have on overall system dynamics and possible increases in cooling efficiency CPU --> ---Split---- Pump ---- Radiator ---- >...

    ThermalRightXP120 on Asus P4C800E-eluxe

    The thermalright website says that this MOBO may require slight Capacitor tilting to fit -user do this at their own risk... Has anyone out there with an ASU P4C800E installed a XP120??? Have you had problems with the caps?? interloper

    Simple Question - Difficult Solution

    Hi all I am somewhat new to OC'ing but am a scientist at heart and by degree. When I built my last system I wanted the fastest processor available but this week I finally realized that the damn thing can reach 76'C with no overclocking and what I thought was more than conservative...

    The WC Thread: You got questions, we got answers!

    Question about the water temperature. Does anyone monitor the temp of the water in the system and if so how hot does it run? Does it matter in the overall effectiveness of the cooling? Are there any condensation issues? especially on the metal blocks.. Anyone tried putting icecubes in...

    P4C800-E Overclocking Mystery.

    What components are you runnning (Or were you running) when you were stable at 3.8 ? That was with the stock cooling fan??

    Pentium 3.2 + TT Subzero4G way too hot

    Know of any nice reviews of the sp94?? It looks good. I'd be curious how much Overclocking I could expect if I put a Tornado running wide open on top of it.. Anyone have experience with the 120mm Thermalright HS not fitting in their case? Thanks for the input.

    CPU running super HOT!!

    Hi New to the forums here. Basically got really scared this morning when I came to see how my video transcoding project was doing. I turned it one before I went to bed. When I got up the ASUSProbe (monitors temp etc) was open and the CPU temp was (and I just double checked the log..)...

    Pentium 3.2 + TT Subzero4G way too hot

    Hey All.. New to this forum.. Was doing some Video transcoding and noticed my AsusProbe temp monitor popped open with a reported CPU temp of 75 degrees C - I had left it running overnight and came to check in the morning!! Sure enough between 73 and 75 degrees C all night long. I popped...
