Watercooling

edited June 2004 in Hardware
I just started looking around trying to find a good watercooling system. I went over to a site and found that Koolance makes one-other than that I have no other sources to look at cause I know nothing of watercooling. What im looking for is a system that will give me the best performance in cooling possible. I talked to a friend and he said the best possible way to get the system thats best is to piece it together,well as mentioned I have no clue as to what specific parts or what companies to use.

    Sup Ben, Ur in the same boat as me. New to WCing I went with the Zalman reserator since its an All in one setup that doesnt suck.

    Interesting. Whats the deal with three inlet/exhausts instead of two? they may have had a lengthy detailed overview on the theory and application on another page but all I saw was a short blurb with a couple bullet points.

    Inlet in the middle with two exits I assume? Whats the killer r5adiator setup these days.

    Hows that Reserator working out. I read 3 different reviews on it and they all said it sucked big time. Of course they were hard core watercooling sites so if it didn't run -27 of course it would suck. I just was wondering cause Florida in summer is a bit warm so the thermal gradient's gonna be a bit flat. I tend to not listen to reviews unless I get an independent eval. They just make a good starting place when looking.

    I went with the Koolance - AL cause it was all in one, quiet, no leaking, and very effecient. All the reviews were surprised at how cool it ran considering it only has 3/8" lines. I can tell you it keeps my 3.0Ghz Prescott overclocked to 3.4 running at 29C idle with a room temp of 24C. 48C (34C water temp) at full load on the bridge thermocouple. Considering it was idling at 49C on the Aero4+ it is quite an improvement. Plus it is so quiet I can hear all my hard drive heads bouncing about. It's been so long since I heard that I forgot they do make noise :)

    that no good, unless you have good airflow in ur house. i dont understand this hole no fan radiator thing. you need fans to move enough air across it to dissipate heat. all reviews i read on these things say they arent worth it.

    Glad to hear it's doing what you wanted it to do.
