oh teh noes needs waterblock helps!!!! :-)

[armadilloben]

does anyone know of any waterblocks for the 7600gt i cant find any that support any less than the 6800s and the 7800's also if it helps the mounting on the cooling block for my 7600 is in a square formation about an inch and 3/4 of an inch apart im pretty sure its standard

im actaully in the position to wc right now but if there is no block that supports the 7600 i may not

also does anyone know if theres a block for the 590 chipset?

[armadilloben]

anyone no the answer to this?

on board chipsets are usually universal so just look for a nvidia chipset it is nvidia right? MCW30 (http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw30.asp) Its universal for chipsets :)

Because the 7600GT isn't a high-end card there wont be many waterblock for it although the Swiftech MCW60 (http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw60-R.asp) seems to support most 7600GTs Look here for compatibility (http://www.swiftnets.com/products/NVIDIA%20COMPATIBILITY.asp)

a chipset bloack would probably work for the 590, and I imagine that a lot of video card blocks that support the 7900 (gpu only) would work on the 7600

heres the loop

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/1686/wcdesignqs3.jpg

alright so heres the plan

well firstly im using clear flex 3/4" od and 1/2 id tubing
a black ice pro 2 with 2 delta 120mm 150cfm fans with a radbox attached to my 80mm rear case fan externally it has 1/2"id barbs
a koolance cpu block with 1/2" compression fittings
a 5.25" bay pump/res with 1/2" compression fittings


feser 1 noncunductive uv reactive coolant
does anyone know if there is anything better than this i saw a video of a running fan submerged in the stuff it basically sold me

anything else im overlooking that i should no

product changes?

advice

thanks

does anyone know of wc equipment for cheaper?

[Spawn-Inc]

STOP! go with jabtech for as much as you can. they have cheaper prices, but not as much selection. if you can find all that there on jabtech i would go there.

what cpu do you have again?

i would nix the koolence block for a apogee GT and nix the black ice rad for a swiftech MCR220, also i would use distilled water and some uv dye if you want it coloured, bleach or iodine for a biocide.

if you have to go with this kit (http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-H20-120-Premium-CPU-Cooling-Kit-With-Apogee-GT-pr-3644.html), it will be cheaper and perform a bit better imo.

or spend a little bit more and you can later add a chipset and gpu block with this kit (http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-Apex-Ultra-H20-220-With-Apogee-GT-pr-3198.html).

NOTE: the kits listed are good kits as they are made from individually sold parts.

Woah Spawn, +rep for Jab-Tech! I might be finishing off my WC loop there!

[armadilloben]

jab tech seems like a very good and cheep store thanks ill look into it thanks

problem is that i donth ave the money to spend more then about 250 and i need to sleave the wires especially the because its in an acrylic case they look disgusting right now


also i have an amd brisbane 1.8ghz 3600 stock oc'd to 2.3 also the bay res is very important to me i just really like the way it works and looks
maybe im just stupid


i know that the swiftech apex ultra h20-220 with apogee gt is a great kit but i dont have the room for that pump and i dont love the micro res

whoa jus realized jab tech has really sick stuff

im holding off my order until tonight maybe monday night

also one of the things im going for with th koolane cpu block is that i can actually see the water running thru it

with the apogee you cant

i know it has signifigantly better cooling abilities


thanks guys

Ya, I haven't looked at that pump/res setup to see what hardware is in it, but you generally want to shy away from those pump/res combos.

Go with a swiftech mcp350 or a similar Dangerden/laing pump if you want low profile.

Or if you want a little more oomph go with the mcp655 or equivalent pump.

I don't really think your going to be happy with the performance of that kind of pump/res setup. Especially for the money your dropping on it.

Just my $.02

I have the Swiftech MCP655 and its great. Also I would recommend a block different than the Koolance. Don't those have a pretty small inlet/outlet diameter?

[armadilloben]

according to ppcs and koolance websit this thing thas 300watt cooling capabilities and has 1/2inch compression barbs so i dont need an adapter

[.Maleficus.]

If I were you, I'd look at DD blocks, or EK blocks. I have a DD TDX, and though I haven't used it yet, it is supposed to be a good performer, and looks cool with the clear top (I have put my blue coolant through it, and it looks neat :D). As for EK, I'll probably be buying an EK full cover block when I get my 8800GT, because Newegg hasn't had the MCW60 in stock for like, 3 months :D.

[armadilloben]

well the pump head is about 4 feet which seems to me about enough


ps i just took some measurements of my cases length and its only about about 1 and a half feet long so i doubt ill have a problem
besides i can eventually upgrade my pump and use it as a secondary extra "boost" pump and put d5 in the 3.5" bays but i dont have the money for that


well i got another 75 bucks in amex gift cards whichs brings me to 175
but i also got a best buy gift card and i dont wanna use that so im gonna see if my dad will by it from me
also i got a 15 itunes card which my sister said shed by from me so that would bring me 265 if my mom lets me


gnight guys
