LuGie Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm not the only geek on here with water cooled comp. Nice setup, how was the step from a 120 rad to a 220? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90G60 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Should have went with the twelve hundred. I liked the nine hundred, but since the twelve came out I think I am going to go that route. Nice setup though. I have always thought about going the water cooling route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Nice case! Although I'm sad that you god rid of an antec. Oh well, coolermasters are great cases too. I have a antec p182 my self. Love it. Heavy as hell though. Big power supply and 4x hard drives (raid 10 yay!) dont help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadz89GTA Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 http://www.ocforums.com If your making a real rig get an Intel, sorry for all the AMD Fanboys as I was once one myself, but my q6600 at 3.6ghz stomps most if not all these fancy new named AMD's they've been coming out with lately.

Another forum to join would be forums.anandtech.com alot os useful information there. very true, amd really cannot compete with intel anymore and i foresee amd going out of business soon unless they fix their act. my next major upgrade in the computer will be motherboards im undecided but im looking at asus Maximus Extreme asus Maximus II Formula Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz just undecided at the moment for when i upgrade. ill probably upgrade once i fry this cpu(i want to see how far i can over clock it till it goes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90G60 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am going to be posting some Watercooling parts on Ebay, probably Monday of next week if anyone is thinking about going that route. Other than that if you are in need of some parts check out some of my listings. With the steady decline of our economy and Ebay's ever changing policies, most parts are selling at about half of retail cost, and most everything is brand new sealed in the box. Again, I don't make commission, so I do not benefit from anyone buying this stuff. Everyone likes a good discount. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/shopmc141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I just dont get this shit.... So whats the temp of the PC with water cooling.

He told me my business computer is running at 30c which is like 86f I also am willing to bet your brothers pc isn't overclocked to hell and back. My Quad qould run stock at 17c all day long, as soon as I bumped it to 3.6ghz it jumped to around 50ish, BIG difference. If I had water my temps woulda been ALOT lower.
