    Asus Maximus SE Watercooling - Help Please.

    Thanks Gillbot and Aigo :) Can't 24 volts be directly fed from the PSU to the fan? Will it then even further improve the performance is it runs at 24 V with full blast?

    Thanks Aigo :) I got these Sanyo fans and they rock. Also verified and they are Japanese make. I can now understand why you enphasised on static pressure for fans. I could well see the difference when I tried both Sanyo Denski and Noctua fans and the latter sucked. Btw, I am still wondering...

    Beginner WC Kit?

    I watercooled my PC basically because I wanted a cool looking rig. And I didn't had to spend much on it. I got the Swiftech H20 220 Compact for as little as $90 on ebay and spent abt $30 on additional tubing, coolant and fans. You can get one from an etailer for abt $130. I also changes the fans...

    Super articles there I am actually reading all of them: http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...howthread.php?t=202394 Yes it does show Noctua doesn't live up to the hype. I'll keep the stock ones for now and sell off the N 12 on Ebay. At least I am not losing out on anything, those were...

    Thanks WoodButcher. But yet again Petra's products are not available at any resellers in London/UK /Europe nor are they willing to ship it. Also, I was wondering if there were any biocides which were colourless rather than having some colour. I would be using Red and Blue coloured tubes with...

    Thanks Germz :) I have decided to go for Feser tubing because of the same reason. Although I would be using a combination of blue and red tubes, would look cool! Have you decided to go for Swiftech H20-220 Compact Water Cooling Kit? How much are you getting it for? hope it works out fine for...

    Swiftech Green UV Reactive HydrX Coolant

    Great Stuff! Cheers WoodButcher! You are an Angel :) So then I won't use any coolant as such, just distilled water would suffice. I would also get the Feser tube 3/8" ID 1/2" OD (I want to use two colours, 1 blue and 1 red, would look cool). 2 meters should really be enough I suppose. What...

    GTX 260 (216) or ATI 4870 1gb?

    If you are thinking of going for Crossfire either now or in the future, the P45 Chipset mobo is not a great choice as you would only be able to get PCIe x8 on crossfire mode as opposed to full x16 speed for both the cards. Instead go for x38 or x48 mobo. Also, why go for lesser cards in...

    Dissappointed with my first build :( Further upgrade?

    I think 8800gt is a bit outdated. Go for 4850/4870 512mb at least. You can play crysis at decent FPS at 1280 X 1024 (Enough res for 19" I suppose).
