A64 3000+ and WC

[SpideyX1016]

which would u get?
the reserator or the swiftech

 

[HardWarrior]

The Swifty.

 

[SpideyX1016]

theres not much of a difference? right?

 

[Idleuser]

big differences, the swiftech are design with preformance while the zalman is used for quietness you can't really get insane overclocking speed while providing stability with the zalman. Swiftech also makes the best preforming block with the best flow rates, the block really shines because you can use a low flowrate pump but still get excellent results.

I just got one of these http://www.coolerguys.com/840556009177.html

My cpu ( A64 Winchester 3500 @ 2.65) idles about 28C and load 31C

 

[SpideyX1016]

hmm that case looks pretty good, ive been looking at the koolance ones for a while

 

[hondAS2ooo170]

Danger den has really good cooling.

 

[SpideyX1016]

yeah i heard^ but its pretty expensive

 

[Yossairian]

Here is my setup. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it came out. I originally wanted to just buy a kit and be done with it, but after a little research I ended up just piecing one together.

Case- Aspire X-Dreamer II
CPU Block - Dangerden TDX w/ brass top
GPU Block - Dangerden Maze4
Pump- Swiftech 50DZ ( DC so it comes on with the computer )
Radiator - Black Ice Extreme w/ 120MM fan and shroud
Resivour - Danger Den 2x 3-1/2 bay (optional)
Tubing - Clearflex
Clamps - Home Depot

I just ended up spending a few hours reading the forums here and here to get %99 of the info I needed. If you have any questions on my setup feel free to PM or Email me.

That's the worst case I've ever seen if you plan to watercool. No ventalation, no space for radiator. Actually I don't think I've ever seen such restrictive fan grillage in my life. Please look into a case with 120mm rear fan so you can use swiftechs kit..

Yup.

But look at his case. LOL no way without serious, not just dremel, but die grinding.

Actually there are plenty of place to put the radiator... who says he gotta mount the fan inside the case he can push or pull from outside of the case. That case isn't as bad as you think zebo... It's pretty a pretty standard average case... Mount the radiator, while have his reservoir mounted on the top tray of the 5.25 and mount the pump at the bottom of the case and run 3/8 tubing sound be sufficient.

Oh I'm not saying it can't work..just needs some serious modding..and no crap hanging outside of case...

I'd cut out both 80mm fan grills.. put a Chevette core in the front after I cut out an 8x8 square and cut out the lower drive bays..

It's a wonder that case companies even bother with punched grills. They destroy flow.

 

[SpideyX1016]

then, would the reserator work, because i like that one

 

[Idleuser]

you're better off with a quiet aircool solution than the reserator....
