Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
That's a sweet block man. I was gonna grab a silver Cascade but figured I couldn't really justify it since I have a copper one already. You shoud get some nice temps with that. :cool:
I grabed some visible blue dye off becooling. It takes a few drops to get my coolant blue instead of the pink the Zerex SRC turns it. Or you could just use blue AF as stated above.;)
The MCP600 is almost silent based on my experience with it. I had a Danner#3 before and that thing was a bit noisy. D-tek and switech may have sourced the same pump. I know that swifty made changes to the impeller and other aspects of it to make it quieter. Perhaps Dtek decided to leave it as is...
They don't really do much more than restrict flow.
I'd do two 120 size HC's in paralel over one double HC myself too. I average like 23c under full load 24/7 with my setup.
Yeah Clearflex over Tygon. It's cheaper and does the same job. You could pick up a HC and do it yourself or grab one off of Dtek's site. It's the same thing realy.
Everything else looks fine.
I would highly reccomend you skip the chipset block. As for the GPU I have a Maze4 on my 9800XT and it works great. Scrap the Bix for a D-tek procore 120 dealy too.
As for pumps I like the MCP-600 myself.
First off sorry bout the crash bro. Looks realy painfull but at least you survived it.
The H20 setup looks great. Nice clean flow with minimal tubing. :cool:
I didn't tell you why I really stoped using it either.
I crunched my NB chip on a remount and killed my last MB. :o
After that the WB just sit's in a drawer in my desk. I read your other post too. Glad you decided what to get. Water cooling is pretty cool, you'll have fun with it. :cool:
I leave mine running 24/7.
I would advise against that particular kit though. I'm not a fan of kits myself for the most part. H20 will give you great temps and lower noise for the most part.
