    Copper Tubing for watercooling

    I'd actually be suprised if there's a significant difference in using copper pipe. In an average loop, we're looking a tens of seconds for a complete cycle. To me, this would mean that the thermal properties of the tubing used would have no noticable effect. When the water in the loop is...

    MIX 1/2 and 3/8 TUBES

    There is no problem with mixing hose sizes from a system standpoint, although there are two things to keep in mind. a) The 3/8"-1/2" adapters will add a little more restriction to the water flow. It sounds like your setup isn't too fancy so this shouldn't be a problem. b) Be careful where...

    Team Fortress 2 = Multiplayer for HL2???

    I would be very suprised if TF2 is anywhere in the near future. Fact: Valve has clearly stated more then once that we will hear nothing more about TF2 until after HL2 comes out. ^^^ This being said months ago when HL2's release was still quite far off. My speculation: Coupled with the...

    Best pump?

    One thing I would recommend you check before writing the pump off. I had a similar thing happen in that my Via died very quickly, except that it hadn't actually died. What your looking for is inside the round black cap on the impeller chamber that pops off, it has the pump intake on it. On...

    I stink at all fps games.. help me fix..

    Well, I'm not sure exactly about the mouse slider, I use the console to set it. But last time I was in the options screen (It's been a while) I think I remember the slider being about 80-90% of max sensitivity. Haven't a clue what the default position on that slider is, but I'm pretty sure I'm...

    I stink at all fps games.. help me fix..

    Okay. Reading through the thread, I'm suprised at everyone saying to turn mouse sensitivity down. First thing I do is crank mouse sensitivity up. For half-life and it's mods, I'm running at "sensitivity 15" as typed in the console. What do you guys mean by sensitivity 1/2 or 1/3? If I...

    Doom 3 improved HD access (good for Ultra detail)

    Like I said, mileage seems to be varying a lot. I've got a similar rig to yours, same motherboard, slower processor though, and I tried unpacking the pak4 files. I saw no difference in gameplay, if anything, my in between level load times increased. Good news it seems to work for you, but it...

    Doom 3 improved HD access (good for Ultra detail)

    Here's my $0.02 on this. From the pattern I've seen with this, I don't think it's the fact that the pak4 are uncompressed , I believe it's the fact that the files move from a fragmented part of the disk in the pak4's to unfragmented in a later part of the disk. What I mean by this is that...

    Reboots from overheat?

    What about something in software? If it has been running fine for a month and you haven't done anything to the hardware or the clock speeds of anything, my first guess would be something in the software has changed somehow. I certainly can't say for sure that this is the case, but just...

    Copper Block + Aluminum Radiator = Possible?

    Not talking about water wetter. I'm pretty sure there's some Toyota brand pink/red engine coolant in the garage which I'm planning to use. Although I haven't checked what's in it yet, I might end up going down to the local Canadian Tire and getting another brand. And I'm pretty sure the...

    Copper Block + Aluminum Radiator = Possible?

    Alright. Looks like I'm on the right path then. I'm gonna go with the pink engine coolant then. Sounds like it's strong enough to stop the corrosion, assuming I refill the system with new every 6 months or so. Diazo

    Copper Block + Aluminum Radiator = Possible?

    Hello all. I'm putting together my first watercooling system, and from reading around the 'net, I'm reasonably confident in proceeding. However, there are two question I seem to be unable to find straight answers too. First off, a friend of mine who works in a radiator shop got me a real...
