    water tube passing through case - design question

    I'm not quite sure what you are talking about :confused: Also it's just a brass 1/2" tube barbed splice. I wanted to use plastic but they didn't have what I wanted at Ace

    water tube passing through case - design question

    I have a 1/2" ID external watercooling system. I want to drill 2 holes in the back of my case and stick a brass tube connector there. I will clamp the external hoses to the outside and the internal tubing to the inside. here is a MS Paint pic: My question is that since the brass...

    Going on a trip - leave water flowing?

    I'm going out of town for a while (less than a week) and I will have the computer off. Should I let the water cooling system keep running? I'm not sure if letting the water sit is just asking for problems.

    Cheap External Watercooling Project

    I used some more duct tape and it seems OK for now, but the leak wasn't bad before. Go figure more ductape would solve the problem, it's 60% of the whole system. If it gets worse, a simple PVC reservoir will replace my retarded 99 cent goodwill bottle. Plus, I REALLY messed the holes when...

    Cheap External Watercooling Project

    now that the system was stable, I felt like overclocking. Here's the results: Starting from an Athlon64 3000+ (2000 mhz) Increased FSB to 220 (10x mult) = 2200 mhz Increased Vcore to 1.65v (from 1.50) Temps: Idle: 35 C Load: 48 C so far, this is working great with me. I also expect...

    haha, it's done. As usual I ran into a bunch of problems during the final setup. But first, here are the pics Results Air Idle: 37 Load: 54 Water Idle: 32 Load: 42 Noise: No louder than my 120mm fan was before. The only real noise is just pump vibrations, so I think I...

    Getting water tubes into the case....

    I just finished testing my extrenal watercooling system, but I need a way to get the tubes into the case. I was thinking about cutting the divider between 2 PCI ports in the back of the case but I dont really want to alter my case What are the most common ways to getting them inside?

    Cheap External Watercooling Project

    yeah, I might have to redo the reservoir.... I can't get the damn thing totally sealed. It takes 24 hours for the sealant to really hold, so I gotta wait forever just to try. Everything was going fine, then all of a sudden, another leak formed. Nomatter what, this thing will be installed by...

    Cheap External Watercooling Project

    so far the cost comes out to about $100. However, I bought stuff I didn't use, or I didn't need. You can buy a water cooling set for about this much, but hopefully my setup will be pretty powerful. When I leak tested it, the water flow was crazy, so I expect it to be pretty effective

    Cheap External Watercooling Project

    I got some silicon sealer and fixed up the reservoir. Damn stuff takes almost a day to cure, but I guess it's worth it. While I was waiting I extended the fan's power cable I also am going to put a piece of the screen over the fan's vent hole. That way you don't just see right into the...
