QUOTE (IntelOwnsALL @ Nov 18 2004, 06:44 PM) so, if i got the thermaltake set for my first water cooling set, and later when i get money icant add the 6800 block to it?
and then add a better pump?
i thought it was all interchangeable...


but that setup i had...was it bettter than the Tt bigwater?
I don't really know much about the Tt stuff but looking at the tubing, it does look pretty thin!
But it's upto you... A lot of people have advised you on buying DD or Asetek but it's your decision!
I did a lot of research using Google maybe you should do the same.

QUOTE (Stix @ Nov 18 2004, 03:28 PM) The pump is fine and leaves enuff to cool GFX card. Are you speaking from facts or thin air? You used the TT system?
christ, attacking me for commenting on the pump... but yeah, i have second-hand expereince with it (my friend has one) it's not bad... his temps (AXP 2600+) are still higher than my frined's (who uses air(A64 3000+)). the pump just looks kinda dinky compared to others (like ehiem pumps... )
if you've got the money, get a DD.

Just what I thought Thin air. And attacking no... Wanting you to provide facts yes.

want facts? hows this. the bigwater pump puts out about 31 gallons per hour. the Hydor L35 knocks in at 320 GPH. over 10 times the gallons per hour. How's that do? if that doesn't suffice i'll go see if i can dredge up some reviews of the bigwater somewhere.
Also, the L35 uses 1/2" ID fittings, while the bigwater uses 3/8" ID fittings. fitting sizes can result in big differences in performance.

And you can read very good. Does not mean it cannot perform does it ? Nope. Fact is your talking out your [content edited].
Its a good system that performs well. To say to stay away from it because of the pump is ridiculous. I can post links to it as well thats easy.

i didnt say it couldn't perform, i said there were things that performed far better.
heres a link to some comparisons between it and alot of other units.' ">http://www.a1-electronics.net/...ake_BigWater_pg3.shtml

For the price of Bigwater perform far better no.

And the price of those units is alot higher.

except... it gets beaten by the Thermalright SLK-948U...

All in the way its set up. Can be set up 3 ways and get higher temps depending on which way.

I dunno but water cooling scares me, you know you have been taught that water and electricity don't mix. Imagine if the tubing had a slight leak, FUBAR for your PC.

I would say that water cooling would be considered a mod., therefore moved from Genearal Chat.


As for WC, I am running a Hydro cool without any problems. No leakage. Don't get as good of numbers as 17C, but it did drop my temps about 10-15C from stock air cooling.

I have an FX 51 and I run anywhere from 27-35C under load.
