Hi guys,

I have always wanted to try Liquid Cooling from the moment I heard about it. Below are the images showing few things of what was it like. Eveything is out of the case as of now for initial testing. Have to cut pipes to proper lenghts to keep it clean inside the case. I am still searching for a good fan for my Radiator. For time being I used the 120MM fan of TT-BT (not a good thing :( ). But it went well for starters. :hap2:

Parts:


Naked 7800GT:


Kool(ance)ed 7800GT:


X2 + OCZ Plat Rev 2 - Memtesting:


X2 + OCZ Plat Rev 2 -Memtesting again :ohyeah:


Other pics are on the way. I will post it later... as me is in office right now.
Note:
X2 @ 2.9GHz & above Windows stable is NO GO what so ever! I Will check the Prime stable speed tomorrow.
 
Awesome work man.

What are the temps like?

How much of a difference?

And are you using Distilled water or Tap water? :/
 
No TAP Water for me man. Distilled Water + Cheap Coolant from Gas Station. Have to search for better coolant. Temps in the little tests I carried never went above 41C @ 2850. With X2 that is a good, if you ask me. TT-BT @ 2750 was 40 idel. GPU was 45C (stock cooling 475/1235 - 69 to 72C) after 10mins of RTHDRIBL @ 490/1250.
 
Amazing Stuff there Harshal , Keep us posted about your adventures with Water cooling.
And that temps look gr8 as what u have mentioned.

BTW finally what thermal grease did u apply to ur GPU cooler.
did u find artic ceramique or alumina

Post some screenies as u get time.
Everest , Cpuz , 3Dmarks , rthdribl etc....
 
Thanks Guys!! Yup more pics as I go Home.

@Goldenfrag, it is very close. $242 and lucky me got only Rs.620/- for duties :D
 
Can someone tell me how much can a good water cooling block for cpu cost me.
Like Dangerden.

And what will the max money spent on a complete water cooling kit.
[CPU blk , GPU blk , north bridge , tubes , pump , radiator etc....]
I want to know it just for knowledge.
 
About 45 Dollars Quaddie.

The CPU Block which Harshal has is insane and only 42.50 Dollars :P...

Well, you can spend anything rom 200 to 500 Dollars.

But best you spend 250 Dollars.

I love Harshals choices. Very good ones indeed.

CPU Block - ~40$

GPU Block - ~50 - 100$

Tubes - ~20$ (depending on UV/Coloured/ Blah Blah)

Pump - ~ 90$

Radiator - ~50$

I think those are proper prices. Correct me if im wrong harshal.
 
Well only tubes n Rad from here..... No point as it(RAD) gets more heavy.... I got 800's Radiator for 1100K+100 for 1/2inch pipes welding/soldering and tubes for Rs. 60/- Also Got arctic cleaner and Sliver 5 and then local shipping+Intl Shipping. Kinda expensive but works for me.
 
MCW6002 :cry: i cant find that baby anywhere :cry:

Guys, had a leak..... nop not me............. a leak in the system... right inside my cabinet. Damn... my nephw had managed to pull/remove a pipe from GPU Block Inlet which led to X-Fi card getting washed, even the last PCI slot on my DFI SLI-D got washed too. X-Fi which was actually washed first with Coolant+Batt water.... and then with Whisky :D is working like a new one....

Somebody up there still loves me :D That I am posting right now from that very system.
