New build

Anti

Right so,

Im getting all this lot from beatfreak :

Its the case, pump tubing rad and res.

Now obviously his gpu and cpu blocks wont work for me. So what i need is somelinks to a gpu block for a x1950pro and a s939 cpu block for a dfi lanparty nf4 sli-d board.

By the looks of it, all the tubing is 0.5" id. Unless im mistaken. So can ya show me some places that accept Creditcards, and wont rape me on delivery charges.

Cheers lads

Good stuff, Anything recommended ? As id like to cool the gpu and ram. And not have to use heatsinks on the ram

The EK blocks will do the job n they cool the mosfet.... http://coolercases.co.uk/acatalog/EK_-_ATI_GPU_Blocks.html

The Aplhacool blocks r half the price but dont do the mosfet(its an extra) but if u've decent air circulation u'll be ok.. I had one on my X1900xtx(hopefull's using it now) n it did the job... http://coolercases.co.uk/acatalog/Alphacool_ATI_GPU_Blocks.html

I'm assuming here the X1950pro is the same layout/fittings as a X1900...

As for the CPU, the choice is urs....

Anti

they are alot cheaper then i thought tbh. Plus im hoping the watercooling should help me break 3ghz

papu

i found that www.caseking.de has a nice selection of coolers and watercoolers

I am indeed using the Alphacool block..I also got the MOSFET cooler just 'cause it's shiney

Click for bigger...



Get good temps but TBH the MOSFET cooler probably isn't worth it...some decent airflow does the job with the stock MOSFET cooler.

Why go the alpha-cool route? Their stuff is mediocre at best and is even outperformed by some of the newer air heatsinks like the tunic.

Have you tried to fit a Tuniq Tower on an X1900xt ? Even with a hammer it gives less than ideal cooling

Now thats a mod I would like to see.

If my case was big enough id try to attatch one.

But im only going for watercooling to make the pc complatly silent. As my tuniq is now quite whiney.
