What do I need to pelt-cool my gpu with a watercooling setup loop only used for gpu?
what's the best parts.

It needs to be compact without losing too much performance

gimme ur thoughts

If money is no object I'd choose these:

Chipset blok:
CPUFX vidcard WB

70€ @pc-mac2000.com (french version)

Pump:
Eheim 1250 (1200l/h)
@local shop +- 65€

Rad:
Money & enough space: 2* BI xtreme in series with 2 papst 120mm FGM (80CFM)
2*90€ + 2*29€ (pcmac & tones) = 240€
Less money, loud sound: 1* BI xtreme with high capacity 120mm fan (>120CFM)
1*90 + 1*20 = 110€
Less money, less sound: 1* BI 2 (double rad) with 2 papst 120mm FGM (80CFM) fans.
85 + 20€ = 105€

I've chosen for the last solution, but if money were no object, I'd choose for the first one. You'll need the space to place 2 BI rads though.

Res:
small plexi: easier, cheaper and more practical than fill & bleed

50€ @pcmac

Tubing:
3m silicon tubing.
+- 3€ / metre

Edit:
choose your rad & fan wisely, pelts make your water run HOT! :fire:

thats a nice setup RB

10th August 2002, 14:26

what about this ?

Got a question: just for vidcard cooling, which order? pump -> rad -> wb -> pump or pump -> wb -> rad -> pump ?
I'm guessing the first?

The Swiftie looks good and may perform OK, but it has 2 major downsides:

- alu housing: conducts heat twice as bad as copper. It's not a good idea to mix copper rads with alu waterblocks either.

- the hollow "room" inside conducts heat far less efficient than a channel like in most waterblocks.

OPP gave it a good review, but he has little experience with vidcard WB's and he didn't compare it to another... so excuse me for being a little sceptic.

@fredperry: doesn't make any noticable difference if you use a small reservoir.

I'll be using inline setup

I'll be using these components : disadvantage: Cu + alu rad

advantage: cheap

So I'll need WW (Any other more commenly used products I can use? )

ps. sorry calantak for "stealing" your thread

Use antifreeze, it 'll prevent bacterial growth (or ice in use with waterchiller).

That rad looks like one bad mofo.

Can handle 20 bar :wtf:

I'll be buying a wc setup soon. but It'll probably have to fit on a radeon 9700.

what I'll do is buy the whole setup and let them deliver it to one of you WC-geeks.
So that I can come by and have some explanations, coz WATER+ME = weird effects
or I'll try and tap off my hose from the prometheia :-)

Gamer · 10th August 2002, 16:44

a second hand vapochill could do the trick....

vapochill = 100-110 watt, so this should be enough for that R 9700.

maybe I'm selling mine ....
