So, OP, how many loops did you construct with the three reservoirs and four rads? If it's for cpu only cooling, why the three res's? And the need for four Monsta rads is just well beyond overkill.....only is succeeding in killing your head pressure from your pump, compromising your cpu block's cooling ability.

Just curious. Lots of needless/useless/flow killing parts for a single pump/single block loop.

Fuckers. Take them to court. I know a guy.

This guys better

It is for show...

Im using the MCP 35X pump and it has plenty of pressure to run this loop..
I did have 2 pumps but sold the 2nd one because the one was enough.

I have no idea what is going on here.

I've recently been posting a little on ocn and have discovered it seems everyone has an answer but none of them to the question.

Hi. Are you from OCN?

Nope I don't think I even have an account there.

 

[Ns1]

It is for show...

computer ricer: confirmed

computer ricer: confirmed

I nicely showed ricer though...

 

[sourceninja]

So, can the OP hook me up with his sponsor. I need a new computer...

I'm trying not to knock these people for having strange hobbies...but it's pretty damn hard. I figure it's only a matter of time (5-10 years) before the hardcore computer enthusiast hobby is mostly gone. It's already a shell of what it was ten years ago.

 

[Gillbot]

They're full of shit. People STILL flip their so-called "golden chips" there for way more than retail. It's no wonder nobody wants to trade there anymore.

You covered it already

For the record - the mods at OCN are even more arbitrary than the mods here. Like night and day difference. Like... it makes the mods here look like a totally functional democracy (which for the most part unless you do something really stupid - it is, even though most others that would complain would have you think otherwise).

They randomly enforce rules and hold grudges worse than a scorned high school girl.

 

[wermad]

Rabble, rabble, rabble,...


Needs more rads and reservoirs

Doesnt Olds demand money when he gives you a reach around?

 

[Meghan54]

It is for show...

That's good because it's performance is probably going to be shit---hell, I'd wager a Corsair H100 would cool better. Remember, every single thing you add to a loop, be it a radiator, every inch of tubing, every angled connector, all conspire to drop your flow rate and pressure. Eventually, even though you may be able to manage a 1/4 gal/min flow rate, the pressure at the cpu block will be so low it won't perform worth crap...these new cpu blocks with the narrow channels/pin matrix plates depend on pressure and pressure and more pressure to cool well.

Glad it's a show piece and not a performance piece.

yes. but he will settle for the free hand lotion at the end of the reach around..:awe:

You do know a MCP 35X pump is more then enough for this loop?

It is king of head pressure for a reason u know....

The last res before entering the pump had so much pressure in it.. it creates bubbles..

I mean the water comes in gushing like a water hose turned all the way up...

Im going to turn the pump down some when i get the system up.

So where ever u go the idea u need all these pumps please change it cause you do not... " Maybe if you have some old cheap pump " But not a MCP 35X

Just look at the bay res the water coming in...

So why would someone build a PC like this......

 

[hokies83]

Cause it is a hobby and i got enjoyment with going extreme like this.

 

[rockyct]

A lot of people throw money at hobbies few others would understand. I'm not going to hate on it so much, but the hobby isn't going to last that much longer.

 

[phucheneh]

Because they don't understand that their 'awesome setup' is retarded.

It's not about the pursuit of a hobby. Hobbies usually have goals...like, 'I'm gonna build a remote controlled airplane' or some shit.

In comparison, 'I'm gonna water cool a remote controlled airplane' is not a real goal, because it doesn't need water cooling and will function no differently, no matter how much money you spend on it.

My hobbies include clicking retractable ballpoint pens, crumpling paper into balls, and stapling my dick to the wall.

I equate this to building a stock car with a 1,000hp engine. But that isn't enough, because you're also going to install a dual tank nitrous injection kit. So you can drive it to the supermarket. Because you can.

QFT. But hey, more power to ya! (and your sponsor) :biggrin:

 

[DrPizza]

I nicely showed ricer though...

Man. That's like being a computer ricer.

Hey, the overclockers sticker on the side adds at least 3 horsepower to his water pump! And all those LEDs and fancy lights - you know that CERN is envious of the computing power.

The thing is, you can still use 1000hp to accelerate like a bat out of hell...on the way to the supermarket. What you meant to say was, build a 1000hp car, and park it on a dyno.

My problem with the PC stuff is that it's just wasteful and silly. Overclocking used to be (rightfully should be) about value. We bought 300mhz Celerons 'cause we knew we could essentially have a 450Mhz Pentium for like a quarter of the price.

For what someone spends on a setup like this, they could simply buy a CPU and/or GPU (is this setup seriously just for cooling a CPU?) like, one notch below top end. And crush every application/game (...if anyone still makes games...) out there. And then a year later, upgrade. And then the next year, upgrade...you'd still have less money invested.

Also of note, of course, is what kind of overclocks people can get on $50 worth of air cooling versus what he's got. The whole 'using water to relocate heat then blowing it back into the case' thing is a silly concept...cooling water kind of goes with heating air. It's like setting a window unit in the middle of your living room and expecting it to get cold.

If you're gonna spend stupid money, make something stupid-effective and/or just stupid-awesome. We've all seen off-the-shelf PC watercooling products piled into a giant case before.
