oh and you guys better watch out, all your records are belong to me



Will be sending in an order to either Sdumper or RunMC hopefully this weekend
 

 
Yikes!!!  I want one...how much,who and where.... what are the specs onthat monster?

top one:  http://www.under-the-ice....52&products_id=151
made by RunMC, he can be found there or on the XS forums
he claims -40c under load from a i7 (1.53vcore 4.9ghz)  this claim has been backed up by many people, he underrates them substantially

the second one is an unfinished SS being made by Sdumper, he can be found at either http://www.blazingpc.com/forum/ or the XS forums.
he claims -32c under a 300w load for $600 delivered or -30c under a 200w load for $450

Don't forget to factor in fans to the cost, these are my choice for high CFM, low cost, and good static pressure:

I like and use those fans... but I like the Delta 250cfm's better... same theory turn them down when you don't need the cooling.  If you notice the 66db/cfm...  noise to cfm ratio and do the math... they are quieter than  most fans when turned down.
 
BTH... our new friend is not that extreme yet and even the Kaze may be too much... but really please get them and just turn them down... if you ever want to do some benching or push your overclock you will be glad you did... and if you don't... just keep them turned down.

you know once he gets this setup, he will just want more.. so why not just set him up with great fans in the first place

this crap is getting expensive lol, i'm starting to pass my budget.

welcome to high end cooling ;)

let us know what you are planning

*shrugs*  its tubing.  literally any tubing will do, but you want some strength along with flexibility.  Plus you don't want to kill yourself getting tubing on fittings.  Just remember you get what you pay for (in most cases)

Not true... I don't know about Primoflex... but I can vouch for Tygon... I bought some of the cheaper ClearFlex that was said to be the same as R3603... it is not... clouds up faster and not as much flex.  There is a huge difference and don't even think about the Home Depot stuff.  You can run 7/16" Tygon on 1/2" barbs... best choice. 3/8" on 1/2'' barbs... even more secure with less flow (undocumented... this needs to be done).  Worm drive hose clamps can leak... been there done that... if you notice when they are close... they do not fit tightly all the way around.  I found that the best thing to use for clamps id you are going to use them are nylon ties... three of them staggered with the gaps/catches in different spots... ugly but compact and secure.

i'm going with compression fittings for aesethics and simplicity, any objections?
I'm going with 3 120.3 Swiftech Radiators.
30 feet of primoflex tubing. still undecided if its better or worth it over the Tygon r3606
T-virus Resevoir.
Mountain Mods Ascension case.
2 of the 120.3 in front, 1 in the back.
thats the main concept
And then Watercooling the CPU and a 5970 and 5870
Waterblocks for all three are not confirmed.

+1...
 
ROFL!!!  So very true... I have so much stuf sitting around that was a compromise... I just wish I would have got the good stuff right from the start.

thats kinda why i'm just going extreme to start, 3 radiators for a first time build, this is gonna be sick, once all is done i'll post some pics, hopefully i dont blow myself apart.
I'm gonna drop the hammer and order the rads pump and tubing, last call, primoflex or Tygon? you guys can fight about it.
Waterblocks, Fittings, and Resevoir/case will be bought at a later time.
