I was doing some Net trolling while talking on the phone with with "Shock-the Monkey" and he took me to this site where to my surprise... I was ranked #1 in the world for a W3570 on a chiller!   Blew me away!!!

johnksss

time for you to share some pointers then..mr number one in the world.

LOL... Come on John... you taught me all kinds of stuff!!!
 
As we say here at "Get it Colder"... just keep pushing!!!  Nothing new... just get it cold and crank it up!!!

Anyone wanna take a noob under their wing, and help me take a dive into Watercooling a 5870 and 5970?
I have no clue where to start. any takers?

Hey good to see you took my advise and came to the place where the extreme overclockers hang out!

oc333:
sure...i remember.

pwnzorz
you have both cards?

i second that... chillers are the way to go... just watch the condesation and you'll go far.

Nateman uses radiators in reverse and his chiller to cool his Mountain Mods case.

@ pwnzorz

Keep in mind any advise I give you will be slanted to the extreme side.

I'm looking at those 140mm sized rads for some of my up coming builds to cool some thermoelectric chillers.  You might consider the thermoelectric chillers as an alternative to the bigger compressor styled chillers as they can be fitted in the case... kinda like a Coolit Boreas on steroids... lol.  Let me see if I can post some picks that I had earlier in this thread on my thermoelectric madness. 

Thermoelectric Madness

I'm working on a nice TEC chiller that will fit 2 - 5.25" drive bays and run off of a single or dual 3 x120 rad.




8 of 11 high flow fans



my fan wire managment



aluminum 8 tec chiller on top of Thermaltake gpu psu and power leads from Corsair HX850 pcie lines to supply power... screaming Delta fans which really are just as quiet as other fans when turned down... nice to have the cfm & when you want it. ;)



I gota try out that new Swiftech bock which is said to be 3*c better than this GTZ... lol... well at least that is what Swiftech says... so that should make it as good or better than the Heatkiller.



More madness



I don't know how I got away with this without insulating 24% humidity doesn't hurt ;)



Hot and cold side of tec chiller... backwards on the colors.... this is with the ac chiller cooling the hot side. More like 18*/29* without ac chilling the hotsides... still working on it... one tec broke so there is a little more to be had as this is only 7 out of 8 that are on that dual block.



Remember these? Getting ready to fire them up soon.



Hmmmm... now what goes where?



2 Swiftech quads



old faithfull chilling the hot side just to see how low you can take the tec chiller



Close up of gpu psu... I had two but one failed... lol... I thought they auto shut down if they got over loaded... lol... sometimes... gota love Micro Center's Returns!



Gota keep pushin!!!

 

I'm also very much into things looking good, i'm sure most of you want the extreme cooling, at the moment i'm not planning an extreme overclock, i do however plan to watercool cpu/chipset at a later time

At the moment i have the 5870, the 5970 is still being hunted.
I'm ready to pull the trigger on parts, matter of fact my wife is waiting for me to choose the stuff as we speak but im pretty much clueless.
my budget to spend is around 600ish.
i'm open to anything, i'm most likely buying a Mountain Mods Ascension case.
And i really wanna use compression fittings EVERYWHERE. i do not trust myself with retention clips or zip ties, i'm pretty sure i'll end up blowing my computer into the abyss

funny you should mention that...
he is selling his...5970

I would use 3/8" or 7/16" Tygon R3603 tubing on 1/2" barbs instead... very clean and cheap... you will have a hard time getting the tubing off but it is "Clean & Cheap" and the most leakproof in my opinion.  Take the money you save on fittings and put it somewhere else... if you change your mind... then upgrad to the compresion fittings.

pwnzorz

i don't know if thermoelectric is for me, sounds a bit overwhelming for me.
i think i should stick to something simple.

In that case.. lets go "Extreme" in another direction.  Since your getting that nice case... stick as many radiators in there as you can afford... that will allow you to use lower flow fans to have a quiet system.

pwmzorz... start simple... just go watercooling... once you "get your feet wet" (hopefully not litterly) then you will get bit by the bug.  Its all downhill (or up depending on how u look at it).  We kinda operate at a level here that some might call "ridiculous"  (look at OC333's pictures for god sakes-at least I can put my elbows on the table when I am by my computer )  When you have overclocked your equipment as far as you can on water... then you take it to the next step.  Also your skills as a home craftsman will come into play.  other then that....WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!

I'm going to take your guys advice, 
Fire away, my budget for watercooling is 600 i'd like to stay around 500ish so i can pay for shipping

i've got alittle under 600 on my Credit card that i can use
So basically start the recommendations the case is going to be

the case i'll purchase next week, so that isn't part of my budget
