Watercooling.... - 2006/04/07 17:17 Hey guys. I thought maybe on my next computer to change for watercooling. But there is a few thing I need to know before, to know what should I want more

.

-When all is set up, what's the delay before clean all the tube? and is it long and hard to clean?

-Does it makes alot of noise?

-And when when moving the comp, do you have any chance that some water get out of the pump?

Re:Watercooling.... - 2006/04/07 19:53 water cooling is as quiet as you want it to be . i currently water cooling my cpu with a rbx and a heater core ( ford heater core ) and my temps are 25 idle 30 load . it greatly depends on how you set it up as well . as for mobility if you move your case around alot it be a good idea to mount everything solid to the case . for cleaning you dont rip your water cooling apart every month ( lets say that ) but if the time arises where you do have to clean it its not too difficult to clean hoses ( at this point its actually easier to just replace the hoses at this time ) but then again if you set up the water cooling properly you may have to clean it every 6 months to 1 yr ......

Re:Watercooling.... - 2006/04/07 22:20 Is there any way you can fix, like under a optical drive, with screw?

So at all, let's say every 3months for cleaning.... There is some residue (not sure if this is the exact word) ???

Re:Watercooling.... - 2006/04/07 23:07 they make 5 1/4 bay res's and 3.5 bay res's Res's . as far as cleaning your not goin to want to rip apart an entire water cooling set up every 3 months , as this task is only when needed . but if does come to the point of a through cleaning ( hoses res pumps blocks etc. etc. ) it not to difficult of a task for hoses you can use a coat hanger ( metal completly unravled ) with a dish rag attached to the end of it and you clean the hoses like you would with a rifle . blocks you clean use a tooth brush with some cleaning solution and clean em that way ( of coarse you will have to tear it apart ) pumps you tear them apart run hot water on round the components of the pump ( mk sure that it is completly water tight ) if not the clean with a damp rag ... its not hard just time comsuming so like i stated your not goin to want to rip apart your water cooling just to satisfy an urge ( per say ) .... to keep maintenaince of your water cooling at a minimal you should use , 1) distilled water . 2) water wetter . 3) some water dye ( these is user preference ) . 4) now i use a small amount of super antifreeze rust protectant in my water bout 2 tablespoons per 32 ounces of water or you can use a small portion of antifreeze itself again keep it round 2 tablespoons per 32 ounces of water ..... ..... Mostly water cooling isnt a exact science what works for me may not exactly work for you ...
