PSU poll

1 goodlooking 350w Enermax.

This is my old <font color=blue>Downdated</font color=blue>, <font color=green>Uneatable</font color=green> & <font color=red> rotten </font color=red> sig.

1 nice enermax 400W

My frog asked me for a straw...dunno what happened he's all over the place

500w.

Leadman? Leadtek? Lead-something.

nope, but i got more fans one one psu than you on two

I have 4hdd and a generic 400watt psu.

Look for the "post your system specs thread"

I have posted there before.

I use my computer for notepad and internet, so I dont need to overclock

ok, and some video editing.

Ignore my previous post I found it on the Other. Well because you're not OC'ing the PSU is sufficient.
I could have bough a 550W PSU instead of 2*350W, but I already had a 350W when I saw a cheap 350W dual-fan EnerMax on a computer discount.

Where? Where? The search engine didn't find one.

Every working computer must be improved .... or replaced ...

Yeah, the name he posted isn't the correct one. But here is the thread he is talking about:

<b>P75 @ 90 Mhz</b>... because I need the speed.

Well I had a lot of fans from old PSUs and wanted to OC... after that I thought it was fun to add some more and then make 6 of them temp-controlled with a DigiDoc5...
I still can turn them all on but 'only' 9 fans are running constantly: GPU, 2x HD, NB, Radiator, 3x PSU and 1 Intake casefan; the rest of my fans are casefans.

I'm going to replace my GPU and NB fan soon with watercooling... but I will probably place those fans somewhere else.

A DigiDoc is a device you can place in a 5.25" bay and use to monitor 8 temps and control 8 fans, it also checks voltages and RPM. For mopre info about it look here:

Yes, I build my own watercooling from some components, it is made of the following components:
Swiftech MCW462-BTEC as waterblock, this version comes with a extra peltier coldplate and isolation. €96.00
HWLabs Black Ice 1 Radiator, rated for 418W/h copper core. €72.00
Delta FFB-120HP fan for radiator slowed down with Rheostat and resistors. €31.00
Sicce Nova pump 800l/h €22.00
A plastic electronic water-proof wire box as resevoir. €12.00
Conversion kit for BTEC to B baseplate (to use my waterbloc without peltier). €23.00
Tubes, converters, etc etc. around the €20.00

Total is about €276.00 for my current running waterrig.

But I plan to change the rig to a metal resevoir and a stronger pump so I can also cool my GPU and NB with it.
And maybe I'm going to try to add the peltier again.
Components I'm going to use in the future (already at home):
172W Kryotherm DRIFT–0.8 peltier €60.00
Koolance GPU waterbloc €32.00
Koolance NB waterbloc €32.00
Sicce Idra pump 1300l/h €33.00
Mean Well 200 watt industrial PSU SP-200-24 (for peltier) €113.00
WaterWetter Redline-Oil Coolant €31.00

Total on other components: €301.00

Conclusion my setup is very expensive.
I don't have my CPU OC'ed yet, (although I reached XP1900+ speeds) because my NB needs better cooling and I also need this comp for school, so I decided to wait till school was finished.
Temp of CPU@1400 MHz @ 1.85V normal 31C full load 35C, these temps are so high because my current watercooling-setup isn't that efficient... going to change that the comming weeks.

Buying a complete kit is more easy, but building your own one with lose components special for your rig can be really fun.

Yes, but that pump only has to supply the CPU with water, mine watercooler is also going to cool the GPU and NB.

Thanks for that site about peltiers... I'm going to do my Graduation Paper about those things... maybe I can build one myself at school.

Reading finished.
First I want to say that I like the Innovatek Kit more then the Swiftech, because the radiator of the last one isn't good.
IMO both small waterblocks are from the same quality.
But as you can see in the test the Swiftech performs a couple of degrees higher. But a couple of months ago Swiftech launched a new revision of the MCW-462 waterblock which has some holes in the base-plate at the side where it touches the water which increases contact.

I have to old revision but I plan to drill some small holes in it when I'm re-building my watercooler.

But where did you saw that temp? The only temps I found where with a high-speed HSF used.

And take a look at <A HREF="http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q1/020102/watercooling-12.html" target="_new">this</A>. If those temps of 60 C are right it is much to warm for a watercooler... mine stays between 30-35C on warm days after hours of computing.

I would take the 430W for AMD... 'cause everyone says that AMD sucks more power.
