Hello everybody!
First of all I would like you not to consider my poor English. I’m an native German but anyway I would like to tell you my story
So, about two years I dream about spending my PC a water cooling. And now this will happen. In this thread I would like to document this.
Why a Water-Cooling?:
I suppose several factors have certainly played a role. First, of course, with water-cooling you get much lower temperatures as with Air-Cooling. This allows you to overclock your system to get the most power out of it.
Another reason is the beautiful look of a good water cooling. Anyone had seen some pictures of a nice build water-cooling would agree me.
The third and final reason for water cooling I would like to address is the lower volume. Because my PC is running about 24 hours a day the the permanent background noise gets on everyone’s nerves
The actual state:
In the following paragraph I will briefly introduce you to my current system:
I got an Intel Q9550-QuadCore as CPU, cooled by an Xigmathek Thors Hammer. The Grafikscard is an Geforce 9800GTX from XFX, cooled by an Xigmathek Bifrost. The 8gig of RAM are spitted into 2gig-Dominator-Modules from Corsair. This all is placed on an Asus P5Q-Pro Motherboard. At least the power cames from a BeQuiet E5 500Watt. The Harddrives are a 32GB-SSD from SuperTalent supported by 250GB and 1000GB-Drives from Seagate and Western Digital.
The Case this all fits into is the Xigmathek Midgard.
What will all be done?
Because I mainly use my CPU this will be cooled first by the water. Later maybe the GPU and Mainboard also.
Into the top i will build in a trippleradiator.
Furthermore the hole system should get an blue-black-Look
Here, roughly my To-Do-List
- Planning and preparing the installation
- Complete disassembly of the computer
- Installation of the components including water
- Check if everything is right
- Start the computer with a new cooling
- Comparison before and after
I will write more of the single steps right when I’m there. So i could shoot a lot of photos
Finally, I would still like to say thanks to Aquatuning and Phobya for there sponsorship!
PS: Here some pictures. Once, we're going, there will be more to see!
