Taking A Shot At Water Cooling

[EarlZ]

---

yes...u read it right...mix na nako w/ TX2 to make the concoction "lasaw" kai i find the TX2 quite sticky...dili kaayo mo evenly spread...i also apply the thermal paste in a straight horizontal line fashion across the procie's heatspreader...not the usual nga anha sa middle portion ra...

That means there is not enough pressure on the mounting mechanism of your heatsink and not a problem with the TX2 it self.

Where did you get the biostar btw?

The Odin comes with black sleeved wires already, so the black techflex (i think it's called) is factory - like many modular psu these days.


madmike - thanks, still waiting also

Look what i got in the mail today

D-tek Fusion CPU Block








Chose this block becuase it is supposedly less restrictive than the ver.2. Temp difference is +- 1-2deg only and i'm not too bothered about that.

Next up is preping the rad, pump/res. Cleaning, rinsing, blowing compressed air and making sure it is clean of any particles that could cause blockage in the loop later on.

Also we will leak test everything before actual installation, and making sure all the air bubbles are gone. I say "we" because i will be asking a friend (who prefers to remain anonymous), to help me fire it up for the first time. He knows more about computers that i will ever know in a lifetime.

Next few shots will hopefully be of the actual install. Crossing fingers........
