Use whatever barbs you like, as long as it has a G1/4 thread it will fit. I don't know what your tubing size is... but again, use what works, any G1/4 barb will fit in the rad (I think the swiftech might come with barbs from memory). Mount it anywhere, no issues at all with where you mount it (I hav...

Suggested fan speed doesn't really mean anything, XSPC's radiator is almost identical in performance to the MCR series with fans of the same speed and power. Buy whichever is cheaper. . +1 The difference in performance at low (<1000 rpm) fan speeds is so small amongst all the big names its not wort...

Thanks for the links, I knew I'd read something here on 2 vs 1 fan! The forum sticky is talking about free air however, which is quite different to against a radiator. The Mungen review however... seems to answer exactly my question: 2 fans 5V 11 dBA 38°C vs 1 fan 13 dBA 38°C ie same noise, more c...

I am pretty darn certain that you are better off with say two 600 rpm fans pushing 20 cfm each than one 1200 rpm fan pushing 40 cfm. This is based on the logarithmic nature of sound. I have been wrong before, but I am pretty certain on this. You are probably right, but your numbers are off. Adding ...

But logic only gets you so far. Now you have to experiment. No one can fully predict what you will find. I bet you will pick up a few degrees of improvement though. And don't forget to experiment with whether the cooler works best in a north south configuration or an east west one. I cannot agree w...

Shrouds are great. They help reduce the noise of the fan on the radiator and they also boost the performance.... the only downfall is the extra space they take up. The 'size of a single blade' rule is great! Where did you hear that? It does seem to match Martin's findings (and also, conveniently, ab...

It makes no difference in whether the fan is pushing or pulling. This is not really correct. From here: http://martin.skinneelabs.com/Radiator-Fan-Orientation-And-Shroud-Testing-Review.html http://martin.skinneelabs.com/img/FanShroudTest4-25mm1350.png We can see that with this specific fan and radi...

I'll add my 2 cents: -Using any additive in high concentrations is dumb. Adding antifreeze reduces waters heat absorption rate. -I use pure distilled + silver. I don't like the idea of using something that may react badly to the plastics in my loop -- not to mention, distilled + silver is just very ...

I should have said the pump sounds like a fan, minus the rushing air! ces: When you say the radiators are high impedance... I assume you mean the air not the water right? Cause radiators tend to inhibit water flow very little. With modern radiators that have low FPI, they are not terribly restrictiv...

D5 pump: I got an EK water blocks replacement top for the MCP655, it's much quieter. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=53938 This is news to me... wonder how the pump top changes the motor noise?

I have the extreme version of this:

which works very well (although the LEDs are stupidly bright... its a simple mod to remove em tho).

I can't find information on it anywhere :( Although its not really surprising I guess, Deep Cool is a chinese brand that gets relabeled a bit I think. So its probably listed under another brand. Anyway, I would guess that the idea is to provide a signal to the motherboard, as some motherboards have ...

How does the PWM cable connect to the controller? Based on the link there are 3x 3 pin fan headers at the back only (and the molex of course)... so I can't see where you would plug in a PWM cable? If I had to guess, I'd say its a Y cable that allows you to monitor the fan's RPM (ie the 'sensor' cabl...

Re: Water Cooling Heresy
This was actually my point! I didn't make it very clear sorry... but your CPU dying from getting momentarily too hot is a complete non-issue (running it at max temp for long periods of time may be a different issue however).Vicotnik wrote:
