Total DIY dirt cheap watercooling
I wanted to go wced but i didnt want to front any/little cash, so the pump is a pond pump purchased a few years ago and the rad is a heater core from a car I had a few years ago. I made the block out of a lump of copper and copper plumbing fittings soldered to a drilled out section, all the spigats (barbs) are 15mm copper tube and the tubing is vynal stuff from a DIY place. Musta all cost about £30 ($45) Mainly coz i bought the pump new a while back. There are two old papst fans running in seires (no noise what so ever) one each side of the rad. The rads going inside the case as soon as i can find room.
I get temps which make me happy considering the price of the system, I run my barton 2500 at 2.4ghz at 1.8v 36c idle 42c load.
