Same with NYC tap water
Only think they add is the chemical which makes it easier for calcium to get into body cells. Quote:

[quote=j813]I can't find those here in my country.
Could you share what Brand & Model is that if there's any info please. You should be able to find it in the sprinkler section of you local hardware store. IIRC some members on OCAU pointed out that filter after he bought the one of the left, and he had never noticed it despite walking down that isle a number of times. So it may be a little hard to find, but any hardware store/sprinkler shop will have it. They are fairly big. |

I brought a similar one today... it was 10.99NZD, a bit dearer, but a similar filter i think. It was in the garden irrigation section of my local hardware store.
Apologies for the thread hijack Cathar. |

K guys thanks!
It's just that I'm living in a third world environment not too many have the luxury of having a garden. What we mostly have here are (h2o for drink) filters or water filtration in gen & these things has so much restrictions especially the price. Will scout for it though & if there's not any, maybe I can buy there online. Am kinda near you Mates. BTW I'm using an Evap Tower, yeah I know me better scrap the idea whenever using a jetted block(s). I'm in process of having a special made Rad or Core. |

The Storm/G4, with its harder copper, wasn't as bad, but it had been through perhaps 40-50 remounts by the time I decided to lap it again. Arctic Ceramique has been good to use as a thermal paste - with noticably less (if even noticable at all) curing variance, and so I've been able to build up a stronger level of confidence in my results. With my old thermal paste I was seeing 1-2C drops after a few thermal cycles which made it hard to guage what was going on, whereas with the Ceramique what I see on the first mount doesn't change in any detectable way even after 3-4 thermal cycles. The Ceramique starts out better than the Silver 5, but the Silver 5 over time cures to be ~0.5C better than it. So I'm very confident that given the same pumping characteristics (i.e. any given fixed pump from an Eheim 1046 up to an Iwaki MD40-RZ) that the Storm/G4 is a stronger performer than even the re-lapped SS. Once I get the tweaked version back, hopefully this week, I can put the two Storm blocks head-to-head, gather a clean-water base-line, add glycol (although I don't believe now that this is a significant issue), and make a choice, and then start down the road to ramping up. |

Piccy of final block
Well here's what the final block will look like in basic Socket 462 (Socket A) format. There will be an aluminium universal adaptor plate that fits over the top for Sockets 423/478/603/604/754/775/939/940. Presently considering getting the plate anodised in black as well. Don't have an adapter plate in hand yet though.

Silver bases are definitely needed. Got to go all the way with the black/silver thing. Shiny plated adapters?

HEHE,
No wonder you can get AMD mobiles to 2850mhz. ! Looking forward to seeing it done and a full comparison vs Cascade or others. I hope you'll also send pH a production version Cathar. Great work man! |

Room temperature water-cooling. Not benchmark stable though. |

Still, even with an Eheim 1250 in a full assembled 1/2" system the Storm block's jet velocity is around the 5m/s mark, while with the Iwaki MD-30RZ on a Cascade the jet velocities were around the 6m/s mark. It's not really possible for me to eke out significantly more velocity without choking flow rates to a near stand-still. Last edited by Cathar; 09-04-2004 at 10:45 PM. |
