First WCing setup
hi all, i'm really tired off my SLK-900U/92mm Tornado fan(55dB )..so i have decided to take my first plunge into WCing..
I have some mixed feelings about my new setup and want your advice/comments/recommendatuions on this Currently i'm running P4 2.6Ghz C @ 3.2Ghz rock stable at 1.7V on Asus P4C800 DLX. The booting temps are around ~ 37-40C and max. loads are 41-42C... About my WCing setup, i have decided to go with a very simple setup for now.. I'll definatley upgrade, add/remove parts when i have enough money to move onto my next AMD64 project Here is the setup: DD Maze 4 block(I know this is very basic, RBX a better choice? can i use Y fitting with it? .. don't like three pipes sticking outta it..too complicated for me ) Ehiem 1250 Pump( or should i go with a smaller pump? ) DTek JR 120 heatercore with Shrouds Vertical acrylic clear kind of. OR T-line setup?? ( still thinking about Bleed and fill thingy.. :shrug: ) Criticool Powerplant PCI Relay Switch (good choice?) Clearflex 60 tubing and other stuff...etc etc... so what do you guys think? Thanks |

TDX if you hate 3-barb
T-Line and PM me about a relay, I'll build you one. If you go with the criticool, you'll have to cut the pump plug, voiding the warranty. The GM100 Relay Review everything else is good |

get the D4 (DangerDen 12v) instead of the 1250, its 10 bucks more but its worth it. (more powerful and smaller, but it is a bit louder than the 1250!)
Other than that I second a choice of either MCW6002 or TDX (but only if not in conjunction with the 1250) SenC. |

thanks guys.. I think i'm goin to go with Swifty MCW-6000 series.. it will a lot easier to upgrade to A64 setup in near future ... one thing, whats the diff between the MCW-60002A and MCW-6000A :shrug: ?.. according to this interactive graph http://www.procooling.com/html/pro_testing.php .. i see a small negligible diff in delta T's ...
thanks |

IMO a relay switch is a waist of money. I'm usig a Hydor L20. These pumps are designed to run outside in small ponds 24/7 for years (longest I've heard is 5 years). Take that money and some lambs or uv stuff or somethng
