After saving for about 6 months, I finally got enough $ for my watercooling parts. I purchased everything from
www.alphacool.com and they are kind enough to ship it to Canada!
My system is spec is the following:
AMD X2 4800 (watercooled with Nexxos XP)
Radeon X1900XT - OC to 690/800 (watercooled)
2GB OCZ Platinum
147 GB Cheetah 15.4K SCSI (watercooled by the SilentStar Dual)
147GB Fujitsu 10K SCSI (watercooled)
SoundBlaster X-Fi Extrememusic
My temperature is great, the CPU is idling at 27C and reaches 41C under load.
My video card idles at 37C and reaches only 45C under load!
My pump is the Laing DDC 12V pump, the system has 2 pumps and one is a backup, which only turns on if the main pump fails (the flowmeter will activate the second pump)
As an added protect, the system will shut down automatically if the water temp exceeds 40C or if the flow drops to less than 0.2l/min
In fact, the FLOWMETER saved my system once and I am very happy with it. I was unlucky to have one of the older revision of the MCP350 and it failed a few days ago. The T-balancer activated the second pump immediately and sounded a loud pitched alarm! Just imagine without that, all my hardware will probly have went down the drain
