hello.
i am new to watercooling i have a 1800xp and a antex sx830 case. after browsing around many forums for a long time ive come up with a list of parts... radiator: heatercore block: cathar "white water" tubing: silicone or tygon, 5/8"id pump: was thinking about an iwaki... too expensive, not worth the $, now im considering a ViaAqua 1300 or an eheim 1250. im looking for the best price to performance ratio here... also shooting for high flow i only want to run a single inline setup... only the CPU. the only thing i havent decided is the pump! any other suggestions would be helpful too. thanks |

If price is an issue, then Eheim's are fairly expensive as well....
You might want to look into a Danner.

Why the need to go for the 5/8" ID tubing? While I can fit 5/8" barbs onto my block, I can't source the 5/8" Y's in Australia (yet). You aren't going to notice a significant increase in flow rates with a 5/8" system over a 1/2" system for a short CPU-only loop, that and 5/8" ID tubing is quite large and difficult to work with (bend, etc).

well its not too hard for me to get 5/8 tubing, and i can easily get all parts (block,heatercore,pump) with 5/8 barbs so why not? even the small increase in flow might prove helpful. also are there bending problems with 5/8 tube?

Not if you use silicone. Vinyl will collapse. The braided vinyl requires room to get a good turn, but will not collapse. I would also recommend a Danner Supreme Pondmaster pump. They are excellent and quiet, if you put them on a vibration absorbing mat (like fibrous open cell foam). Think about a 350 or higher. Maybe a 500? You should be able to pick one up online for around $50 USD. You'll hate yourself if you go for a Via Aqua or Maxijet or Rio.
Oh, and 1/2" ID Clearflex 60 (see Pro/Deals) can be stretched over 5/8" barbs creating bulletproof seals if clamped. Food for thought.

I don't hate myself for using a Maxi Jet...
I hate myself for buying that Maxtor...

Yes but easily fixed. Also put a hose clamp on the inlet piece to keep from cracking, and use plastic barbs. |
