Greetings..

I am a student who is just planning to do some cheap diy water cooling set for a school's it week.. I had already got evrything planned but I totally got no idea how to build a water block for a processor...
Pls be more senseful and don't expect me to cut metal n those thing...

Pls don't teach me to do this..
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67211
This is cut here n cut there.. .swt...

The water block doesn't have to be a performance 1 , just nice enough to last 1 for week will do.. It also doesn't need to fit in lga775 slot.... just perfectly sticked on the processor will do...

I also need some opinions on the other parts....
I will use a normal small pail as a reservoir , two cheap aquarium pump, a weird radiator(pls refer to the bottom)...

Weird radiator..
I am planning to use a rectangular shallow type pail as a container for the radiator. A few old heat sinks will be half submerged into the water.. Fans will be mount on the heat sinks.. Heat sinks will be tightly tapped in the container.

Arrangement of my diy wc...
Reservoir > Pump > radiator > pump > water block ( i need two pump because i am nt going to drill a hole in the reservoir n radiator, i will just let the pipe submerged inside it n let the pump to pump water...)

1 of my friend susgested me to use ice n ignore the radiator, but i scare condensation will occur in the mob... dunno what can i do to avoid it ... those others method is so weird n "pro"(difficult /swt)..

PLEAse don't laugh at me because i am a person who totallly don't have any skill on modding/making this kind of thing... this is also my first project.. ...

thanks in advance

regarding warranty..

studwo — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:53:32 +0800

Greetings cooling pro and overclockers..

I am getting a new rig but i am not very sure with the cooling stuff so i decided to create this thread..

BUDGET IS 1300 including casing.. Casing preferable a mid casing lian li..

Before i start this I would like to ask a question first..

1) will i void my gc warranty if i replace with third party cooler?
2) will i void my processor and proc. heat sink warranty if thermal paste n lapping is used on them.
My estimate spec .

1) Q6600 overclock - 3.0 GHZ .. if can?
2) not sure .. preferably a gigabye 550 dolar model.. forgot name.
3) 4870 - ati mini oven don't feel good overclocking it..

No wc pls ... Pls recommend stuff which is available in lowyat..

Pls include the folowing item in ur recommendation

1) NB heat sink
2) processor hs (if lapping is voiding the warranty ... pls choose hs which are nicely cut by machine ) ..... n pls don't block the damn ram slot.. going 4 gb
3) casing
4) FAn adjust according casing..
5) Graphc card third party heat sink only if warranty is not voided..
6) thermal paste if warranty is not voided ^.^
7) capacitor heat sink
Warning: If my rig burn i will kill u ... (jk )

to moderators: I know i got a request for recommendation thread in another forum.. But it seems all the cooling pros are in here ... i don't get the answers i want in there..

THANKS IN ADVANCE
