Water Cooler

[Dude]

Looks good to me, which intel cooler is that one?

 

[kbrady1979]

I don't know the model number, but it was last generations model and it's the only one they have out. Here it is: Intel Water Cooler

I think it works well because while it's only 120mm, it's 38mm thick and comes with a Delta fan. I have mine oriented to suck cold outside air in, and blow it across the fins.

I think the 92mm fans are ridiculous for a high performance cooler. The smaller a fan is, the faster it has to turn to move air(especially for a heatsink) and the more audible the fan is. Will a 120mm fan not fit on your CPU cooler?

 

[Dude]

It probably would, but I am going to leave it as is. It will be moved to the other build I am making for the wife. She will not be OCing, she just web surfs. Thanks for all the help Kelly!

No problem. Let us know what cooler you end up going with.

What is the opinion o about this AIO cooler:

Coolermaster Eisberg 240L Prestige

A review on Guru3D

I am thinking of getting ths in the near future and was wondering if I can use the backplate from the Hyper 212 EVO with this - even though it does not require one.

 

[kbrady1979]

It's gotten middle of the road reviews. Sub-par mounting system and loud under load. I don't like the corrugate style hoses, but I don't think there is physically anything wrong with them. I think it cools pretty well though....overall.

CM Eisberg 240L doesn't looks too bad for an All-In-One, compare to the Swiftech H220 Review

I find also more secure the coupling connectors mounted on the radiator. More expensive than Swiftech, though! Perhaps a little bit louder aswell at full load.

That flimsy looking mounting is the reason I am wondering if I can reuse the backplate I already have in place for my Hyper212 EVO to mount this thing, instead of the push through mounting it comes with.

Performance seems pretty much near the Swiftech 220, and most of the noise seems to be from the pump/reservoir housing, not the pump itself, so could probably be damped out.

May do this or the Swiftech H220 next month, if all works out as planned.

Sorry, i was talking about the tubing & fittings on the radiator that were better shaped than Swiftech...

Therefore i think EK Waterblocks does also an universal version of Intel/AMD mounting kit for the backplate motherboard.

Digging the thread...

What's about this SilverStone Tundra TD02 240mm AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Unique design Aluminium alloy nickel plated/copper base and branded made...New kind of style on the Aio market.

They are making a Aio jungle out there!!

PS: Some recon that self made watercooling are quite better but might be louder to handle with pump, fans all together. I can understand some choosing Aio...

 

[Dude]

So I'm still planning out the new cooler. I will probably get a Kraken and have fan placement as such. Does this look like a good plan to you? I'm still bouncing between the Kraken and the H80I, eventually I will make up my mind. I was just about to purchase one, but then I had to put a new radiator in my truck, drained my slush fund lol.

​

Here is the one in the truck, to bad it wont fit in my case!

This is a pic of my rad setup. I turned the fan around so it sucks cooler air from outside the case in and blows it across the radiator fins and the 200mm fan at the top exhausts everything. Works really well as far as I can tell.

 

[Dude]

Your rig looks Great Kelly! I got the idea of the intake from you and Alan, I think it will work good for me.

Kelly's rig does look great doesn't it Doug, but I am sure it's missing something.....

 

[Dude]

Kelly has awesome graphics management, it's tucked away in his CPU

Only it's GPU !

 

[paulpicks21]

It's a long running joke I have with Kelly, every time I get the chance I mention a GPU to him lol.

 

[kbrady1979]

I think a few more hard drives are what's missing...

Nice job Kelly, that 200mm top will pull all the heat away with ease. I really love the look of the TUF armor !

 

[kbrady1979]

It does a good job, and only has to run at ~500RPM. On Silent, it has enough pressure to float a piece of printer paper lol
