    My Custom Watercooling Journey

    It would be cool to etch a logo or design of some sort into the block but not sure how practical that would be. I would look into the best water block's design and either replicate that or try to alter the design to make it perform even better.

    Adding fan to side of case

    This website is great an carries awesome parts to modding your case and such. I've ordered here before and they're great. They have the mesh that you will want and the size too that will match your fan size. http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodstore.html

    PC case for cpu cooler 160mm

    Just about any full tower case will hold that cooler, and I'm pretty sure most mid-size cases will fit it too.

    Tygon tubing vs. the rest

    I don't think there is really an added "plus" to using tygon tubing. I mean it is just tubing. Primochill supposedly has added biocide in the tubing and works a little bit better with turn radias but I mean tygon tubing is just the same i guess, just clear in color.

    Finally going for a custom loop

    You know, in all honesty, I've had a silver coil sitting in my loop for a year now with the system I have and its absolutely fine. There's no damage to the blocks and such. And I've only cleaned the system once and it runs on almost a 24 hour basis. I don't use special coolants but I'm also not...

    Finally going for a custom loop

    Hey Salvage, took a look at your current final setup. Everything looks pretty good so far. Saved some money I see but not a whole lot. Its one of the drawbacks I guess to watercooling :/ To answer your questions: 1. Yes the pump sucks in water through the side and discharges it through the...

    Help choosing DSLR

    Yeah thats the one that I was looking at. I didnt want to get as much as 300mm but wanted a little more than stock. I think I might pick one of those 200mm ones up. Thanks for the help.

    Oh ok, so keep it at 55mm and just change the second value? so either 200mm or 300mm?

    Help choosing DSLR

    Got my pretty toy in yesterday and I've been playing around with it. I really like it so far. Definitely a big difference from the Canon G10. I was wondering in terms of lenses, and pardon me because I am still learning this new system of DSLRs, what kind of lense would I need to get a farther...

    Are computers getting too complicated?

    This. They made windows 8 and the windows phone with all the windows on the main screen saying its supposed to "simplify technology" How does it simplify technology if I have to flip through a hundred boxes to find what im looking for? If anything, computers are getting simpler because...

    Finally going for a custom loop

    Everything looks good so far. Yes, it does tend to run a little high. I paid around $600 just for my setup. :( Check out performance-pcs.com. I bought most of my stuff through them. They have sales on some of their stuff and their prices are pretty good too.

    Finally going for a custom loop

    No problem. You can do a slim 360 radiator with a push/pull config and itll come out to the same thickness as a thick radiator. I actually have that going on in my setup..i think lol. And then the 120 in the rear is a good idea too. Its your choice in the end. I support both options. As far as...

    800D + Rad + New Fan Direction

    My 800D is setup that I have a radiator on top and have 3 fans blowing air through it and out the top, a rear blowing out the rear and a bottom rad blowing out the bottom. When you think about, it almost seems like a vacuum haha. But it gives me ~20 C temps lol

    Coolermaster cooling

    On this particular model by CoolerMaster it controls the speed of the fan in the cpu cooler. its pretty rare to find cpu coolers like that but for this, it controls the fan speed inside the heatsink.

    Finally going for a custom loop

    Hey there. I like what you are trying to do here. To answer your questions: 1. When building a new system, can you transfer most of the parts over to the new build? I understand that there can be compatibility issues but pump, res, rads, tubing? Any problems with degradation in the hardware...
