AND ITS GHETTO!!! LMAO!!! I picked up this kit for like 60 bucks. Has a Sacem pump, a swiftech MCW-6002 waterblock, two 80mm dual pass radiators. I set em up pump --> radiator --> radiator --> waterblock. I used water wetter but it turned green a few minutes later. LOL! Must be the old stuff the seller used I guess.. :hmm: Had trouble with the tube inserts thats needed for the quick connect fittings (the coolflex are too soft for it and needs the tube inserts) so I had to use some short pieces of hard tubing that the seller threw in. There were some occasions I forgot to insert the clams before connecting the tubing (almost impossible to take off once its on... ) so I improvised with zip ties that I never bothered trimming off the extras.. The two radiators are using 80mm ADDA fans from AAY's case (that he swapped out with even slower fans ) I don't know how the tubing got so garbled like that.. LOL! But I don't really care... It's temporary coz I wasnt able to mount the radiators in my case so this setup will be going to my bro's PC once he buys a few more stuff. So when that happens, its back to good ol XP-120 again. Oh yeah. NO LEAKS!!! WOOT! I had to hang the Panflo from my XP-120 coz the ram was overheating...
My current setup is a lot cleaner than it used to. I haven't changed anything for a long time, so you guys have probably seen it before.
Haha, mine will probably be even more ghetto PsY, you interested in collaborating and doing a comparison between high-end air cooling and watercooling?
Well, firstly theres some ghetto-problems with the pictured system The pump is neatly set up with the res You're using 80mm rads built for watercooling. You should be using heatercores from cars! You're using a commercially made waterblock! Your case acctually exists. I've seen some hackjob boxes which are the definition of a ghetto system. Although tbh I haven't seen Chai's system yet
This is my first setup more than 5 years ago... this is probably ghetto enough I think. Steel waterblock!
I have small case and an even smaller wallet (currently) so no new stuff. I have no access to CNC machinery so that a no too.. And Papercut, Let me know what u have in mind on msn or pm...
Here's a shot of my parts. Clockwise from top left: Nulon Ultra Cool, car radiator coolant Shrouded car heatercore - if I'm not wrong, it's from a Toyota Camry Storm waterblock - oh well, doesn't quite fit in with the theme, but I don't want to compromise on that Tubing - cheap 1/2" ID PVC from the hardware store, A$2.50 a metre Eheim 1250 pump - mismatched brass and plastic barbs So how's that for ghetto
The original fittings were a lot worse. The outlet one can't really be helped because it's not a standard size...
so u guys use coolant and not tap water? i have some parts here and never used it since day one (lazy ) thinking of setting it up, what should I use to replace the tap water?
The tap water here in Perth is horrible...a lot of calcium and other minerals, and not 100% clean. Gonna use distilled water + that coolant in a 20:1 ratio.
