water tank

vladimir · 28-October-02, 09:17 PM

im considering putting watercooling inside mi rig and was wondrring if its worth buying a water tank or just making mi own

MeMyth · 28-October-02, 09:21 PM

If I were doing it, I would do a home grown tank, gives room for creativity...

ducati748r · 28-October-02, 09:23 PM

i would do my own tank, that way you could do something really custom.

Miststlkr · 28-October-02, 09:42 PM

DIY all the way

carbongraphite · 28-October-02, 10:01 PM

an arcylic tube (plubing supply store or fish tank place) sealed at the ends with an arcrylic disk. you know thats what you want. i know one of you will do something weird like a head in a jar or some other organs.

vladimir · 28-October-02, 11:12 PM

putwig · 28-October-02, 11:19 PM

All the months you have been hanging out here....and you need to ask DIY vs. pre-made!!!!

Me thinks you have not been paying attention clown!

vladimir · 28-October-02, 11:23 PM

heh putwig i never payed attention to this section cause im a noObie at this shyt thats y i have to ask

and how hard is it to actually make a good tank

putwig · 28-October-02, 11:34 PM

Container......drill holes.....hose barbs........plumber's goop......done!

If you are gonna custom make the container, then you will need to add a couple steps to the above plan.

like:

plexi....measure....cut...sand.....drill holes......hose barbs...plumber's goop....seal.....done!

vladimir · 28-October-02, 11:51 PM

hey putwig did u make ur own ?

and is there a good guide on how making these....

and about what size do i need if i wanna cool video, cpu

vladimir · 28-October-02, 11:56 PM

woohoo got a custum rank

and if i build the tank miself, how much money am i looking for on spending?

and i would need:

water block x 2
radiator x 1
major tubing

am i forgetting anything?

flounder405 · 29-October-02, 12:11 AM

congrats clown you are a whiley hoe ,happy dance for ya..anyway had a idea for you make the water tank on the window of your case and put little floating penguins in there and you can put a copper screen on the barbs so they dont get sucked into the pump

BigAkita · 29-October-02, 12:18 AM

It's easy and cost effective to make your own water rig. Just try to visualize where everything will go beforehand and ensure you got clean runs for the tubing. You also need to decide if you want a submersible pump or an in-line pump. Both had advantages and disadvantages.

Too bad you didn't post two days ago, I got pissed off and threw away half my water rig. Luckily I still had an SK6 sitting around, first time running on air in a LONG time. I put my 7000RPM 60mm on it and remembered why I went to water. I am building an entirely new water setup now.

Congrats on the new rank, Clown! Or would you rather be my bitch?

putwig · 29-October-02, 01:04 AM

Clown - yes I built my own.

model airplane fuel tank with two brass hose barbs and one brass fill cap.

Plumber's goop seals the deal!

Total cost $10 CDN.

Reservoir size matters not.

The res has no cooling properties (unless it is really big!).

It will:

1. prolong time to reach max temp (but not decrease max temp).
2. allow easy bleeding of trapped air.
3. allow easy filling.
