Sealed Liquid Cooling??

biohazardpc · 05-April-04, 09:32 PM

OK guys I have been thinking a lot about liquid cooling.. The other night I looked back through one of my max pc mags and they were doing the dream machiene for 2k3.. It has a sealed liquid cooling system made by voodoo pc.. They are currently not selling this system, so I was wondering if anyone knows of anyone that does.. I want to make the step to liquid cooling but am leering about a reg system.. Worried about the tubing and leaks..Let me know if you guys know anything about this or your Liquid cooling experiences..

Just stick to fanz...h20 takes time, real money, and patients.
If you go into it without the confidence, that you can attach a hose to a barb, clamp it and not get leaks. then for sure you'll have problems...That voodoo cooling system was made by another company for voodoo and MaxPC put it in the rig of the year,.They never did tear it down to see what made it tic..conditions for aquiring one. Small hoses CPU only, and a slight O/C, wouldn't take much...
BTW what are your reasons to do H2o? What system? etc...matter of fact LOKIE has some extra gear, get ahold of him....

What it woudl be for is a a64 3200+ system..I have just heard a lot of horror stories about leaks..Time is something I do not have a whole lot of.. I guess once I get a case with better cooling then I won't have to worry about a form of liquid cooling..

id rather have good air than a hydrocool, its like not powerful at all, and the tubing is so tiny theres not that much flow

I'd go read some reviews before jumping to conclusions.

Well, truth be told, I started watercooling with an IceBerg setup. It had tiny tubing with a rad that makes a BIX micro look great, oh and has an aluminum block. The pump would push water, but not much of it. This is what I used to get my education in watercooling. (biggest waste of $75) I only had it for 4-5 weeks then the res that it came with cracked and leaked. Luck that I didn't loose anything.

By the end of the 1st day that I had the crap cooling system installed I knew I would be buying something better, and soon.....

So my advice is, Save your money until you have research it out enought to were you can answer your own questions. Then all you need is a little mechanical ability to install it correctly. This isn't brain surgery, it is just a simple loop of tubing with some components in the mix.

hell 10 months ago I didn't know that you could watercool a computer, now I design waterblocks and fittings for it!!! It all comes down to research. There is more than enough info to get you up to speed on watercooling. And with the WATER PIMPS here to give ya a hand or two, you should be ready in no time....

ive read the reviews, and its ok for starters i guess, but im the kind of person who never settles for mediocre, id rather spend 370$ on something really good (like i just did on my system from the Den) than 200 on something thats just decent. thats just me tho, some ppl would rather save the money i guess, but it seems like its mediocre at best, i think my current air (the water is still in the mail) prob has just as much cooling power as a hydrocool

Having reviewed them both, I would take the Exos over the Hydrocool. Of course the Exos costs more.

If you read the Exos review, you can see that both performed about equal when cooling the CPU alone. The Exos was simply quieter. Much quieter!

Furthermore, the review compares both units to quality air cooling (SK7) and quality DIY water cooling (RBX with a chevette HC and DM 2).

Both the Hydrocool and the Exos performed slightly behind the RBX system and way ahead of the Air cooler.

If you want efficient and simple water cooling, stand alone units like the Exos and Corsair are a perfectly reasonable choice.

Here are the results:
