Swiftech h20-220 Apex Ultra First time install

Kzobel · 11-December-05, 01:29 AM

I picked up this cooling system today new in box off of this guy at a computer store for free. Its my first time ever installing a water cooling system and I really dont have a good case to do it in anyway. So it may not be the best Kit out there but it was free. The same for the installation, first tiem so I bet you guys have some Good input to give. thats whats great about pimprig. I couldnt fit the radiator on the back, its way too big, so I had to put it on top. not too bad. So im running a p4 prescott 511 @3.2ghz on a crappy temporary ecs board until my Dfi Lanparty Arrives. Its running 32 degrees idle and 36 degrees load. I think its pretty good but i dont know what kind of temps other people are getting. Oh well here it is. its got a Storm Extreme performance waterblock too. anyway. Thx for any input

You did fine for working with what you have, but I would recommend getting a case with a bit more elbow room. Temps are great.

thanks, yeah i need a taller case for sure. But i cant wait for the dfi board to see what i can really push it up to. Thx for the response

Just for reference, you should leak test for 24 hours, outside the case or with the system not running, just the watercooling loop.
