Do-It-Yourself CPU Water Cooling Questions

nice one bai maaung pagtulon-an pud ni.

nice ang compression fittings para way leak pero mahal pud. you can use barbs na lng ug zip ties para cheaper.

pero like what jojo said basin kusog ra nang pump nimo? niya murag dili jud ni cya cheap na diy kay sa cpu block (Swiftech Apogee XT CPU Waterblock) pa lang it can cost you around 5k-6k. pero basin maka kita raka ug 2nd hand diha na used but not abused.

good luck on your project sir! =)

A motorcycle radiator requires quite a large fan with high CFM + hangin ig dagan nimo. Basin dili ka pa bugnaw sa imong tubig.

Someone with a motorcycle confirm

fineupgrades has a radiator nga custom made then wala na gamita, try to see kung pwede nimo paliton to. i think that would suit you best kung DIY nga watercooling ang target. wala ko pics pero one thing i can assure you...

DAKO kaayo nga radiator.

mura pud ug rad sa auto? =)

So mag BARBS fitting nlng ko with Hose Clamp and zip ties.

The fittigs for the pump isn't that important coz submersible naman xa nya water proof ang pump.

The decision for the radiator is not yet fix coz the pump has one intake and two tubes where the water is pumped out. One of the tube will be connected to the CPU waterblock while the other tube creates a fountain in the fish tank in order to cool the water with the ambient temperature.

The pump almost looks like this: (submersible)

The two tubes pump out water while the grill intakes the water.



Size of tank: 2 Feet by 1 feet Glass = 200 pesos
CPU waterblock: Still undecided coz 5k or 6K is very expensive.

The hunt for 3/4 or 1/2 hose begins!

choy wa qoi ma sulti jud ani and ma contribute na idea.ehehhe..mainta maka kita kag source ani bro.

Blizzga, if ganahan lang ka mu test sa mga hoses bai, then para dli mahal sa imung part, try using a garden hose nga flexible. bring your pump lang para ma sukud nimu. But if kusug2x gyud gali ang pressure, try to use a longer hose length, para mu ubos2x ang pressure. Good luck sa imung build.

Kuyawag project Jaren ahh! Ayos bai! dili ba kaha kusog ra imong pressure sa pump?

A note on the motorcycle radiator or any radiator for that matter - make sure it is made of copper same (i assume) as the waterblock you plan to use. Aluminum and copper do not mix well and you will end up with a lot of deposits/residue in your loop that will be a pain to clean or may even ruin your pump.

the pump - you should be ok, and "too much pressure" will not be an issue. Aquarium pumps are are generally designed for high gal/hour specs but HEAD PRESSURE is not as high as the specialized PC cooling pumps. By the time you fit a radiator, reservoir, waterblock in your loop, that head pressure will drop a lot. pc cooling pumps are designed to compensate for these flow restrictions and do not suffer as much.

I'll say again, you should read up about this in other forums where there is a wealth of info on doing it properly. I did this for a long time when i decided to start with watercooling and it has been the reading/learning part that was half the fun.

Your idea will theoretically work but you also may be overlooking a few things. Good luck. Will subscribe to this
