My water cooling
While all sorts of ponte and PR, I pursued one simple goal - productive silence.
My system unit is quite simple, but I couldn’t agree with the cooler coming as a present with the processor, it either buzzed at full speed or whistled when the motherboard tried to take control of the speed.
Then there will be pictures and a little text, if I'm interested in asking for a cut, it
looked like it
was originally There was an attempt to use monster coolers, but gradually the desire fell away, the radiator was clogged with dust very quickly.
But it was not sports, so I thought about water cooling, it's interesting all the same. I thought for a long, long time, at least six months. As a result, switching from cold AMD to Intel's hot cakes, I got together. I bought everything over the hill, I quote Moscow prices for reference (can be compared with a bumburum)
What I needed:
Initially, there was an intel core i5 and a haf912 case. I simply chose a
radiator , as on this case the manufacturer recommends installing radiators on top, there were two options - a sheathed 2x120mm or a non-standard square 200mm. I bought the case because of 200mm fans, there are two of them, one in front and one on top. So the square radiator took its place. The radiator, by the way, is called Phobya Xtreme 200 .
The processor water block is an uncontested EK Supreme HF EN Nickel Acetal . Why no alternative? I liked it (externally + read a couple of reviews ) and that's it ... The
installation, although it is well described in the instructions, is confusing due to the large number of connections. You need to put the reinforcement plate.
I chose the largest fittings and hoses , and why not? inner diameter 13mm (1/2 "), outer 19mm (3/4").
The tank or expansion tank was purchased with the ability to install a pump, to save space - XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25 ”Reservoir for Laing D5 The
pump - Laing d5 , one of the best.
The controller of the Skythe KazeMaster is busy with turns of 4 case fans, the fan speed does not exceed 600-700. This silence is achieved, and 200 mm fans do their job.

expensive? Oh yes ... Was it worth it? I do not know yet. The temperature of the probe under load fell 30 degrees.
Before, on the complete cooler
After, on the water
Well, a couple of final photos
Update.

Update.
- The pump has an adjustment of the speed from 1 to 5. At 1 speed it is noiseless, at 5 it is very buzzing.
- The video card is sold, a new one is selected and will naturally be cooled by water.
- I bought all spare parts at specialtech.co.uk, they have worldwide delivery.
- I already have both SSD and maximum memory capacity.
- The processor is not overclocked.
- I bought everything myself, paid with paypal, collected everything myself.
- The project is not finished, I'm waiting for gtx680 and a water block, something like this should come out
