so if you say pelts don't really differ that much, why bother making one?

Well - theres still that delta:
7-9C's that could potentially be reduced - i think in best case scenario it would shave about 5C's off my CPU temp, as ive noticed thats quite sensitive to changes to ambient temp...

And of course at worst case it wouldnt make any difference but consume about 100W extra electricity lol

i dunno, i guess - its all good fun

(and i have already paid $42 for shipping of a 5$ heatsink from the US) :grum:
its big

lol, bet you could have easily bought it cheaper in your local shop

Lol and there is the irony ...

i saw one on ebay UK and i would have paid around the same, but the fins were going horizontally, i needed long vertical ones!

Ahh well, it will do

anyhow, why did you buy a heatsink, you have your wc right?

Hi! everyone, I'm a newbie in this forum. And newbie also to water cooled system.
By following djivesp nice tuts on custom built waterblock. I have several questions and hope you people can share some gold before I start building one in my intel P4.

My first would be is it advisable to use aquarium water pumps? How many GPH is recommended. 2. Does anyone here knows some links e.g (www.overclockers.com)/hints/tips. step by step with pics doing a complete DIY water cooled pc? (non-commercial)

Thanks!

yes, aquarium pumps will do the trick, GPH isn't really THAT important, most important factor for a good pump is the head pressure (the higher the better), as for links, i wouldn't really know, there is a step by step one on this site though, just go to the articles and look around in the extreme cooling section. It's there somewhere.
