hi i am going to get a water cooling system and i just wonderd what people thought of this system http://www.asetek.com/nyhederPro/vis...=1&nyhedid=455
and will it be ok in a jeantech apollo case? i also wonderd about do i need to use all the water blocks that supplied with it ^^ just wonderd i was going to use cpu and graphics but i wonderd do i have to use them all?? and no problems with my mobo installation will there? any help / advice sweet thansk

You can use whatever blocks you choose. You do not have to use them all. Up to you.

As it is an external system the case work is not an issue. You most likely will have to remove the motherboard in order to install the CPU block (and chipset if you choose to use it).

That looks like a very powerful; easy to install; and sweet system!

If you can afford it go for it! If I read correctly it is 317 euros which is @ $400 US.

The most inexpensive coolers start @ $120 > $200 US so I guess my only point is the price.

It is a sweet looking system if you don't mind the price.

hi thanks for your reply i have the money im only 16 but i have been working really hard since i finished school .....i wonder would the chipset work because my board has heat pipe cooling on the chipset but i would use them all only other worry is Psu 600w going to get 750w or 900w :P and graphics card because it says vga block but my graphics card a beast and i dont know about cooling the memory banks aswell as the gpu and do you know about refilling watercooling systems and how regulary it needs to be done.... thanks

With the heat pipe cooling the Chipset block will not work unless you remove the heat pipes which I wouldn't do. The heat pipes are already an improvement over the standard heatsink.

The CPU is the most important and if the block fits your GPU that would be cool too.

A 600W PSU should cover everything. Here is a calculator: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp

There is generally no fluid loss in the system so refilling should not be required.

After a brief review of your motherboard and graphics card I think this system would be a good match. Again you would just be using the CPU and GPU blocks.

Let us know if you have more questions and or other systems to check out.

Just out of curiosity how did you find the WaterChill™ Xternal system?

thanks jeff you pwn taken aload of my mind mate....found it on www.overclockers.co.uk then watercooling :P why? this the first you have seen/heard of it? do you suppose i will have to cut the tubing?

good review http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/...view/index.htm

thanks again

This is the first time I've seen this particular unit. The more I see the more I like it.

I am just curious about how people search and find things.

You will get one length of tubing in the package. You will then cut it to the lengths that you need.

It is plastic tubing and all you need is a basic razor blade or utility knife.

cutting the tubing is it difficult because i dont want to F up the tubes did you have to cut yours? and how do they work on tube out of the watercool into cpu out of cpu into gpu out gpu then the process starts again?

Cutting the tubing is easy. Yes I cut mine. A single edged razor blade or utility knife (razor blade holder) is all you need.

From the video I posted above the fittings on this model are simply insert tube and it locks itself. Mine had brass compression fittings.

I am sure that the manual will have detailed installation instructions. This model is easy in that the pump and the tank as well as the radiator are in the external case.

In my system I had to install all these parts individually inside the computer case.

Basically your tube will go from external case OUT to CPU IN then CPU OUT to GPU IN then GPU OUT to external case IN.

Once started this will create a continuous loop.

One thing I just noticed is that this system uses water with an anti-algae solution whereas my Thermaltake uses an anti-freeze solution which I think is far superior to water itself.

If you want to look at other systems I am sure that you can get a system with equal results for perhaps half the price although it may be a little more complex to install.

thanks....Iam happy with the system but abit worried about installing it lol well thanks again..i will probably get this as its cool and easy to use :P lol thanks again

I am sure that the manual will have detailed installation instructions.

Let us know how it goes.
