Summer Water Cooling project.

[gurusan]

it's a good idea usually to open up new blocks anyway as sometimes there can be bits left over from machining.

ah, ok then, gotta find the right thing to unscrew it with though.

I know i asked aspire this, but just checking, the best method for applying thermal paste (in my case, tx-2) to a quad core is the X method right?

 

[veedubfreak]

Line across the words. Same as an air cooler.

 

[Drizzt]

K, well i figured I should prep, so in addition to reading guides and stuff for water cooling, I tried out something that I thought might be a problem.

HACKING THE PSU

Turned out it wasn't a problem, and i was so happy it wasn't I took some picz !

So like...

I used this fan!

This old psu!

And like this powah cable and paper clip!



Then I looked at the 20 pin head on

Then sideways

Then i stuck a paper clip into the black and green wire thingayz

And the fan worked yay

Btw... aspire thats the fan that I cut out so I could use the frame to later mount my rad

Looking good!

 

[veedubfreak]

Dude, that windowsill needs some work

 

[Drizzt]

**** ya it does, I really need to clean that room up...

 

[Drizzt]

The small things in life matter (thats not what she said)

More small thangs

And fyi, I still cannot take this waterblock apart, LAWL. Imma start cleaning the stuff now.

 

[Drizzt]

Ok, cleaned out the stuff, and now on to the installation... bbl (24 hours :/)

Oh, also I am lapping my q6600... so if something goes wrong inbetween now and tommorrow, it was either my lapping or my flooded system

All you need is a set of allen wrenches from home depot.

Bought a set last week to take apart my furniture when I moved, ran me something like 5 bucks...
