Just bought this, pretty detailed little flash thingy.
http://www.evercool.com.tw/products/wc_202.htm
Should have it soon. I only paid 84.00.

 

Yea, I posted this thread right before school, and i get home, theres UPS! W00t!

 

Woah.. I dont know if this is a problem, or not but.. I just got this Evercool Water cooling system WC-202. I only have a ANTEC 300W PSU.

Here's everything thats in my PC.

2 cdrom drives
2 HDD's (Seagate 160GB, Maxtor 120GB)
Nvidia GeForce 4000 MX 128MB DDR AGP
Soundblaster Live! 24-Bit soundcard
A 2.20Ghz processor
CPU Fan, Case Fan
Power switch
1GB of CORSAIR Value select RAM
And all those other little things on the Motherboard
Oh yea, the Motherboard.. ASUS A7N8X-LA (Explorer 4)
CPU Type: AMD Athlon XP, 2250 MHz (11 x 205)
CPU Alias: Barton

Can I RUN the water cooling kit with the 300watter, or upgrade?
and does a PSU effect your PC's overall performence?
My friend said if a i got a 500W+ (not a cheap one) that it would be like having a whole new system..

 

Woah, i made it sound like a started a whole new thread.. I havnt been to sleep yet today, excuse me..

 

Hmmm, I just bought a new LED fan for the radiater, i havnt installed the water cxooling system yet, waiting on my new psu. But anyways, the fan connects to the power supply, the 4 prong regualr ones like that connect to your hdd, i cant monitor with fan with speed fan. Like i could if it was connected to the mobo, anyone know why?

 

Also i have a AMD, and the kit comes with it comes with "AMd K8 Athlon 64 clip kit" and " AMD K7 & Intel P3 clip"" i dont know which one is mine..

 

Thanks again man!
BTW, the little tool that came with the water cooling kit, thats for the tube clips, broke, so im really screwed.

 

Its kinda small...

 

But do you see those 2 little metal pieces? they go into the 2 little holes on the clip on the tube, i dont know how to make something else like that right off top..

 

Well, I guess they'll work. Not like the clips that are already on there tho

 

Sorry to barge in Halo just came accross this pic while browsing,if the clips are like 99% of all hose clips they will look like these 'on the right' which you can open with your fingers or a pair of pliers

 

Hey man i was wondering were did you buy it from, might look into it.

thanks

 

Here's a couple of review of WC-202:

Not bad reviews But not great either.
It Seems you can cool better on air.
Not for the serious OCer

 

Its not either one of those, they got little wholes in the clips, made just for the tool and crap..

 

It's just a snap ring/snap ring's & tool available at most hardware & automotovie stores.
IMO makes poor clamp for Liquid/tubing, prone to splitting your tubing.

 

I just bought that new psu it was a cheap Okia 600W boy do i regret this, its CRAP!
I just installed it and my temps Stay at 144F i ran cpustabtest and its 250F at load!!!!

 

At those temps i wonder how the computer runs at all. Get that cooling done man cause your burn up your system if you dont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
