BTW Clocker, hows your water cooled rig going ?

Had any probs with it ?

No problems related to the fact that it's watercooled, but the temps were unsatisfactory.
The AquariusII is basically a POS, rinky dink system and not worth the effort, IMO.

I'm back to aircooling and today I may commit to aircooling in a big way.
I'll keep you posted.

A big way?

I guess you&#39;re changing to 120mm fans...?

[clocker]

120mm fans are the least of the changes that may happen.
I won&#39;t know till my supplier opens up this morning (10am) and I can do some serious measuring/price haggling.

I have been running various tests the past week and may just go for broke and do some major ( read:irreversable) moddage. So far I have tried to limit any modifications to ones that could be either reversed or used as something else, but that may all change this afternoon.

if all does go wrong, its only other case isnt it?

also look forward to hear and see your project as you go

Abu, read this.

When I first saw the heatpipe arrangement in this HS, I questioned how well it could work...the heatpipes are laid out wrong.
This comparison was a real eyeopener for me as I have the Zalman 7000cu and don&#39;t much like it, but it outperforms the Thermalright in this test.

so the sp94 isn&#39;t that good?

[abu_has_the_power]

so speedfan can change the rpm of the tornado? if it can, i&#39;m getting this hs now

You could send me your Aquarius system if you wanted........



Oh and btw, if the fan plugs into the connector, the speedfan can control it. You will want to as well, because the tornados, really do sound like tornados.

good thanks. i was waiting for someone to say that.

and btw, chances are i&#39;m gonna get the Thermaltake Highest Xaser II A5000C Chassis and not the one in my sig. the auction got a little out of hand. still a good case.



so u guys think i should get the sp 94? i found one on jab-tech.com (good rating on resellerratings.com) for &#036;43.

Wait for the new 947U to come out, check out the reviews, everyone is just waiting for it to ship.

At the very least you can get the 947 regulars cheaper probably when the U&#39;s ship.

that one&#39;s already out. how old is that review?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...7&category=3673

it&#39;s already being sold

and the sp94 got better temps in almost all the reviews i just read.

i&#39;ve decided to save some &#036;. so i&#39;m gonna stick with the intel stock hsf and c how far it&#39;ll take me in ocing. if the temps get too outrageous, then i get a new hsf.
