| 461442 | 2006-06-07 20:41:00 | Hi folks, I have a Thermaltake Big water 2nd edition installed, and its all set up fine. However was wondering if they always sound like a small water fall? The reservoir is in a front drive bay and the inlet is higher than the water level in there, so when the water pumps in it splashes into the existing water. Are these things normally quite noisy? Main question: Can you turn these things off in winter, or would it cause problems? I'm in Queenstown so it's plenty cold enough in the case! :stare: Thanks! |

Don't turn it off, the case may be cool but your CPU is not, it wouldn't last 5 minutes. Why not get a XP90 or XP120 and pair it up with a Silenx fan? Very quiet. |

| 461445 | 2006-06-07 21:22:00 | Ha! Mr Tek, that's not pc :D Toilet cisterns often have a pipe from the water inlet to below the minimum water level to stop most of the splashing noise. In that instance the pipe isn't totally sealed at top to prevent siphoning back into water supply. |

WOW, now i just totally lost it right there....... :waughh: Why use air cooling (XP90/120) when u already have the quitest cooling solution? As for water splash, lengthenen the pipe gets my vote. :thumbs: |

| 461448 | 2006-06-08 08:20:00 | I am only running stock cooling (but it is LARGE), my CPU fan makes LITTLE difference to temps if I am just in Windows, if I start gaming, the CPU would over heat If I left it off . . . that is BAD!! I am not sure about water cooling, I have looked at it . . . but seeing as there is a SMALL heatsink on it there will be a LARGE increase in temps if there is not water flowing and this is just in Windows!! As for the reservoir, is it as full as it could be? because they would have designed it so I would not do that when it is filled correctly/installed correctly I doubt . So . . . DO NOT stop it, unless you want to kill it!! :2cents: |
