New Machine Part 2: Update to planning
filed in Workstation V.Next on Aug.02, 2009
In yesterday’s post, i mentioned that i was thinking about Water Cooling the Workstation V.Next… Well, after some “research” i have come to the conclusion that maybe water cooling is not for me… or at least not at the moment.
The reason i am thinking of not water cooling the box at the moment is, well, im lazy. after reading up a bit about it, it seems there is a lot more maintance with water cooling that with air cooling… You need to change water every now and again, clean pipes, sometimes you may even need to clean the blocks, pump and RAD… It all sounds like too much hard work! As you know, i am a lazy git…
So, a quick trip to OverClockers.co.uk has found me 3 posible coolers:
The Scythe Mini Ninja (wondering where the bigger brother is…, if this is mini, it shouldent be hard to find…)
The Xigmatek Thor’s Hammer (With a name like that… what else can i say!)
Of the 3, i think the NH-U12P is going to be the winner… OverClockersClub.com has a review and its a very nice looking setup. there are 2 120mm fans on this thing! only thing that worries me… the heatsync with 2 fans weighs in at… wait for it… 940G!!! thats a little under a kilo! Christ! 2 of these could pull the board apart! Now to do some maths and see if it will 1) fit, and 2) not break the board…
Update: Seems that there is a Version called the NH-U12DX for Daul Xeon processors…
Looks like a bit of a monster, right? should do the trick!
