asus p5q deluxe watercooling

d3fct · 10-31-2009, 11:54 PM

hi all, just got myself a asus p5q- deluxe and wanted for the hell of it to watercool the entire mobo... nb, sb, and mosfets. being that this board is new to me im unfamiliar with any of these blocks, so I'm asking for some input on wich ones to get, instead of just looking for the first set thats compatable and buying them. any input from ppl who have or have used these parts would be a nice nudge in the right direction. This upgrade/rebuild is coming together in bits and pieces and I'll put it all together when its complete so I still have some time to figure out what i want.

thanks in advance

no one's had this mobo on water?

d3fct · 11-05-2009, 10:19 PM

well ive decided to get ek blocks for the nb and sb, and enzotech copper passive sinks for the mosfets. gonna order the stuff over the weekend so maybe somethime next week ill have this mobo installed and running, and then on to the overclocking with my 9650.

d3fct · 11-07-2009, 02:57 AM

well hopefully the ek nb block will be here tomorrow, i had an old mb heatsink assembly from an asus rampage that i chopped up for the mosfet sink and the sb sink. heres a pic of the original and what ive got so far.

that looks cool.btw the ek blocks are good choices

LittleLizard · 11-07-2009, 03:01 AM

i was going to say the enzotech also made waterblocks for that mobo for the mosfets.

i think this is the block your talking about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835708023

d3fct · 11-07-2009, 03:05 AM

yea i figured with ek i couldnt go wrong, ill see how it runs like this i dont think ill need to watercool the mosfets, i wont be pushing all that much voltage, might get a fan cooled sb hsf, i run raid. now when i get this together lets see if it can out do my ud3r.

p_o_s_pc · 11-07-2009, 03:08 AM

so your just water cooling the NB?

d3fct · 11-07-2009, 03:10 AM

for now, i just want to test this board out i just got it, if i like what it can do im gonna upgrade my case my video card card n stuff, just testin out some hardware. luckily i have another waterloop layin around, if it ocs as good or better than my ud3r i'll run it all on water.

d3fct · 11-08-2009, 02:56 AM

well its up and running, wont get to any overclocking today took most of the day to teardown my rig and upgrade the nessecary components. dont mind the ugly msi ribbon in the picture, its just for an a drive to install raid drivers for xp install.

d3fct · 11-08-2009, 02:51 PM

i went into the bios and just quickly threw some voltages in and posted at 4.3, ran prime for about 10 mins seems stable. I'm gonna play some games for a few hours and see if i get a bsod, cant wait to see how far this board will go.

prolly wont do too much more oc'n or benchin today, too hungover.

p_o_s_pc · 11-08-2009, 02:57 PM

nice clocks.I'm sure you know this already but if you want to be sure its stable your going to have to run Prime 95 longer then 10mins or run linpack for a few hours

d3fct · 11-08-2009, 02:59 PM

yea that was just a quick test, no immediate core failure

d3fct · 11-08-2009, 08:08 PM

got it up to 4.4 maxed out my 9650 cant get past 490 fsb on eitherboard this p5q or my ud3r.
