Can you suggest some ideas to start projects on pc water cooling?


There would be a science exhibition at the university next week. I am planning to look for a project related to pc water cooling. Can anyone suggest me some good web resources which would help me get through? Please respond.

Step 1: Prepare your PC

Preparing your machine is the hardest part. Before you can connect your water cooling, you must remove the motherboard of the computer. This means that opening the case and disconnecting all cables and cards of the board. Make sure every time you unplug cards and cables to pull the plug, not the wire to keep the two traits. (Note: Take note of the settings as you will have to reconnect everything later.)

Step 2: Remove the heat sink

Once the plate to disengage and remove loose heat sink. This will have a fan and is in the center of the chip. Be sure not to remove the chip directly on the motherboard. Use a soft, gliding motion because the thermal paste already on the chip has a close bond. Then clean the top of the exposed chip with an alcohol wipe and apply thermal paste (a conductive metal or silicone-based grease that should come with the kit)

Step 3: Install the water block Install the water block using the provided mounting bracket. The mounting bracket will sandwich the motherboard with a bracket on the bottom and top connected with two bolts.As always, and especially with electronics, do not over tighten the screws.

Step 4: Put your PC back together.Then put the board back in the case, and reconnect all cables and cards. Use the supplied clamps to attach the tubes in the water block. If the pump and reservoir are separate components, you must run hoses to each other and then the radiator. (Our Zalman system was easy to work with, since all these elements are combined into a single external drive.)

Step 5: Turn it on.

Now, connect the pump to the power connector coming from the power supply inside your PC.

Step 6: Check for leaks.

Finally, fill the reservoir with distilled water / coolant and main mix system, checking all connections for leaks (glycol inside tubes: good, outside glycol tubes: bad). If everything is sealed tightly, you're good to go.
