dont get simple water cooling, EVER, buy a complete proper kit. ive had a little kit on mine, which cost me 120bucks, and my temps went up 5 degrees.............

plus you cant O/C for shits on those things. buy a good silent fan cooler, pref one with 6-9 heat pipes and a nice 120mm fan. wont ever hear it.

and yes, you can adjust all the settings via the config, but it will make the game A LOT harder to run.

thats the main reason why the game runs soo smoothly, its pretty dimmed down even on the highest mode.

if you use one of the lower settings, it will change it to dx9 to run even smoother.

the alphacool is a very very quet kit, the pump is a a in tank pump, so you will barely hear it, but its very hard to get support from alphacool.

my advice is get the Swiftech one, its a lot better, but pump can be a bit more louder.

i have the same pump, it is still more quiet than my air cooler, but i can still just hear my PC.

i run a alphacool radiator, and reservoir, a heatkiller 3.0 cpu cooler, and the swiftech pump. got my cpu OC to 4ghz on 1.32 volt (i5 870) and i hit a max temp of 68dC on a normal day, 25-30dC.

but i do admit my radiator is the weakest one, i only have 2 fans and a double rad.

one last thing to consider:

you will need to be very nifty at fitting it all in your case, water cooling is not for the faint hearted.

buy a proper kit or dont buy one at all.

alot of modding was included in my pc case.

also if your ever interested, check this out:

Frozen Q Liquid Fusion

i will buy one in the near future when i have the cash to waste :)

you will love the gtx570, it runs crysis 2 maxxed out.. and its sooooo quiet even under load, i cannot hear it even over my watercooling setup

buy the most powerful clamps and the best hoses for watercooling, and if your lucky enough to have a BTX case you have nothing to worry about. besides relocating your PSU :P

  • 2 weeks later...

Just got an xbox controller for my pc, booted up this game and to my surprise everything is already mapped out perfectly... cant half tell its a port haha.

Now this might just be me.. but I think I like playing it better with the gamepad!

I've been playing it on my pc for a few days now. Great game, extremely difficult on the hardest difficulty. Have to really use stealth and play carefully or you die with 1-2 bullets.

All in all, great game, really enjoying it.

I'm playing it through on supersoldier (hardest difficulty) but I find it pretty easy tbh. One of the nanosuit modules extends your stealth time by about x2 so you can just stealth, when it runs out hide, wait to recharge then stealth again.

But yeah you do die in a couple of hits so you have to take the guys out one by one if you want to survive... unless you a stealth whore like me :D

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
