w00t, first!

I'm in!

[Tivon]

Post Comment in Thread to Win Goodies, I Will. :Thumb

[Care^Bear]

Very cool, in for sure ;D

[Race234]

Im in, ya this is cool ;)

[kript]

Hot, I'm in :D

[robodude666]

Hey rodney, got a question for ya. You think you could get one of these in for review? It would be interesting to see what results you get.

[evil_gusgus]

Ill pass since I already won the mars cpu cooler

[werty316]

Count me in.

[slugbug]

I'm down for that :hail

[borschtBomber[SS]]

I'm out on this one, since I'm supposed to be getting one :D

[peti1212]

Wow, another great givaway I must say. Thanks Rodney and Cooler Master. Please count me in. This would be great for some little overclocking, since I still use Stock cooling. :Thumb

[THRASHER2]

Sign me up!!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/THRASHER2/nana.gif

[CoolZoneAlex]

another cool contest made by Rodney!

[Ultimate Gamer]

woot im in! :KICK ASS

[BCR]

Hmm, IMO it should be ; Yeah I'm in.
and, instead of Forget it... (does not sound correct:lmao J/K)
It should be; I'll pass.


And in this case, going with the scheme of things 'forget it' (I'll pass).

Considering I have 3 separate LC kits, there is absolutely no reason --- That I should take away another members chance to try a LC setup.

Although, I do like free stuff..:devil
I feel that being a patron to this site, that others deserve the best for their system (at least a step up.;) ).

So good luck fellows (and being politically correct, I will add good luck gals, as well):Thumb

[robodude666]

Hmmm. How hard would you guys think it would be to mod this to work with a GPU? All you really need is to make a custom bracket I think. Or get hold of a bracket from the viva. Wonder how well it can cool my x1950pro... hmmm

[Davis]

Count me in! Would be awesome to go LC....

:thumb :Beer

[werty316]

Why would you want to use it on your GPU when CM already has the Aquagate Viva (http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=getmorecategory&tbcate=1&f2=9&finalflag=Y&cateid=000011) GPU WC'ing kit?

If you win it (Robo), I will give you a free GPU waterblock (it is brand new, never used).:Thumb
Yes, I am serious. (you will just have to pay shipping)
It is just the block, so you would (or should) need to get Ramsinks.;)

It is from my Artic kit. (still has the protective cover on the block)
Surprisingly, it is actually built very well.

As well, it will come with the mounting clips.

Because why would I buy that if I can mod something I can get for free, silly!

Ohhh, thanks man! But it won't be that easy to replace the block. The pump is built into the block and I don't know how it is exactly attached in there. I don't know if its a full pump, or just a fan that pushes the water around. If you were to replace the block/pump youd need to get a new pump also. In which case you might as well get a dual 120mm rad which is basically a totally custom LC system. It would be cooler to make a custom bracket to attach to the GPU.

[BCR]

Doh, your right.. I did not look at the specs before...:o

Oh well, I tried.:)

[robodude666]

Doh, your right.. I did not look at the specs before...:o

Oh well, I tried.:)

Appreciated though :) Hmm. It might be possible to get a replacement bracket from a GPU water block and make the center hole larger so it can fit on this block and then use the hardware from the gpu block to mount it.

Or turn it into a beverage chiller =D

[Patron]

Great Luck to all fo you :) !

[waterrazer]

mos def im in

[killap4oc]

Drools... I have been using stock cooling on this current build I have... Liquid would be really nice!

[Amdboy89]

Ooh I could totally use this...count me in!

[evil_gusgus]

Rodney, you still have the Nexus PSU giveaway on the main page instead of this one :p

[Saturn2888]

Hey! I'm totally in for this one. Wow...
Robo's giving a free waterblock?

[SAMSAMHA]

i am in for this one.

[elkmanwsu]

ooo I want one. count me in!

[3dGameMan]

Yea, I know. Been to busy to update it, but I will soon.

[robodude666]

Hey! I'm totally in for this one. Wow...
Robo's giving a free waterblock?

Wait, what? BCR said if I win he can give me a GPU water block so I can convert this unit into a GPU cooler. But I said it wouldn't work because the pump here is built into the block.

[Kindom934]

Nope...not this one XD

[Titus]

Wow, that's nice. I choose "in". ;)

[DaveH]

Funny I just thought about water cooling for my PC cause my C2D is 56C idle and 44C when I take off the side panel(preventing airflow from CPU fan)...I would love to win this:D

[DemonicDerek]

Dude I am definetely in I really need one of these for my dad's cpu which I am using now and is currently near the 60 degrees Celcius and that is waaaaay to hot!!!

[DaveH]

Derek 60C if either at load or idle is normal, especially for older CPUs with stock cooling solutions. Processors are meant to handle up to arround 75-90C temps. People who care about CPU temperatures are usually overclockers like myself, I can only maintain a 3.2Ghz overclock o nmy E6600 which is sorta sad...Just because the airflow in my case is horrible/using a mid tower case/huge cpu cooler/side panel with no vent.

[David32]

:jawsdown WoW this a sweet giveaway! :jawsdown

Count me in Rod! :thumb

Would really love to have one of these. Good luck to everyone! :thumb :thumb :thumb :thumb :thumb :thumb :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

[jiggajake]

umm water cooling!

GL HF!

[LowLux]

Yeah In! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[werewolfdaddy]

I've been looking to upgrade to water. I'm in. :KICKASS :thumb :Thumb :camera

Look, to me 60C is way too hot and that is true to many other people as well. I got that trend from the dude who made the website mysuperpc.com which is where I learned how to build a computer.

[DefconZero]

Pretty damn secksy, count me in matey!

[aznlunatic206]

count me in, good luck everyone

[Omen]

Will most certainly be in!

[iRecon]

You can count me in!

[SirKiwi]

I've never tried watercooling my system yet. This would be a great opportunity :)
Thanks for the contest!

[zachig]

Please count me IN!!! :hail

GOOD LUCK everyone! ;)

[LinuxTech]

Another awesome giveaway!! :thumb

[c0d3_z3r0]

I'm In, I've been wanting to get a water cooling kit for my cpu.

[Titus]

http://www1.coolermaster.com/product_common_images/151a15e61d338cc516d425d8225f46dd.jpg


Ooh, look! It comes with its own power supply! :thumb How many watts is it? ;)

:shifty :shifty :shifty :shifty :shifty :shifty

[Saturn2888]

Wait, what? BCR said if I win he can give me a GPU water block so I can convert this unit into a GPU cooler. But I said it wouldn't work because the pump here is built into the block.
Oh. Well that changes things up a lot.

[werty316]

I think CM should have used elbow joints as it would be a bit odd to install:

http://www.coolermaster.com/uploads/product/products_gallery/file1178692713186.jpg

If the tubes were pointing in the other direction it would be very tight against a PSU.

[Saturn2888]

Yeah, that is weird. You really don't need very long cables either. Shorter the cable, faster the water will flow.

[Polytec]

I'm in on this one.

One of these days I'll win something.:spin

[Saturn2888]

Probably. Took me a couple years back in the day.

[Kona]

I'm in....

[GzussTurbo]

Nothing but the best from 3dgameman.com! I'm definetly in! Thanks Rodney!

[tkelito]

Werd. I'm in. Let's do it.

[mrBit]

Nice, I am in

[Race234]

hey saturn they give you the longer leads for a few reasons, a you never know what case this will be installed into and B the more fluid there is in the system the more heat it can retain but the down side is the harder your pump has to work to move said fluid but Im sure they tested this system for a very long time.

[Saturn2888]

Well that helps. I thought it was just because that's where it always mounted. What are other mounting possibilities? I mean, if they're only that long, those are then short cables.

[GMKosMos]

I Am In!
It will be AWSOME to LC this system when it is redone here soon!

Thanks to everyone that has wrote to help me solve some issues I am having it is a big help. I have since Decided Im going to Kick The AGP I bought a SLi board today and 2~XFX 8600GTS XXX cards to go with it The board is the ABIT AN8 32X nforce4 SLI. NOW I need somthing to cool this puppy hehe. Liquid would so rock for that. Thanks again for all the advice, and ya you all were rite SLi upgrade to getting an 8X AGP Board again, it was a little more BUT, for 550USD think I made out good =)

[AJ]

Sick prize! I'm in :thumb

[CrialCrial]

Mr. Rodney I'd love to be in this contest, count me in!

[TONYTHETIGER916]

Good Luck everybody!!

[JustinEss]

Liquid cooling would be nice. So, I'm in!

[Capt'n Carnage]

kickass ive always wanted to go water cooling!

[Squeeze]

I'm IN! This would be great for my new build. 14 days left!

-Brian

[a111087]

I'm in, this is an excellent water cooling! :D

[Twisted_Metal]

Please, please, please ... :Yea right

[DragonMaster]

I sure am in! My computer is going through it's first summer and it doesn't like it...

[DMfromhell]

Cool, I'm in on this one...

[Tivon]

Looks like a lot of people are feeling the summer time heat. :)

[evil_gusgus]

yeah i just noticed how loud my fans are

[a111087]

lol, you just noticed?
it's impossible to not notice my fans... my case is placed under the desk, but it stands on the desk's lower shelf so the whole desk vibrates because my case feet's are plastic(not soft), and then noise reflects off the hard surfaces under the desk...
i can hear my case fans from the first floor while PC is turned on on the second floor...
this is not the computer you want to leave to work at night, someone will have to hit you hard in the back of your head so you can sleep near my PC...
so... who else got noisy computer? :D

[a111087]

forgot to mention:
i also got back up battery, it not only heats up but it also generates some really weird noise.
after listening to that noise for 5 minutes you will want to through it from the window... It really gets on my nerves.

[peti1212]

Yay, I have a really loud one. :) With my stock Pentium 4 cooling and My Geforce 7900 Stock cooling, and as well my 120mm fan with the 80mm fan. I also have two fans on my power supply. I must say if there would be a power plant that could produce power from noise, then the power companies would come after me, so I would generate power for them, it's that loud. :)

[Yessy2952]

Good luck everyone

[a111087]

OMG!!! this is so close! just 7 days left

[dukeman]

another awesome contest

[Saturn2888]

7 days is a fourth of a month. I don't consider that close.

[SirKiwi]

7 days is a fourth of a month. I don't consider that close.
All depends on your poinf of view, say 7 days of a year :thumb

[robodude666]

All depends on your poinf of view, say 7 days of a year :thumb

:lmao Good one :Thumb

Yay! 5 more days now =) Can't wait to see if I win. I could use some extra cooling on my X2 since I can't afford a LC loop for at least another month or two.

:food

[Deus_Ex_Machina]

mmm....water cooling......i'm in.

I wish I can enter in this :(
Good luck to all of you who entered in this.

[CoolZoneAlex]

already built liquid systems are the best

[Race234]

already built liquid systems are the best

well I wouldnt say the best if you do your research but they are decent for the most part and for someone on a budget or new to water cooling.

[a111087]

lol, just a joke, but its just reminds me of the last contest where we had 4 prices, that was very cool, but I didn't win anything still :)

[medic583]

dang... it's the end of June already?

Summer's going way to fast... but wouldn't this be a sweet surprise this weekend...

[Saturn2888]

people, please do not enter, there is not enough prizes! :D
lol, just a joke, but its just reminds me of the last contest where we had 4 prices, that was very cool, but I didn't win anything still :)

I'll put it like this, if we get a junk load of people on the forums, active members who don't spam, I'm sure that we'll have another giveaway with 10-40 items because Rod would be gaining that many more sponsors. More people = better giveaways. Usually, giveaways are meant to bring people to the site though.

[slugbug]

Lat day to enter...good luck everyone :thumb

[slugbug]

Last even :lmao

[tomato]

Please count me in as well ;)

[Saturn2888]

Hey Sluggy, you still winnin' a lot of the giveaways/contests you enter?

[robodude666]

Well, today is the la[s]t day of the contest (:lmao nice typo btw :P). I can't wait for tomorrow :) Even if it isn't the world best cooler it is something. I hope it can be modified easily to work with my Dell's S478 motherboard. That heatsink does nothing but collect dust!

[Linseman]

Alright guys I'm a little late but I'm ready for another win! Good luck to all. Current odds 1 in 72!

[slugbug]

Hey Sluggy, you still winnin' a lot of the giveaways/contests you enter?

Well I won a 550w Mushkin PSU last month(May), but besides that it's been pretty slow.:Roll Eyes

[Saturn2888]

Mushkin's makin' PSUs too! What have I missed?

[Race234]

yup yup good luck to everyone ^_^

Can't wait! Rodney will hopefully post in 10 hours or so :)

err.....it was late so I got all confused. LOL!

umm water cooling

[robodude666]

72 entries. Wow! I think this was one of the more popular contest that wasnt a super-duper-big-fantasmic-xmas-giveaway-thing-event... Oh well :( I hope I win.. I probably wont so meh.

[peti1212]

Good luck guys! :Thumb

[a111087]

how many ppl were in X-mas contest? and was there 40 prizes?

[Saturn2888]

Well that's random. Either way, I made a thread about who's won which contests. That and, you can always check the thread to see who was in there.

Coincidentally, I think I never sent and e-mail and even did a check to make sure. Well... Just did that now. Hopefully there aren't two now.

[peti1212]

In the christmas contest, there were about 120 people entering but about half of that was eligible. I entered that one but did not win anything, and yes there were 40 prizes. What a bud luck I must say. :lmao

[Saturn2888]

Well that would explain why so many of the regulars won.

[a111087]

:jawsdown OMG, that must have made you really think about your luck

[robodude666]

Argh!! Stop discussing stuff in here! Whenever I see someone reply, I keep thinking someone is doing a "congrats to winner" reply and I go check to only find out rodney didnt post winner yet :banghead

[Saturn2888]

Well I guess we should keep typing. I mean, why is there really a thread for this anyway?

[a111087]

hey, Saturn2888, did you OC your eVGA nVIDIA 7600GT (256 MB)?

[Race234]

^^^ lol well thats certainly off topic =p

[robodude666]

^^^ lol well thats certainly off topic =p

Then again, arent most contest threads here off topic?

[Saturn2888]

hey, Saturn2888, did you OC your eVGA nVIDIA 7600GT (256 MB)?
Not atm, but I have. I do it on and off. It depends on if I'm playing Oblivion or not. It's factory OC'd so I really don't care too much. I'll actually be shellin' out some $300 for an upgrade anyway. It's been a year, and I'm gonna try to, every year, upgrade my graphics card so I don't get stuck in the 5 years w/ the Radeon 8500 (128MB) card endeavor again.

Dude, I think I started the OT in giveaway threads back in giveaway 27, the first big one ever for 3GM if I remember correctly.

[CoolZoneAlex]

this thread is i think for discussing about the competition

[a111087]

sorry for OT :D

[Saturn2888]

Competition? Dude, it's a giveaway. We should be able to have a little bit of fun. I guess, discussing the item at hand is always nice, but... Who knows about this product besides Robo?

[a111087]

it's 1st already and 73 people

[slugbug]

Don't forget that today is Canada Day here in Canada.

[a111087]

is Rodney also lives in Canada? when i watched a get-together video on youtube he said "... z ... for you americans.."

[3dGameMan]

UPDATE:
I will select a winner later this evening or tomorrow :Thumb Good luck to all :luxhello

[slugbug]

Ok, Thanks for the update Rodney :Thumb

[a111087]

today!!! :KICK ASS

[DemonicDerek]

What is defined as a US resident?

I mean there are so many variables:

Age (What is rodney's limit and if you say 18 I am going to be pissed if that is the reality, I mean 13 and above should be fine for GIVEAWAYS!!!)

If you were born in the US or not.

Uh... my main concern is the age.

[DragonMaster]

What is defined as a US resident?
Got an address in the US. The product is not going to be shipped out of US or Canada.

There is no problem with age, Rodney doesn't tell anything about this. He doesn't even ask. The only thing is that if there's trouble with shipping, you might need your parents with you if you have to talk with the shipping company.

[DemonicDerek]

Ok sweet or are you just saying that? Lol!

[DragonMaster]

Sorry, couldn't edit post. Got [to have] an address in the US (or Canada)

[evil_gusgus]

You gotta live in one of the 50 states of America

[a111087]

and you MUST be a patriot :)

[Lament]

You gotta live in one of the 50 states of America

Canada is the 51st state as one of my American friend always likes to say

[robodude666]

Canada is the 51st state as one of my American friend always likes to say

52nd technically.. PR "technically" counts as the 51st state.

[SirKiwi]

52nd technically.. PR "technically" counts as the 51st state.
It's also the biggest state :Thumb

[a111087]

should i go sleep or wait?

[robodude666]

should i go sleep or wait?

sleep... Rodney will be posting tomorrow. Most likely after 10am. I am guessing either at 10am, 2pm, 8pm, or 10pm... Hmmm..

[BCR]

should i go sleep or wait?
Did you not see last months contest.....
Go to sleep, if you win, you will have something like 2 weeks to collect prize.


JUST KIDDING, Rodney;)

[Saturn2888]

That's Robo's time btw.

yeah, lol, i remember, it's just i'm SO excited! :KICK ASS

[Kindom934]

On the side note, is the poll bars off a bit? Wasn't like that a few days ago. Maybe it's just from my widescreen resolution, but then again it wasn't like that before (IE7)

[jiggajake]

.....I have a widescreen and seems ok.

[DemonicDerek]

And the winner is... yet to be announced.

Hopefully the winner will be announced/chosen TODAY.

[Saturn2888]

Guys, don't worry about it. Rod is busy, and I'm very sure he's got a good reason for the delay. Either way, if you don' twin, it won't matter anyway. To who will win, that's one person getting it early. This stuff is all free don't forget. You can't force Rod to do something. Like, unless it was say, a raffle or something, then that would be different.

[evil_gusgus]

It's also the biggest state :Thumb

to be technical its bigger than the states

Also for u American's its Canada Day weekend so yeah

[Empty_Quarter]

Is it true that you americans got the entire week off because of independence day?! LUCKY!!! Some guy i work with from San Fransisco told me because July 4th fell on a wed, they gave the entire week off! and we just get a day...

[elkmanwsu]

most just get a day...I'm not sure where your friend is working but I wonder if they are hiring. :)

[a111087]

it depends on where you work, so it's up to your boss.
on my previous work we had to work during all holidays, even on 31 december i left work at 10 PM (even that was considered early)

[Tivon]

And the WINNER is.............. TIVON!




Just Kidding... ;)

[peti1212]

Congratulations viperrcr!

I think people should take pics of their setup after they win them. Would be a cool idea no?

[robodude666]

Congrats viperrcr! Enjoy your prize!

[a111087]

did viper respond yet? :D

[robodude666]

did viper respond yet? :D

not yet :lmao

[a111087]

he has a plenty of time, may be he is just busy...

[BCR]

Congrats Viper:thumb
Hopefully you will put it to good use.....:Thumb

[a111087]

did Viper replied yet or what?

[David32]

has prize been claimed? lol

[a111087]

seems like no...

[a111087]

I say Viper will probably contact in a few days (~1-3)
as for extension, it's up to Rodney
Viper probably:
#1 Forgot
#2 Internet connection problems
#3 Computer died
#4 Doesn't have electricity
#5 Doesn't have water :D
#6 I visited his computer a few days ago :D
#7 Someone stole the ball from his mouse
#8 *INSERT YOUR OWN*
:D

[KusoSamurai]

#8 Busy looking @ p0rn? :lmao

[robodude666]

A more likely one:
#8: Looked at the 29th, which was the last day he was online, and didnt see winners so didnt think he won like every other person who comes on late.

;)

#7 is funny :) Might want to adjust it to also apply to laser/optical mice.

[Race234]

ya but to make those faulty is harder to do then taking someones ball out lol

[robodude666]

ya but to make those faulty is harder to do then taking someones ball out lol

Not really true. Well... yes.. but... When a small hair gets into the line of the laser on my copperhead, the mouse goes crazy and it feels like the mouse had a few many drinks. Nearly impossible to navigate to the place you want to click.

[Tivon]

Cut it out people and get back on topic! :bomb

Seriously, I need everyone to stop with the how long is it going to take [insert name] the winner to claim the prize. I'm sure there are good reason as we have seen many times before there are e-mail issue with spam settings and such that prevent either party from contacting each other. Anyway, we are done with this, this is not an off topic thread and at this point no one should have anything more to add unless you are the winner. So from here on out if you value your time here at 3GM I'd try to resist posting in this thread for a while. I hope you all can understand. Thanks...

[SAMSAMHA]

Congrat To The Lucky One.

[3dGameMan]

viperrcr,

You have two more days to claim your Cooler Master AquaGate S1 Liquid Cooler prize.

[slugbug]

My guess is he's on Vacation.

[3dGameMan]

My guess is he's on Vacation.

Yea, I'm thinking the same thing :( If that's the case, it's unfortunate.

[a111087]

he should have picked the hotel with FREE* Internet :D

[KusoSamurai]

Idk.....when I first became a member the replies I get to threads were in my spam box in yahoo and had to mark them as not spam to get them in my regular in box.....

[a111087]

but why can't he just go to Forums and check who won? or reply here? So, the spam is definitely not one of the reasons...

[Saturn2888]

I never check the forums unless I get e-mail updates or Robo or Race tell me of a thread I should post in. Now, last summer, when I had a lot more time, I was able to check the new posts all the time, but w/o RSS feeds, that's very difficult to do. If you ever get super busy, even with good time management, there's only just so much you can do and that's how I've been for a while now. I can understand someone not knowing they won because I usually get a lot of e-mail replies from 3GM and can't always attend to all of them for a couple months.

[Tivon]

I sent him an e-mail from my work account just encase there is a block on 3GM or Google.

[3dGameMan]

KICKASS idea Tivon :Thumb

Maybe other's will do the same. I'm sure if they won they'd want others to do the same for them. Send the love people! :heartbeat

[robodude666]

Thats not fair! Oh well. Two days [evil grin]. Would be a shame if he went on vacation and missed it :( If I won, I would probably send it to him if it was the case. I don't really have a use for it. My Stock AM2 cooler keeps my CPU fairly cool. 30c idle and 45-55c load (X2 3800+ @ 2.6GHz).

[BCR]

I sent him an e-mail from my work account just encase there is a block on 3GM or Google.

Good going for you Tivon.:thumb You get 2 thumbs up for that...

And I highly agree with Rodney, I would want the same done for me...
IMO, it really is a shame to see sore losers, that hound Rodney in saying the time is up.:Nope

[robodude666]

IMO, it really is a shame to see sore losers

And what are you trying to say/imply by that?

[Tivon]

And what are you trying to say/imply by that?

LOL, C'mon guys.. we need to at least say we did everything possible first. :cool_shad

.... then hound Rodney. :KICK ASS

[CoolZoneAlex]

congrats to the winner.Hope he gets it

[viperrcr]

Hey everyone! Thanks for the congrats!
This will be COOL! I have a pretty good air setup, but been
toying with the H2O side of it all. Now I have a reason to give it a shot! Love CoolerMaster stuff!

Thanks Rodney! :hail
Thanks CoolerMaster! :thumb

:food:beer:banana

[Titus]

One day, 12hr left... What a shame... oh well. Enjoy :thumb

[Race234]

actually seeing how there is soooo much speculation as to why Viper wasnt here on day one of the contest announcements.

Viper could you please explain to us what happened to cause you to be so late?

[a111087]

lol, happy end? :D

[viperrcr]

Just got back from vacation with the family in New Hampshire...
Kids love visiting Santa's Village and some other family theme parks up in the White Mountains!
I always go totally electronics free during vacation, no laptop, nothing.
I get back and check my email...WOW, I was shocked to get the email from Rodney! What an end to the vacation! Maybe I should take some more...mmmm, yeah maybe I will. Getting back to the grind sucks...
I want to thank Tivon for the extra effort too in trying to get a hold of me! Thanks! Your efforts were appreciated!

[SirKiwi]

Finally Viperrcr! Congrats on the win :)

[Saturn2888]

Congrats man! And thanks for telling us! We were all pretty curious.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Congrats on finally showing up!! Enjoy that cooler :)

[evil_gusgus]

[DemonicDerek]

Congrats again! Its like 100F outside I wish just had that to cool my room.....dreams up some water cooling for my bed.

I have something like that dream of yours. Except it isn't water cooling for my bed, it IS a water bed. However I still have to heat so I don't freeze my ass off, but it is still cooler than a normal bed.

[KillerGator]

this would make a great addition to my kick ass rig im building for college because i cant afford a watercooling system...good luck to u all
