before looking to buy any parts of WC, planning first.. where u going to put your radiator, reservoir, pump.
fyi, drive bay reservoir is not easy to fill coolant.

duralene, tygon & feser all is known branded tubing... Tygon black is expensive as well as feser... duralene is much cheaper....

yes most ppl here get 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD tube.. i also using that tube... duralene 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD

better draw out a layout plan indicate where u likely to put your parts... because this layout plan will help u get some idea how many angle or 45 degree fittings u need.....

dont look down swiftech mcres.. this reservoir much better than those drive bay reservoir in terms of bleeding performance...  icon_idea.gif

I going to mod my whole casing or get a new casing for it . If drive bat reservoir , I will going to get a fill port for it like this : http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/prod...?product_id=735
I also thinking to get 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD before , but dunno which is more better and now I know it . Where can I get Duralene tube and is it clear tubing ?

for drive bay res, you'd be better with a fill port. filling the res without fill port is a pain. clear tubing might get cloudy after a few weeks. i'd recommend primochill tubes, very flexible thumbup.gif

Duralene is clear tube can get from clawhammer.. price reasonable...
Tygon and primochill get from vlad price also reasonable.... but tygon much expensive.

if u like black tube, either get feser or tygon...

the bigger the tube, the faster of flowing.. icon_idea.gif

How about UV red tube ? I plan to use clear tube with uv red dye before that and I saw the post http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/water-cooli....html#post97420

Guys, need help. It's been 3 days since i put my loop back together but there is a big air bubble in my crosshair 4 formula block.

I'm using bitspower water tank z reservoir.

I have:
-removed the stopper on top of the reservoir
-ran the pc for almost 48 hours (bleed)
-tilted the casing back and forth and sideways


Still no luck.

It's in the block, not the tubes (dunnoe whether this will make a difference or not)

Any help/recommendations/comments is highly appreciated smile.gif

Any chance of laying your case horizontally to make bubble go?

my suggestion, connect a tube from the filling port of ur res, lay the case flat, overfill it, and run the pump. Let it bleed... the bubble might just escape this way...

That could also be the problem. I'm kinda suspecting something clogged my EK HF. Because my route is:

Res --> Pump --> Rad --> GPU --> CPU --> Mobo --> Res

So i think maybe there's something stuck in my CPU block refraining water to go through it 100%.

This is where the bubbles are:

Btw, how did you overcome your problem? Did you remove the CPU block and clean it? Bummer! That's going to be a hassle doh.gif

Are you saying I should fill water above my res and into the new tubes? When I turn on the pump, won't water gush out or should I close the tube with a stopper?

Sorry, don't really understand, am a certified noob notworthy.gif

Temporarily using HF which is less restrictive than XT.
Will clean it up and polish. nod.gif

Also using the HF...maybe it's time i gave it a scrub. But what a daunting task that will be doh.gif


Btw, just wondering, could the 90 degree rotaries both from the CPU block and into the MOBO block cos this?
Could the bubbles be there because the rotary fittings increase restrictions to my loop?

Here's a clearer pic if u don't understand:

yes the L rotary will slightly reduce the flow rate but negligible as ur pump is very strong.
clean up the HF bro
