The whole casing has positive air pressure. Air naturally gets drawn up and exhaust out. Ideally having some ventilation right behind of the 240mm rads would get keep the casing a little cooler.

I use Primochill. You can pinch the exterior a little and still maintain the interior rigidity. However, they don't bend well, at all.

aiyoh I comment on it and you edited the post lol


I'm very very wary of using dplug / multiple rotary to make a joint mainly because you are introducing 10+ x O rings around one area. Any one of them fail, you are SOL I am already concerned over having 2 double rotary above my GPU

Nice. I didn't know the last pcie slot can still fit a card. Now that I looked carefully, it seems that's possible!

Nah it's not exactly the same. B would be "slightly" better. This whole water reaching equilibrium thing has been misunderstood. The water will hit equilibrium in due time, but there will still be hot and cold spots in the loop. B is better since pump's heat would be reduced before hitting the CPU. Since it also gives you better tubing route, it's a no brainer not to go with B.

In the picture it looks really tight, you sure there's enough clearance to remove it? If that's confirmed, I'd find ways to make use of the slot

Is that mineral oil? Or Chinese tea?

No physical shop actually sells WC stuff besides PC Zone. PC Zone only shows a small selection of what's available. Most parts come from PPTEK and you would need to get parts from Ezzy/Mat.

Apes is where Ezzy's at. PPTEK is well, right below it.

Guy,

PPTEK = Sole distributor
APES = Dealer
PCZONE = Dealer
CEX = Dealer

Distro = Cannot sell to general public, cannot undercut dealer
Apes = Resides above Apes (physical location)

All the dealers get stock from PPTEK

I get all my stuff from Ezzy, that's because he is more flexible and is closer to me than anybody else. Prices are more or less the same amongst them.

There should be another distro for other brands but I only buy Bitspower, XSPC, and EK

Yes, they are listed as dealer on the site too

Compression FTW. I may wanna sell two black straight compression. Interested?

Barbs are cheap but looks a little ghetto these days

You can easily touch up with paint.

Yes

The pump pushes water as opposed to sucking in water. I've also had some odd problems before. I don't see a res in there, is it behind your test bench? (or is this your casing? )

I realized that if you really want to help the pump get the water going in the fastest and least troublesome way, it is best to create a one way water flow starting from the Res:

Res - Pump - Rad - block (but do not connect it back to the res).

Keep filling water into the res as the pump runs until the water is flowing out of the other end fluidly. You can now close the loop and your water will flow perfectly without the pump pushing too much air or water getting stuck in certain areas in the tubing. If you don't do this, some large air pockets in the tube can cause the water to get stuck...

You can mount the pump however you want as long as the water can flow into it, again, best to leave the water flowing one way and only close the loop when you see water coming out of the other end consistently.

His pump is below the res and everything else, it shouldn't be a problem.

Generally you should have a delta of around 10C so if you run your AC at 23C you should get no more than 33C. My water never go above 31C

Just added a kill coil today.

Get compressions, you can forget about them ever pulling out by themselves.

I have one bitspower temp sensor at the outlet of my reservoir. Gives me an idea exactly what water temp is being fed in the loop
