dont really matter if u r picky the radiator after pump cause pump produce heat as well so that way it gets the lower temp coolant as possible but yea thats if u r really anal ; ;

let it run for a while to properly blled the system my old system with a swiftech 320 + 240 after bleed will only drop about 1-2 cm of the res lvl but looking at ur pic u nearly fill ur res to the top ; ; half way is a good starting point
*
as for starting, i filled coolant then jump start then off then filled again... repeat & repeat

but until the res getting full.. i cant fill liao.. so i start... wat i saw is massive pull out by pump then coolant from radiator just baru filling back to reservoir... yes, i also feeling that radiator still got air inside....

yes, that's the way. not necessary to fill coolant fully in ur res
just make sure coolant surface exceeds the top tube is enuf.

give u an idea on how the radiator works

btw, what u mean top tube?

as my inlet tube is at the top cap but at the side... meaning terbalik reservoir and inlet at side cap... i know u get what i mean..

is it your meaning is like my drawing?? icon_question.gif

i kinda stupid..

u can do vertical flow with X2 basic and adv only. link
don't think V2 has this kind of bottom accessories.
actually u can route the tubing thru PCI slot opening there but it's going to touch that slot. ur tube is too fat  laugh.gif
*
i try b4, yup too fat cant go thru.. that's y i using pre-hole....

will going to buy another reservoir... money gone liao.

hehe..

eemm bitspower x-station
is all in one fan port and others accessories
like ccfl that used molex power output..

Specifications:

    * Molex 4P Input (Male) X 1
    * Molex 4P Output (Male) 12v DC X 4
    * 3Pin header @ 12v DC X 4
    * 3Pin header @ 7v DC X 4
    * 3Pin header @ 5v DC X 3
    * Lighting via Two Bright LED's

u missed lots goodies.... brows.gif

try navigate back

btw, bro can take snap picture of your backside casing?

because i dont have x-station. so what i do is using 3pin to molex cable (provide by cooler master fans) and connect to psu molex cable.... is it can rite?

nope u just direct plug the 3pin from fan to
the fan port male 3pin,..u can choose either 12v,7v or 5v
output.. from the pic..the left 3pin x4 is 12v..the right is 3pin x4 7v..
the top 3 is 5v..

oic.... what if i using the 3pin to molex connector (Provide by Cooler Master Fan) connect to psu molex can rite?

QUOTE(vladtheimpaler @ Aug 22 2010, 11:36 PM)
hi bro,

there is no such thing as "...but i found out that the res no enough capacity to filled my 420 and whole loop.." in WC...its a close loop bro, u can be using a mullti res 100mm and still run ur loop, or u can even scratch out the res altogether and run with a T line instead...a res only purpose is for ease of use..thats it, u can use big/small/long/short/single bay/dual bay etc doesnt make a difference...ur problem with that setup is bleeding...since ur res its postion that way, means during bleeding, the air buuble has no where to go but up, in your case is the rad..so top potion of ur rad is fill with air..if u do the res inlet/outlet at the bottom, will give u a water line in res, so the air will be trapped above the water line, just unscrew the the top a bit and let the air out..so, either u need to redo the inlet and outlet of the res at the bottom (which is more ideal..) or if u r the advanturous type, maintain the setup, but add a fillport so the air can go out that way, but word of caution, i've done this, its doable but its pretty hard to bleed...
*
oic.. really notworthy.gif
i try to add a fillport 1st see how's going!! if still cant then place inlet at bottom like normal setup..
btw bro, the things is when the pump is off, the water reverse back to reservoir till full and i cant filling again because it dy full so how to tackle this problem.. icon_question.gif

my res is EK v2 type... so i terbalik position meaning bottom cap become top cap... and bottom cap got 2 hole at side... one hole serve as inlet.. the other 1 is filling...

how i filling?? using small tube ( aquarium tube) and use small pot to pour water into small tube wink.gif... that's the only way i figure out..

bro any idea?

u r really WC kaki... only u ask me how to filling res... thumbup.gif

subrok, i think ur loop dont have enough place to let the trapped air out... u can always connect a long tube from the filling point of ur reservoir, make sure the tube outlet is the highest point and tilt the case watever direction u like ( most adventurous and quickest way to bleed ), I always did mine this way, just making sure u tilt the correct direction and didnt spill anything. Oh ya, leave pump on but PC off during tilting.  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
u mean connect a long tube to filling port and make it at highest point (hold by hand) then start tilting casing rite??

ya... u connect a long tube out... tilt the case and let the radiator outlet at top...

and fill the tube full, u will see water level dropping...

ok will try it.. thanks for advice...

how many times u fill your loop?

because from the promblem that u face..
imo seem like u dont fill your loop fully and
and your loop is not enough water to recycle
back to res before it empty..
*
i just fill about 2-3 times only... but after i off the pump, the water reverse back to reservoir till full.. so i cant fill again lo.. then i tot it was full in whole loop... but i just realize i was wrong.

any idea?

QUOTE(vladtheimpaler @ Aug 23 2010, 12:22 PM)
i think hes referring to the trapped air pocket from the rad, pump pushes water into the rad and force air pocket into res, once pump is off, back presure pushes the air back into the rad and water fill the res...

or as Dz said, simply not enough water, pump pushes water into the (almost) empty rad, once pump is off, water goes back down (gravity) and back into the res..
*
yes almost that situation... cry.gif

i only can do right now is fit a long tube into fillport and hold the tube higher than radiator.. filling water simultaneously while pump is on.. am i rite bro?

QUOTE(alan kc @ Aug 23 2010, 12:43 PM)
Haha..r u already changing ur inlet at bottom position?

nope.. i wan overcome this problem 1st b4 change tongue.gif

ya, trapped air in the rad... the setup he done very hard to bleed, need some tilting as radiator on top...

101 for bleeding, air always go to top of the closed water cooling loop as the density of water is higher than air.

wat I suggest subrok is to lay down the case, hold ur reservoir with hand so that the reservoir is on top, turn on the pump, the trapped air shall escape from the loop, and keep filling the reservoir untill full...

alternatif is the tubing method, join a long tube, hold with hand, tilt the case watever direction u think could bleed the air.

anyway, both method need to be carry out very cautiously as it has the risk of spilling the water over ur precious hardware.

Oh ya, and its not about reservoir size... the tiny swiftech micro reservoir is one of the most easiest to bleed reservoir FYI.
*
very good explanation... very thankful all of you wc kaki here...

i will follow your instruction bro...
FYI, i cant hold the res vertically if i lay down my casing due to inlet pipe is measure to that particular length.. what i can do is

1st - lay down casing
2nd - connect long tube to filling port
3rd - pump on
4th - concurrently filling water while pump is on.

am i rite? please advice. thanks
QUOTE(alan kc @ Aug 23 2010, 01:25 PM)
Haha..d better way is changing d inlet at bottom,all problem solve d..haha
*
will do it if i still cant solve the problem. doh.gif

the reason i hold your suggest solution due to i have route my tubing from top to bottom.. performance will drop and messy inside casing like worms..

no reset yet... the only way i will reset if i cant solve the current situation... tongue.gif

haih because my casing small.. big radiator no way put inside.. that's y outside lo at top.. behind also cant due to casing too pendek not full tower casing.

i will follow like lichyetan said.. the only way connect a long tube..

btw, wat bout those guy like DzX, Owikh84, they also set radiator at top rite? somemore 2 radiator.... sweat.gif

how they bleed well.. owikh84 did mentioned to about their rad got bleed screw.. so easily bleeding...

Haha..rad where u place also ok 1..d problem is u need to stop d coolant flow out frm d rad when u off that pump..d coolant wil flow out frm rad coz of gravity if dun hav pressure force that coolant to stay at rad.so if u can control d coolant flow out frm d rad is ok d..hahaha.
*
oic.... meaning after pump off... the coolant must still stay inside radiator la.. not half but full without air inside rite?
kinda hard job lo..

he can just bleed with tubing method i mentioned, then buy a stopper/ fillport, fill the reservoir full while tilting the case. no need worry of air anymore...  thumbup.gif juz like wat vlad suggest...  laugh.gif

bro is it your mentioned like this video?
