New sleevings 

those are compression fittings.

you can get those reusable plastic tube clamps (vlad has em). they look pretty nice. if looks doesn't concern you, just use cable zip ties

if got some money, then go for this http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=212017

i just live life dangerously, no tube clamps on my barbs

The alternative of ur setup, which the pump in drive bay will face issues as pump is higher than reservoir.

Its recommended that pump placed below reservoir.

y i saw d gpu inlet frm rev and outlet to cpu??

@speedhunter
congrats on moving to WC bro....  
nice setup u hve there...  

Saw the thread before , but where got sell it ?

I will Pm them to ask them  . Which fitting is the better , Compression fitting or normal fitting with clamp ?

sorry to but* in uninvited but thought i would just share my 2cents which is that the compression fitting works much better. personally, if you are going to buy hose clamps, the garden variety hose clamp which costs peanuts works much better than those sold by the h2o cooling companies.

it doesnt really matter which one go 1st coz close loop will reach its thermal equilibrium.

hi guys...
im just finish assembling my new loop...
so tired lol....
here's some pix :

running leak test!!!





more pic's later coz now still doing leak test....
sorry for the blurry pic's...phone camera lol...  

u can get silver ones in a hardware shop called Mr.DIY.

they sell below rm1 for the silver ones. and quality better than those gold color which sell at rm1 at normal hardware shop.

lol been having that debate with vlad for a long time lol

hmm will test it out

tru dat on the pricey hose clamps..there are a bunch of them now, n cost quite a lot for just clamps (e.g evil's clamp which did not went to prodcution coz of too expensive..but desing being picked up by lamptron..)..parring these clamps with barbs would cost as much as a comp and probably more sometime. most clamps works the same, depends on user's preference in term of what kind of look he wants.

personally i prefer barbs over comp, as it looks really slick w/o that comp ring bump..pairing with a clamp would have same effect..so zip ties for me, those tiny black ones.

vlad

haha,thanks bro... 
really satisfied with this casing...superb!!!
drawbacks only its weight....  
later i will post more...
dont copy my loop la bro...mine noob loop only....
not like yours  
40c??aircond room bro??

yup...ur diagram on the left similar like mine...
except no loop to gpu....from pump directly to cpu...
no moneh to buy gpu wb....

oops.. my bad. sorry bro.  i live in italy so temps are kinda low.

however, even in summer when we get temps of 37°C, i never had temps go above 48°C on my lapped thermalright ultra extreme 120 previously. as a matter of fact, i have not seen temps above 50°C in the last year since i went btx and did some major cabling work on my insides. prior to that i had temps as high as 60°C. still not sure if the difference is due to the btx and rearrangement or just more careful implementation of everything.

still i am waiting for next summer to retest the system under higher amb temps.

juz asking,wht ur current temp...

wht about ur gpu temp?
imo(im still a big noob)...it can make a difference coz d hot water will go thru more area which d water can be cooled...push pull config can help a lot i think
i hope lyn wc guru can correct me if im wrong...budak br blajo

bro, yours is a FAQ…here my take on it…principally/theoritically, bigger dissipation area is always good in term of dissipating the heat (w), so the more rad surface is always good.
but practically, what u should pay attention is your water/fluid temp since that ur water/fluid temp's limitation is the ambiance. Water temp would not go lower than ambiance.
so ur system is good if ur current setup is less than 10c delta (between water temp and ambience), adding more rad surface would yield little significant vs money burned, but if delta is more, than u have more room for improvement, in term of increasing rad surface/better rad + postitioning / fans selection and the likes..
this way u'll see the money burned produce better results due to the bigger deltas.
so in wc don’t pay much attention on components temp comparison in term of evaluating wc sys effectiveness, try to gain better air water delta, than u'll see better component temp before and after.
so its water air delta 1st, component temp second.
this is also a good read..
"WC Myth busted"

+1 and needs cable management

Anyway, want to ask u guys questions regarding watercooling. Dunnoe whether my temps are normal or not so please give some advice/comments.
My specs are as on my siggy. I'm getting 39-41c on idle for my CPU and during load, it goes up till 49-50c. No airconditioning in the room whatsoever therefore, ambient temps would probably be around 26-28c. (I'm in Cyberjaya, quite hot here, please correct me if i'm wrong).

As for my gpu, idle 36-38c, load 55c.

Please advise whether my temps on idle and load are normal or above what i should be getting. Thanks!

mine's between 28'c-32'c,load between 35'c-37'c but only hv cpu loop n no oc...my nb too hot ... n cool n quiet enable,does tht count

any comment on mine? thinking of switching to apogee xt but will that make much diffrent?

Of course outside 

The rad is too big, should be mount at the rear.
