nice, i had that kit for like a month. then went for custom watercooling tongue.gif

by the way, aluminium + copper not a nice combination. you'll get cloudy tubes in a week.

mmm, you mean the waterblock is copper and rad is aluminium?
so need to change waterblock or rad something like that?

Bro... for your tubing not being to be completely full, here's a tip that I use.
Very basic is to understand the physics of air/ water/ gravity, this is especially helpful when you wanted to drain your tubes in the future.

So, from the looks of it, if you can try to mount your reservoir higher, you will be able to fill up the tubes... what's happening now (I THINK) is because your radiator too very high up vs. your reservoir and inlet is coming from top. To see if my theory make sense, try tilting you casing sideways and see how the tube fills up itself...

As for your rad, you can mount it outside of your exhaust fan and check how much temp is affected... I expect not too much, and will make your overall loop much cleaner.

just my two cents tongue.gif

tq for your tips, i turn my casing upside down, now no more bubble
