1.can the res be situated below the pump...will the pump suck the water out...or have to place it higher?

ok....put the res same line as pump....now got one more prob....

2. i underestimated the capacity of my radiator....so no i got small air bubbles everywhere...

Answer is no. Waterpumps for WC do not have suction pressure sufficient to perform such capbillities. And the poor pump is in the danger of being damaged since WC pumps are never meant to run dry

Air bubbles can be eliminated easily. Firstly make sure all clamps are tight. How to know? Check at where the clamps are located. Is there a bubble build up? If yes, reposition the clamps so as to get a tighter clamping pressure. Next would be the radiator itself. Try rocking the radiator abit to get the air bubbles stuck there to release itself. After that it's a matter of letting the loop run continuously and see how it works out. Usually after a couple of hours the bubbles would end up in the reservoir.

Gigabyte Galaxy WC kit is good , but its perfomance still can't COMPETE with Swiftech , Dangerden , or etc... because i have used the Gigabyte kit. you can see my signature what disaster happen to me

but i will suggest u to fork out at least RM 600 to 900 for WC...

u can ask a forummer name METALZONE... he sell those wc stuffs...

i'm wondering..is a 2 x 120 rad sufficient enough to dispate heat from lets said a Quadcore CPU and 8800 GPU ???

with a loop.

MCP655 > 2x120 rad > MCW60 > Apogee > Res > MCP655

yeah.. old Apogee. not the GT version.
