QUOTE(bikz @ Dec 7 2007, 04:29 PM) can the res be situated below the pump...will the pump suck the water out...or have to place it higher? 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... This post has been edited by amd_hardcore: Jan 9 2008, 10:24 PM |

Just one golden thumb rule ...
Do it with cautious and test run it for a day before putting it in action ... check all the barb and tubes for absolute leak free .. . |
