I dont quite know the exact age because i bought it 2nd hand. Now resting it and maybe i'll try again later.

which setup better????
pump----> radiator----> waterblock----> reservoir----> pump
or
pump---->waterblock-----> radiator----->reservoir-----> pump

plus one more thing, i currently using syscooling wc kit, after i take out the tubings, the host clips cant be reused, so can i use zip ties on the waterblock pump and radiator, plus tt coolant is non-conductivity????

Use this setup if u have a powerfull pumps. You got nothing to lose by doing this plus its gonna gives some extra oomphs.

pump----> radiator----> waterblock----> reservoir----> pump

Use this setup if u have a moderate pumps. This is because the restriction will kill the pumps preassure and thus reduce the effieciency.

pump---->waterblock-----> radiator----->reservoir-----> pump

Zip ties can be used,no problem at all. Be sure to tighten it so that no leaking will occur. Its best used for the tubings. Coolant, 1 cup will do since it gives the anti corossion and some uv effects only. Too much and it will dillute the water giving extra restriction.

i plan to buy TT uv tubing & uv coolant from moderno
changing all tubing to uv sensitive
the stock liquid is blur and have settlement especially near the radiator

i hav modified the wc system, the radiator put outside the rear of 12cm fan hole centurion 5, no clip nor zip tie apply but no leakage until now

juz change the tubes with the one bought from hardware shop will do... save $$$

if using nirox p2800 can use pump----> radiator----->waterblock setup???

ok...thx... ugpm

i think with syscooling kit you can use either setup. i've tested both setup with mine (with Nirox P2800 too) and dont see any difference between the two setup. i think the syscooling kit is a very non-restirctive type. it all comes down to the placement of your components. the way i mount my radiator and pumps, i have to use the

pump---->waterblock-----> radiator----->reservoir-----> pump

to use the other options, i have to lengthen the tubings too much and i think that will hurt its performance

Now its in good condition but who knows later what might happened ? Using zip tie is just a safety measurement taken to prevent leakage.


lichyetan : Maybe u can try both setup and see which is the best ?

//offtopic... got any1 here wanna sell off their niroxP2800?

yeah lichyetan, why dont u try both setup and report back here with your result since your setup is almost identical to mine.

oh btw....i'm also using a zip-tie to secure my tubings. you can get away with zip-tie on the pump and radiator but make sure you use zip-ties on all blocks. the syscooling blocks have a very short barbs. the tubings have a very limited space to grab on.

can get away with zip ties??? sry i dun understand, u mean using zip ties on pump and radiator or not neccasary to use on those 2 but a must for waterblock...???

yes...you may choose not to use zip-ties on the pump and radiator. but for the waterblock, i highly recomend that u use a zip-ties because the barbs is very short. but to keep it safe, just use zip-ties on all connections. zip-ties are cheap

yeah bro, i got loads of zip ties, actually before tht i finding for the host clip for 1/4" ID, but most shop selling 1/2 host clip and it's hard to find... so knowing u all using zip ties would be a solutions for me...thnks u all!!!! btw, gonna setup my wc kit wif nirox pump after i get my tt water tank at tuesday.... will post reply after i try diffrent setups

bro..where did u got ur Tt water tank?
