i'm curious whether a G5 pump is sufficient enough to power
An Apogee, MCW60, MCW30, BI GT240 + BI Gt120...
Need advice and comment from pro here...
still in process building my own set...
reason i get a GT240 & Gt120, so i was able to squeeze all in a midle tower case.wit mod of course.

ps: a Hyper on an EXPERT ??

huh?? apasai???

ok. got it...see if i can change my apogee to soemthing else..
But then again...
STrom vs Apogee. not much different but price...

the thin top..hmm.. seems like they have gone thru some serious test n test over 40psi. and hammering it..no fail..unless.
i very unlucky la..

Pro is i got a low restrictive block..aint better flow is better???

my thought of getting another RAD is..get it this way...

PUMP > GT240 > GPU > GT120 > CPU > Chipset > REServoir > PUMP

or
with splitter??shorten d loop. but still high same restrictive.

PUMP >GT240 >GPU>CPU> Reservoir>Pump
>GT120 > Chipset >

i would fill d rad with water.. and make sure the loop from pump> rad dun hav bubbles.. then fill d res with as much water as u can.
then pump it up to move d water thru out d loop..
stop d pump and add more water...
tats how i did it..
else rad will easily catch bubble..u'll know when there's sound of water splashing d metal rad wall.

how u fill the radiator with water, pls give me a guide... cause myh method almost same as uzairi...
*
eh.. i place at d position where d inlet outlet of rad is at the top most of d rad..
fill it thru d res la.. dun screw fit d res and pump in position 1st.. so u can juggle with these 2 to get d bubble out..

my loop is Res > Pump > Rad > GPU > CPU > Chipset > Res.

so i left my waterblock aside. dun bother they hav bubbles. cause it doesnt mind once d pump start flowing..
just juggle shake both ur pump and rad to move d bubble out..

then.. fill d res till full.

power up d pump. get d whole loop fill with water..

yeah..there migth lotta small bubble trap in d loop. wait for them to recess..
then check ur Res > Pump > Rad loop.make sure there's no trap bubble.

u'll know if there air in ur rad as. once d pump is pumping. it will make sound noise. water splashing at rad wall as said..
then start pump again.. 1-2 time it should be fine gua..

thats my way la.. though 1st timer...
can refer watercooling pic in d forum. my setup..
and noted i place my rad at the top most position. so.when i did tat. i eventually turn my casing upside down.. hodling pump and res with both hand..juggling them..hehe..

eh.. maybe comment from more experience user are good..
SIFU SIFU..

d redo didnt help on temp..
haha.. i redo so tat can fit nicely tightly la..
b4 tat there's 1 tubing a bit too short n tend to bent badly.
and 1 switch the tubing from n to rad so i can save up some length and hav a good control over d tubing routing.

noted, the tubing still crowed over my PCI connector to GPU.
which i can avoid.real tight over there.

those china made pure copper cpu block ok a??? only cost rm70 in china (RMB150)... my bro in law saw 1 ther... still planning to try my water tank wc.. my room is in the middle of renovation... hahaha... i've changed the tank size to 200 gallon... i'll juz run tap water... the big water pump confirm functioning... n it got control for adjustment...
ok, since i oc my proc sumore (e6600 L631A) at 400fsb x 9 @ 1.5250vcore (bios), idle near 50 load near 70... i'm not sure if running on air cooling is feasible... i like to know if any1 has experience with big big air cooler like thermalrite ultra 120 extrem is capable to do so??? n will simple wc kit consist of good cpu block (swiftech/koolance/DD/etc) with single 120mm x 120mm radiator + 1 x 120mm fan with silent pump can perform better??? i don't want major noise... so both my prospect solution only consist 1 x 120mm fan... my case has 1 x 120mm fan inlet, 1 x 120mm + 1 x 80mm outlet...
*
better dun take d risk..
get a better one. swiftech , DD or EK...etc

not very pro..
but maybe a good as swiftech CPU block, 2x120 rad. make it 2 x120 fan. get a fan controller.. 1/2" tubing. silent pump, D5 should be good and reliable.
as for 2x120mm rad. maybe is a good choice for future upgrade. if u wan add a GPU block.keke...

BTW..wats the 80mm fan doing in ur case? sucking air upward???
just remove it if unnecessary. smaller fan, higher rpm = more noise.
