Hi everybody
 , i really noob in WC, anyone know how to join the tubing properly, does it need any glue or special things? I brought a WC kit from ngbh bulk, planning to change the pump but lacking knowledge about taking out the tube and reapply properly to prevent leakage, is it just enough using cable tie to tied up the tube? plus, anyone know how to flush and refill the thing without reservoiur???  |

noob question here, where is the best place to place the radiator? i mean outside the case or inside the case? i currently mount the radiator at inside the case at the rear fan area at centurion 5, could it decrease the cooling performance?

QUOTE(uzairi @ Apr 30 2006, 03:15 PM) Use this setup if u have a powerfull pumps. You got nothing to lose by doing this plus its gonna gives some extra oomphs. if using nirox p2800 can use pump----> radiator----->waterblock setup???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.  |

QUOTE(Shah81 @ Apr 30 2006, 08:42 PM) yeah lichyetan, why dont u try both setup and report back here with your result since your setup is almost identical to mine. 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...??? 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. |

QUOTE(Shah81 @ May 1 2006, 12:56 AM) 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  |
