Watercooling Help

[Danno]

eXtreme Flow Designer is a liquid cooling system scheme and flow indication tool. We tried to keep it simple and not to use different types of the same components: reservoirs, radiators, fittings, etc. For example, it doesn't matter which reservoir you use - you will have a general idea on how and what to connect. Regarding T-Line, place it as close as possible to the highest point of the loop (better for bleeding out the bubbles). Some images contain T-Line at the bottom of the case - it's just for the clean image display purposes. People say that order of the loop does not matter because the water temperature is fairly even throughout the loop. At least we would recommend to put block right after the radiator. Here is one of the best water cooling guides.

nice find, i think it said something like that in my water cooling manual, but seeing that i didnt read it, im not too sure :D

yep, block after the rad wherever possible.

Lots of discussion on this topic, but I think it should be pump->rad->block->res->back to pump for most people.

Mine is pump->rad->cpublock->rad->"soon to be inserted gfx block"->res

This post looked interesting enough for my first.

RES-->PUMP-->[split]CPU1/CPU2-->RAD-->[split]GPU1/GPU2-->RES

Swiftech Ultra+ Dual Opty275 & 7800GTX SLI. Works a treat.

Danger Den water collong for me FTW.

Does the hight matter?

Can I be like this.

With the pump it will most likely be on the floor next to the res and rad. (big case.)

[Taxation]

what case, this would help visualise what is going on in that picture :D

stay away from D-Den, i've seen in a forum many of there blocks, theyve changed there 'milling' progress or something like that, and apparently its awful. Apparently EK are the best :) thats what i think too :)

[Taxation]

ive heard great things about dangerden

[teknokid]

yeah, but apparently lately its gone down the pan for them.

[GN]

its a coolermaster stacker case. Original.

[teknokid]

just remember the res needs to go above the pump :)

[GN]

Why???????? Also the pump will go on the floor btw so there might be a slight up hilllnes of the res from the pump.

[teknokid]

all the pressure is lost in the res, so it needs the help of gravity to get back to the pump.

[GN]

But the pump will be in line with the res so there for it will always have liquid there to suck. Also when the pump gets the liquid to the top, gravity will also help it down along with the pumps force. So there for it should get forced into the res

[teknokid]

lost me there, but im sure the res goes above pump.
