Got me water cooling running, few questions (Btw 50z not DOA)

[Grov]

Hey wassup guys. Well after Bruce told me to check the wires, i found that the wires were the wrong way round in the molex, now ive changed em, it's ok.

Right well ive got the setup done, ill post a few pics for you guys to check out.

Right, well i filled it as much as i could, then turned the pump on and completed filling it. Iam using the Xerex racing cooling stuff and de-ionised water. The whole system only needed a tad over 500ml, is this normal? i didn't use much tubing i don't think?

Anyways there is also some white stuff at the top of the water in t-line, but it seems to be going and when i tap the tubing.

Lastly, there was loads of air in it, it seemed to go within a minute or two, it seems a lot better now, is this the norm?

Go the paper towels in places, hehe ignore them!!! :p:

That foam always seemed to show up when I used a t-line.

Yeah, air bubbles are fine if they go away. T-lines make it take a bit more time than a reservior would but it's not big deal.

I feel compelled to ask the ever futile "what is your temps" question.

The PC isn't even on yet mate, hhe iam just leak testing and stuff.

Kinda scared to turn it on, lol. :p: I still need to sort stuff out like brackets for fans over me vid card and memory, and where iam gonna put my dam fan controller, hehe pobly have to be floppy bay.

I might just buy one of the 3.5Inch floppy drive fan controllers, are they any good, i have the 5.25inch one and it seems alright? No drive cages left.

[Grov]

This is what i meant;

I have the 5.25 version and it doesn't seem to tick with me San Ace fans at 7V.

Maxx what do you think? i know you told me to get a rheobus, but i can't fit it anywhere.

[Nettwerk]

When you mount your radiator on the top of the case, how do you get the airbubbles out of it?

[MaxxxRacer]

grov, not having a fan controller is fine if you dont mind the noise..

personally as far as fan controllers go i swear by the sunbeam one as its one of hte few that doesnt use the wierd way of adjusting the voltage (cant remeber the name of it).

btw glad to see that your 50Z is not DOA. I thought as much.

[gillll]

hey man nice pictures :D which radiator you have?

[MaxxxRacer]

Its a weapon heatercore + shroud.

[gillll]

passive cooling ?

[MaxxxRacer]

no.. the fans are up inside of it.. hard to see thats all.

[Grov]

Yeah maxx, but i definatly need a fan controller, they are way way way to loud at anything over 7v.

I hope it will be alright, should be it's just smaller than the 1 i have.

Just my dad luck, got the setup up and running, went to format, and my dad hard drive is borked.

Orderd a 74Gig Raptor anyways. :D

[MaxxxRacer]

mm. i love my raptor.. makes things run nice and smooth.

[onesaint]

ive got 2 of the 3.25 vantec nexus controllers and they work great. btw, wheres the air being cooled from to cool the rad? and where can one of the infamous weapon heatercore + shrouds be purchased? im aware their custom.

[Grov]

Ok, cool yeah i should have 1 arriving soon.

Erm well the fans are on top of the shroud and core, and they pull air through the core, and out of the case, i think ive got it right hehehe, i know it sounds wierd, but i was told by everyone this is the way you do it in the roof.

[spatman]

Hey onesaint, check out my weapon monster core...

Love this monster core (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=28893)

4 120mm fans!! (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=28894)

I have to thank both Maxx and Weapon for helping me get this thing built!
