So I got my rad + pump for new WC setup. I'm running a few of these different setups to see what kind of temps I get. I'm getting bad kinking because I didn't really measure out the tubing that I would need (knew I was going to dismantle it so I didn't really care).
Gonna leave it up for about an 2 hours and see what kinda temps i get from the water
Ambient = 73f
I got the rad attached in front of my ac vent.
I'm still not sure what CPU block i'm going to go with (most likely TDX universal)
or maybe mp-05 LE universal
I can't find a storm anywhere. Money is somewhat an an issue ($50 vs 75). But I think i'm going with the tdx, it's probaly going to cause it to be 1-2 degrees less, and is $25 cheaper (a 50% increase from $50 if I went with the mp-05 LE)
My first time with a T-Line also. Reservoir IS 10x easier to fill @.@ I'm thinking of picking up DD's Cylinder res and just mount it up top.
Next setup I have is mounting the rad on the side of my case. It can take 120mm fans and I have a shroud for my PA160 so I can use that to mount it.
Some pics of my somewhat ghetto setup.

Did this a couple nights back but the forums were down. I got the best temps from when the rad was in front of the AC vent.
2 hours in front of the ac vent
Ambient - 73f
Water - 68F (20c)
