Hey,

I started to set up my first WC system when I noticed the base of my fuzion was pretty dirty, I followed MaxxxRacer's guide for preparing your components and flushed the rad/cleaned the blocks with vinegar could this be what caused this? It was pretty clean when I got it. What should I do to clean it? Do I have to lap it now?

Also what is the best way to bleed this system? (thermochill rad) I've had it running for an hour or two now. How long does it take to bleed completely? Seems when ever I move something more air comes out :shrug:

Components:

D-tek fuzion
Swiftech MCW60
EK multioption res rev2
Swiftech D5 vario
Thermochill PA.120.3

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Currently testing it on my p4 system. 40c at full load, does that sound right?

No air bubbles floating around anymore,except for the tiny bubbles sticking to the side of the res. When it goes into my case it will be mounted on the top panel.

I'm a little more concerned about my water blocks base though.

hahah that towel your case or temporary testing pad. once you set every thing in case, try to keep rad same way as you have now. (keep the bleed screw on top if TC rad) with res highest elevation, D5 as it sits lowest of loop

Only temp :P I was just testing it on my old system.

Another question... Can I use the EK multioption res like this:

OUT



Or do I have to use the ports on the side for outlet?

As long as there is an inlet and an outlet.
