After a Long Day here is final V2000B...

I ended up redoing my entire watercooling setup today and would like to share the end results with everybody...I added a Maze4 to my loop and I must say I am VERY impressed with the results. My video card used to idle at 53-57C after adding to fans to my side panel...now....bliss! Just want to thank everybody for helping me out hope you like the pics...oh yeah 1 more thing...today was the 1st time I had cleaned my storm block and what was inside still remains a mystery:

Ewww, thats gross :p:

what! have tou been doing something... sexual to that block?
:p:

guess its leftovers from the rad!

probably, that stuff tends to congeal when you mix it with additives.

Looks like limescale or something. Did you use tap water in your loop?

Omg you just cum on your CPU waterblock? lol j/k...

never used anything but distilled..prolly from to much hydrx...not this time I put 2 teaspoons in a whole gallon of distilled...cleaning that storm made a big difference...I can actually see water moving through tubes...

LOL :woot: :toast:

Yeah, I've lost all patience with additives. They just produce gunk. When I finish tearing down and rebuilding my loop it's pure distilled all the way, baby.

Seriously grinch, i *literally* lost ALL of my dinner just now. But you know better not to use excessive amounts of Hydrx eh? ;)

oh yes....and the bottle says to empty into 1 liter of distilled....never again...very small amount...

Wait, wait...let me get this right...you emptied the whole bottle into 1 litre?

I did that the 1st time I ever watercooled...not again

lol good thing u learned ;)

i know people who could make the same mke over and over again

(i dont like zerex because it stained the :banana::banana::banana::banana: outa my tubes... and it turned into some type of wild smoothie when i emptied the loop with the Iwaki on)

Lol

It's common with storm block. You really need to clean it every few months :)

idk why, but all of a sudden i feel the urge to go and buy a storm... lmao
'

for more work and hassle...LOL:toast:

lol ive redone my loop 5 times since i set it up 2 monthgo... this monday will hopefully be the last time for a while

So is just plain distilled water the best thing to run through your system? I thought those additives help with heat too? Also, what would you do then to make your water UV reactive? I'm new to water cooling and I don't know much, but I've read MaxxRacer's Guide (at least up until he starts talking about how to prep your system, since I haven't gotten all of the parts yet to prep).

Also, I've gotten the Alphacool Laing DDC-12V Ultra water pump with its resovoir that sits on top of it. Should I keep that resovoir since it could help with the flow of the system being right on top of the pump, or should I invest in a different resovoir?
