Thought I would share some of pics of my cooling system upgrade with you guys. Here is a pic of the top panel after I moded it and installed the PA120.3, shroud, & Panaflo FBH12G12H fans.

Nice job! I like the your attention to detail. You gotta post more pics. :thumbsup: I've heard bad things about the plastic barbs. Are you going to replace those with the CT barbs?
Nice. Clean. I've had plastic barbs in my setup before. It was a pain in the ass to get the tubing off them. I'd suggest getting some good metal ones.
it don't get any better than that , well done , aned i would also go with the metal barbs
I'm still waiting on the DC-DC converter...
Thanks guys. Plastic barbs are fine. I'll post more pics as I complete the work. Hope your converter come soon creidiki... I'm looking foward to seeing some pics when it's done.
Rad Pron!
:up:
I wish I had the skills to do something like that. Very sweet.
I'm loking forward to it too.
30c ambient today in my flat, small windows so I cant eqalize with outside when the sun shines in. idle @ 41c. Needless to say I can barely use the pc, RD-30 + 120.3 + 65CFM fans would help a lot.
Looking very nice and clean, great job. :up:
Very nice job! :up:
Also don't like plastic barbs...
I have never adjusted the voltage on a meanwell power supply before & could use some help. I have a cheepazz digital multimeter called cen-tech. got it for $6.00 in a yard sale but I think should be alright to dial in the Mean Well power supply. The settings on the meter for DCV are 200m, 2000m, 20, 200, & 1000. what do I set it to? also the red probe can be plugged into two places one reads 10ADC and the other VmA I'm guessing I should plug it into the 10DC. One more thing what do I touch the probs to to take the reading? and do I have to do it under load or not? I think that should about cover it all... Thanks!
Here is a pic of the meter, hope it helps
I am still waiting on a response on how to set up a switch for the RD30 on a meanwell.
Me thinks set it to 200... at 20 it only goes to 20V... at least that is how mine works, also cheap :D
ok then adjusting the voltage I can get 19.8V then the pot bottoms out. nikhsub1 what voltage are you running your pump at? And if it is 17V how do you get it there???
I'm using a criticool power plant to fill & bleed my loop but you can't buy them any more. The company went out of business.Quote:

Mine will go down to just below 18V or so... but they dont all go that low it seems. I run mine at 24v FTW.
Set it to the "200" scale as nikhsub1 stated but use the Black="com" and the Red=V/ohm/Ma plugs. The other is for reading up to 10amps DC "through" the meter.Quote:

Is there a jumper between the +RC and the -RC terminals?Quote:

pump has been running through the night & has dissapated all the air from the loop. I would like to add that this pump creats tremendous system pressure on start-up & shut-down. Be sure to use caution when starting & stopping the pump making sure to have T-line and reservoir accesses secured.
If the switch is placed between the PSU & pump the PSU will be on continously. I would be more inclined to put the switch before the PSU.Quote:

The output of the pump should be at the inlet of the waterblock, not to the radiator.
I like for the radiator to absorbe the heat dump from the pump first.Quote:
