If it's got silver end caps, I'll guarantee that they are aluminum. AC did a change over to the POM (Delrin) shortly after I got mine, many retailers had the older aluminum ones long after the switch which is evident in the fact that one got one and they made the switch like 2 yrs ago. Unfortunately, many retailers don't understand the products they sell and more or less copy/paste the manufacturers product page without really checking to make sure the product they are selling even matches the description.

There's no direct connection, they just behave the same. I bought one of these despite knowing it had aluminum but quickly came back to my senses and yanked it out after ~1 months use. The only liquid that touched it was PC ICE and water. After about another 4 months of sitting on top of a box full of spare parts, it did this all by its self. Not really sure why the hell I'm holding on to it though. :shrug:

Asus finally wised up and made the block out of Cu instead of Alu. The new heatpipe system uses Cu, the old is Alu.

Now only if we could get them to change to 1/2" barbs.

was playing around with the tubing, and found the little clips on the bottom of the Zalman case, which BTW was for HDDs, clamps onto the 10/8mm really well... and frankly IMO it looks much better then if I were to just have a short tubing stright from GPU > NB :D

And thanks :)

@ natech: nice rig mate, i'm liking it :cool:

@ eternal_fantasy: Some nice hardware you got there! One question, is the GPU block a Zalman, and if so is it Aluminium? If you answered yes to both those questions, you might want to watch the loop very carefully :p:

Thx skinnee
Now if they could just make it 1/2 like you said, it would be the perfect heatsink city.

@natech, that looks great as is. It's gonna look awsome once its finished. btw was it difficult to bleed the system with the pumps almost at the highest point? Or did you just tip on the side?

@eternal_fantasy. nice hardware, looks good too.

Thanks all for the comments.

IanY, im going to take this thing apart in about a week or so, I hope it last that long. When rebuilding im going to remember your comment and maybe use zipties. Or better yet, one of these:
http://www.coolputer.fi/tuotekuvat/1083.jpg if I could find them in finland in right size and reasonable price.

callen_1, it was surprisingly easy. I had to place the case to many different positions though.

Five euro's?

Zeus that was fast. I edited that cost part off like in 15seconds :)

I'm tempted to buy something from aquatuning too, becourse we don't have that good shops in finland. I didn't even find right size screw-on fittings.
Found them on aquatuning though, they cost 5,99 EUR/piece in there.
(16/13mm screw-on fitting straight G1/4"). As it is pretty much but I think the price is still acceptable for something as cool as those :)

Thanks for your help :)

So confused on what to do, got the TFC Xchanger 360 Triple in my Cosmos S.
The radiator is so big that it won't/can't fit under the hood of the case. So my
Noctua fans are blowing heat away instead of blowing air from underneath.

The thing is the TFC Xchanger 360 Triple is the best radiator, but now it's not
cooled properly. My second choice would have been the 360 thing Black Ice with the
Noctua's underneath and on top under the roof for optimal cooling.

Any suggestions?

If you only want to buy those, you can e-mail aquatuning and they might send them to you in a letter. When I tried ordering them through the normal shop, I was quoted €27,50 for shipping, but this might be because Switzerland isn't in the EU.

Looks like a flattening tube to the pump inlet...may want to put a UV reactive cable tie there :D

I wish you luck in finding those compression fittings here in Finland, they do sell em in Coolputer.fi etc. but biggest size you'll get is 11/9mm and your tubing looks more like 3/8" or 1/2" it's a bummer we get so limited amount of good WC parts here.

I know this ain't a sales forum but if you are interested in some Feser 1/2" ID 3/8" OD compression fittings like these http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/imag...ture%20200.jpg I have 12 pieces that became useless after I downgraded tubes for a mATX build. Shoot me a PM if ur interested I live in the capitol area :)

If it is true is smooth in a little but this is a very closed the angle of the pipe. Unfortunately I did not find a better place for the pump

Either way not cut circulation and affects very little power is controlled this Angulo
