cheaper and equal to or better than what you have for fluid: Use straight distilled water with a couple drops (only a couple drops) of biocide like PTNuke.

[jiggyghallam]

What does the PTNuke do exactly may i ask?

[millertime359]

Seeing you are getting the red tube, go distilled water and silver or pt nuke

You may have to make a special order for the additive, but another option is to find some 99.9% silver from a jeweler.

This link: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/XSPC-...o-Refill-Bleed) isn't working right for me, so I'm not certain what you are looking at. The xspc restop with a DDC 3.2 pump will get the job done nicely.

Also I think you will be fine without any kink coils. I bought some too, and never used them.

It keeps algae from growing in your loop when you are using distilled water instead of a coolant.

Coolants are suppose to already contain a biocide.

to be honnest the anti kink coil is just for decoration i know the piping doesnt normally kink acording to a lot of peapole
thanks for your help by the way

the itum thats not workinh is a xspc resi with a waterpum built in but it only has a 200 lph pump what puts me off to be honnest i know that the lang ddc pumps have got really good revews i just didnot know if it was worth paying the extra £55 for it
thanks bud

as i was stating before the conectors i want are thease
http://www.feser-one.com/site/produc...roducts_id=287

but the only thing i wanted to know about them is how tight is to tight when you put the tube on to you take the top nut all the way down to the metal so there is no gap between them brcuse i dont know weathe it will cut the tube or make it split easy
thanks guys

I would just get the xspc restop and ddc pump. It has great performance, so not matter what you throw at it, it should be able to handle it. Those compression fittings are nice, I have some of the bitspower ones. You want to slide the tube down to the threads and the thread the top down as close to the base as you can. A small gap is fine. Those 1/2" OD shouldn't be too hard to tighten down, but the do take a little effort. I have yet to hear of anyone splitting their tube and causing a leak using those.

so do you tighten them up by your fingers only or do you need mole grips to tighten more
thanks for the help

yep, fingers are just fine. You should be able to tighten it all the way with fingers. I wouldn't suggest pliers as they can scratch the finish, and don't really help that much anyways

i have overclocked my cpu q9450 from 2.66 to 3.5 and the memory is now at 876mhz i have been using intel burn test at the max setting using vista ultamate 64bit using 7250mb of memory @20 tests and it was stable
i also ran 200 tests on custom @64 mb and passed again the temps and volts were

volts @1.2
rest of mobo 2 noches above standard volts
core 0 @71c
core 1 @71c
core 2 @63c
core 3 @63c maximum temp using air cooling

temp monertering using zalman zm-mfc2 controller
room temp @27c man its hot today

gigabite EP45UD3R
motherbord @40c by heat sink (thermalright HR O5 SLI/IFX)
memory @46c (temp probe between dim 1-2) for most heat
@2.08 volts 4.4.4.12.

is thease temps and overclocks good for 24-7 use becuse i want it to be good for atleast 4-5 years what do you guys think

thanks for everytone thats helping me on this
