My first time water cooling

Hmm, Is that true? Cause I read of a few people using them together.

false...

ive been promoting this generic package back when pentosin was first introduced to us. If you see or read problems with this mix, its because of improper mixing ratios.


Pentosin is also highly toxic tho.

just mount the pump so that the inlet faces skyward, using the side of the HDD cage to hardmount the pump (with some sort of foam/vibration-dampener between of course)

yeah, that was my 2nd idea. But I just came up with another orientation, that I like better cause it routes the intlet and outlet tubes in a nice position. (inlet aimed towards rad/ filler ports, and outlet towards cpu)

My only concern is the pump being on an angle. Anyone know if it's okay? (i don't see why it would. it doesn't have bearings that might wear unevenly)

Cool, thanks for the info. I only planned to add very little G11, as I only want a tint of blue.

why did u get 2 fill ports? Kinda of pointless, but it's not that expensive do ur thing. Build looks like mine almost, but i went with a swifttech rad and different fans and more ghetto

[Diverge]

After getting my parts and trying to layout everything; I agree, getting 2 fill ports was a waste of money (only like $11). I was gonna mount one low, as a drain, on the pump outlet side... but I don't want to over-complicate things, maker it harder to fit tubing, or add more restrictions, ect. So it probably won't be used.

can the swifty pumps be mounted at an angle like that? I've always wondered what kind of effects an angled mounting would have on a centrifugal pump such as the 355's or 655's...

I found its better to wait until you get your stuff to plan the orientation because if you do it before when you get your stuff in you will be frustrated at how it did work out or you have to mod things but for me thats the fun part

i have my 655 inverted 90 degrees and can see no negative issue with it. i called gabe at swiftech and he didn't seem very fond of the idea but didn't recommend me NOT trying it. the only thing he said was a major NO-NO was using dye in the loop.

Here is how I mounted my rad.

My only concern is possibly having problems with bends of the tubing coming from the rad going to cpu block (after extending past my dvd burner). I guess I'll know more soon as I put more stuff in and actually start cutting the real lengths for the tubing

I'll try to get pics of the lower chamber up later
