yes sir,i am aware of that issue on the gtx block. i already have the copper top and will change it if i have spare time. right now im using a strong concentration of feser base anti-corrosion additive as a prevention.

thanks for a warning. ;-)

perfect, just making sure you are aware. with the new top you dont have to run any anti corosive just so u know.

. I was thinking of doing something close to what you are doing except with a different lian li case.

It makes me cry to see screws scape paint X-X. Such a little detail, but it was an eye sore in my case, and it always catches my eye.

There you go phillip..hope this shows you enough.

Yeh I reckon it makes a big difference too, If i turn the low RPM fan off, it gets very warm to touch, but with the fan on it's cool as. The same can be said with the low RPM 120mm Yate loon fan on the ram, I have a OCZ ram cooler that made to much noise and didn't fit well at all, not to mention cooling was nothing to write home about. I reckon I might try and bling it up a bit and make a easy mount for it..........anyone interested.

Nothing glamorous, just well working system. 360mm radiator for CPU alone is overkill but in near future I will put GPU and NB in the loop too.

Block: Ek-Waterblocks Supreme, Pump: DCC 12V, Pump top: Ek-waterblocks, Tubing: Masterkeel 7/16", Fittings: 1/2", Radiator: Magicool 360mm slim

i had a look at threw most of these , theres some amazing setups there.
but one thing i dont get is , alot of these setups run the pump line into the cpu then rad etc then some others run the rad first into the cpu then res then pump etc.
which would work best? i was going to setup mine like this -rad>cpu>res>pump>rad .hmm not sure now.

**Jamestuk** · 03-24-2008, 07:42 AM

loop order shoudn't matter too much. There is only a few centigrade difference anywhere on it. Go for a setup which will give the least restrictive flow (ie. not using right angle barbs) and which looks neatest!

Shortest tubing run is generally > component order

you wont really have any perfomance gain at all between 1 set up and another, the water temp kind of balances out.

I like the look of those copper corner tubes. I spose you could call them right angle bends, but they seem to do it with a nice even flow and not the harsh 90 right angle you get with the rest. They really seem to be the way to go. Where did you get them from?

**Boogerlad** · 03-24-2008, 04:44 PM

you can get them from home depot in the plumbing section. they are called copper elbows. you can also get copper tees which are copper tlines

lol, you don't recognize simple plumbing when you see it do you?

I guess working at a hardware store helps, but still.

**MayDay84** · 03-24-2008, 07:25 PM

Yeah, they are ordinary solderable plumbing corners meant for 10 and 12mm copper pipes.. And that's true that they're good for the flow, it was my reason to use those..
