using car radiators...why not?

forgot you aren't in the USA

Tim "the toolman" Taylor is a person played on a CitCom here in USA. He takes ordinary tools or products and makes them more manly by beefing them up

example would be fitting a Jet engine to a lawn mover to soup it up.


I was saying that you have a "manly" pump

might look these over

Houston.....the rad is installed and we have flow!

Went and got the Radiator cap. I've had an on-going problem getting the pump primed (may fix the situation later), so I added a PVC "access" Tee.

There's definitely flow. The 1/2" tubing (attached to the manifold)that's closed off on one end is still bouncing. Life is good. Waiting on UPS and DHL now.

Not sure how much more I'll get done today. Work week starting in the early AM. Expecting to be "distracted" after UPS and DHL get here. Still need to get some other non-pc stuff done too.

Also, not sure what I was thinking: I don't expect any "Over-heating" with this setup, so the rad cap blocks the over-flow port----DUH! ---Sometimes it takes me a minute to catch up!

You just made my day! I just feel like the toolman and many of you here sound like "Al". I can just image the toolman working on my pump and mocking all conventional users.

I can just hope to have better luck myself with my "beefing" up project. By it would seem that my pump has trouble performing to specs with an ek supreme... I'll figure it out sooner or later.

to naja002: happy to hear you have the rad hooked up. As for the cap don't worry: before you can even see any trace of vapor coming from your rad your hardware wil have already gone to the magical place where all hardware goes after their useful life. A place, I might add, where Ati leads and Nvidia can't get even a single card out on time... a place where phenoms can bully intel qx quads in dark alleys and can still manage to run superpi under 4 secs 1m. A paradise for sure...

just joking...
