bleed out !

[bigslappy]

Quoc from PETRA's came thru with that male to male fitting ,
that made the res /pump placement possiable
Tricky get all that lined up right

>>>>>>>>but Hell it works great !!!

Very Easy bleed !!
bleeding on an hour now none left ...... most of the bubbles worked out in ten minutes
gonna let this run all day to look fer leaks

Tomorrow MoBo goes on for testing the works for DOA's

then it's rip the stock cooler off the MoBo & EK & V2 loads on the MoBo more testing / leak checkin'


after that the Iwaki's & the Crawl spacer cooler gets connected to the test bed

at that point I'll have the Temps !!

[bigslappy]

testing on the Tec station i modded revels the MoBo is bad = the #1 PCI slot is shorted .. all day trouble shooting this .. #2 PCI slot works fine but am still gonna RMA the board back to Asus '
used #2 slot & got to load all the drivers & set up my Raid 0 with the dual WD 640's loaded the O/S The QX9770 is FAST == water cooled the thing on the test bed .
I can't wait on the RMA SOO i'm Just gonna order another R/F board & then keep the RMA when it finally gets back to me it's then another build agin But i love doing them I learn something new each time.

Great quality on thos ASUS boards

Looking forward to seeing it run Best thing about it is the buffer for summer you have got there. My crawlspace is always nice and cool Wanted to put the PC there but too many spiders I hate spiders since Arachnophobia... Damn you Frank Marshall

Work faster I can't wait

[bigslappy]

Work faster I can't wait

i'm working as fast as i can But I gotta work overtime just to get the new board but thing will roll fast now ! i got all the parts & NewEgg will get me a new MoBo by wedsday the RMA will take forever as i'm over the Newegg return 30day on the 1st board but i'm gonna get another .. after all Cash i've dumped on the build what's another $275 and still get another board to build on

And they say on the news America is on the verge of recession... Don't notice anything
Great work!! Can't wait LOL too excited in your place

You know not that I am saying it ethical but if the boards are exactly the same and your getting a new one what would tell them as to which board was purchased when for the rma I am sure NewEgg's return would be faster than Asus just thinking out loud And I am sure NewEgg would get faster service out of Asus than you would

[bigslappy]

Big Set Back on this build the Wife broke her leg in 4 places Soo i'm Nurse Radchett for awhile .. Had a R/F mobo went bad /D O A ordered a new while i waited for the RMA ....
