Why do you have 2 T's?

Coolant + AA, are you gonna run LEDs? or is your computer out in lights?

<3 FB barbs. There absolutely great.

Everything else looks good, but why you getting 2 fill ports as well?

oh future adds.

So what are you cooling this pass. You kept changing your objective.

You going straight cpu for now? or you want to try get gpu and board with it?

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Just the CPU for now. Did you see my pic of the res with the pump? Did i have that right?

 

[aigomorla]

yup.

Theres only one way it can go. If you mean feet at the bottom, dont worry, you can have them in any direction, so if you need to rotate the top 90 degree's go ahead.

How about a inline temp probe? you need a DD Derlin T and a Bitspower Temp probe with temp display monitor.

This is why the Kaze Master is awesome. It has fan controler and 4 temp probe slots.

Other then that your ready to go.

You have rad + res + block + tubing. Any LEDs? And did you want a colored coolant?

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I didn't know about temp probes. What key word do i search? Where would I get one at?

What should I use for coolant? Is one better than the other?

You get a DD Derlin T. Plug the Top inside with that.

You will need a display unit. You can splice the cheap ones to it, or you can buy a bling fan controller with a temp probe area you can just plug into.

Heres how mine looks:

The sensor would go on top of the res right?

I'm going to need an idea for my flow sooner or later. What items go where in the loop?

That's a cute little sensor. I prefer a standard output though. 😉

And what would that be? I'm new to all of this 🙂

 

[Rubycon]

Standard 20mA output for instrumentation. Looking at the prices of the PC stuff you'd be best to stick with that! 😉

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Do you have any links to any products as in your suggestion?

 

[Rubycon]

Omega Instrumentation

I think the other attractive aspect of my H20 setup will be the silence it brings 🙂

EDIT: btw, I bought an Acrylic top EK Supreme. I am doing some reading over here and the guy says, acrylic tops eventually crack. How often does this happen??? Should I send mine back for a POM Acetal top?

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I just got about 99% of my parts in. I'm leaving the other 1% for the things I may want to get still like a 90degree angle Fat Boy or other parts. But, I am on my way to the next step which is after the imagined loop setup. I've got an idea where I'm going to place my radiator and that requires some drilling into the case. My concern is the sharp edges left after the drilling. Where can I get that edge protector (that thin rubber like material)??? Or what can I use in place of the explained edge protector?

 

[aigomorla]

dont overtighten and it wont crack.

also keep the acrylic away from alcohol and it wont crack.

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

So, I'm debating a new case for my H20 setup. Any suggestions??? I have the MCR 320 & MCR 120 swiftec rads...

Thanks

ouch yeah i had a couple of friends in OH that got hit hard.

first guess would be rocketfish, or stacker T01.

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Can't find any rocketfish cases

I got one! sent pm

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I was looking around for cases today and decided to check out Lian Li's web page and seen they have a 'Modding' section and this is what I found.
