Nice rig Dusty.... where is the water pump? is it built into the floor stand unit?
you have alot of hose and im thinking you don't have a strong enough pump to move that volume of water.... did you tilt the radiator to see if there is air trapped in the radiator?

also that is a passively cooled rad, that could be a problem !

can you make the hoses shorter if you can then do make

if you have any money get a better wc setup been reading reviews on it and some say it developed some leaks and pump might be an issue

you dont want them too tight, just a little slack, perhaps possibly route them better lol.

i say building your own water setup is the best. But if thats too much hassle here is a really good one already put together.

Fullinfusion,

The reserator has a water pump built into the tower. I heard on newegg that the built in water pump was not strong enough. But i had only two choices in here either the Zalman reserator or the Gigabyte Galaxy. So went with the reserator.

Yes, I did shake the reserator and there r no water bubbles in the hose. Planning to buy GPU water block for my next upgrade. Hence didnt cut the hose.

Btw...How would it be if I were to add a secondary pump (swiftech)in the middle of the circuit. Has anyone tried that? Would that increase the flow rate?

you don't wanna shake the rad mate.... if you can lay the thing over so its laying flat as long as the pump wont cavitate the water.... is there any way you could just by-pass the on-board pump and install the higher volume pump?

Not unless I dismantle the whole unit and fix another pump! But how would adding an additional pump in the circuit work? Any thoughts on that or has anybody tried that?


Thnx for the replies, btw!!

But any way... yes it will help.... how much? know one knows...
Is there any way to get at the pump and remove the lines and set anouter pump in?

SWEET BRO CANT WAIT!!!!

here you go, just put in my 120.2 rad. this is for now, these effin' i7's run extremely hot bro, but for now it'll get it done.


What I plan to get in the future is a BIX 120.4 rad with a new pump/res and 1/2" tubing :), that should keep it cool.

F'n beautifull bro!!!! one suggestion though.... remove the twin fans from behind the rad... it's causing the air to do weird shit and not let clean cool air thou the rad!
i may know shit about certain things but i can tell ya about the water cooling.... if you dont wanna remove both fans than unplug the one closest to the case and run it for a bit and i bet your temps fall at least by 4c

sorry it took me a few days to give you a mark06 bench CP so here ya go!!! nice and stable :D

Brad thats nice bro, not bad of a score of all, I could only imagine what that card would do in my hands :)

Well two "fans' you are talking about, that is empty, its just the border. so the fans working are the ones you see pulling thru the rad, its the only way I can mount it.
