going to start my 1st water cooling project tonight.

got everything i need and have cleaned the rad out already thanks to some good read's on here.

will take photo's of before and if there is a after for you photo hungry folk here.

Just take your time - my first build went wrong as I was too eager to get it filled and didn't check the fittings properly.

I ran the system overnight and found the fluid completely drained out and siezed the pump.

omg....im excited but i will take my time.

Check, double check and triple check.
Hope your doing a 24hr leak test before!
The clips/drives are hard to get to the right tightness, but not to overtighten!

Looks good but get a modular PSU

Schizo · 3 Feb 2009 at 16:38

why ?

i like to have the extra power for the future.

dosent really bother me about a modular psu.

Those fans are pushing warm air through the radiator and into your system.

Schizo · 3 Feb 2009 at 16:41

o yeh !

i forgot to change them around.

ill do that tonight.

does it really make a difference ?

ive got 2 140mm fans on the roof which pull heat out and a 200mm fan on the side which also pull's hot air out.

Hmmm, won't make a large difference, but personally I'd do it for neatness and efficiency
