I have Michelin Crossclimate+ fitted on my three series. More than enough grip in the dry for use on the public roads, IMHO. They work superbly in the snow as well. No issues to report with them. I would not class myself as a "gentle" driver either. I like to make good progress. My other RWD...

Saying that, EKWB don’t list the seal of their spares page on the online shop. I think you may be waiting for EKWB to send you one, so I would launch that process ASAP.

OCUK sell spare seals for the fittings, so I would give them a call and see if they have the res seal, but don’t advertise it on line.

Your car needs at least 30minutes of use to warm up properly. It will also need a longer run to regenerate the DPF from time to time.

No different for me, as I have air conditioning. Mind you, I am in South West France, and we see temperatures of up to 42 degrees C outside.

I don't know enough about the pump to answer that, but in my opinion you need a quality pump at the heart of a loop with twin rads and multiple cooling blocks.

Thanks. That is why I could not find it. I’ll leave the signature as it is then.

I wish my lower rad had more than two ports, so I could have a drain valve at the bottom of my loop, instead of almost at the bottom.

I have been asked to look at the FAQ with regard to my Signature, but for the life of me I cannot see where the FAQ (it) is? ;) Could some kind person point me in the right direction of the FAQ section so that I can comply with the rules? Failing that, I will delete my signature. Anything for...

Fill port on the left, pressure relief valve on the right....

Pressure relief valve fitted. No leaks....

I can’t find the exact max cooling capacity of the ST30 280. Have a look at the Xtreme rigs review of the ST30. It would seem that with around 300W to dissipate, my opinion would be that adding another 280mm radiator would certainly help, but you may only gain a few degrees. Just bear in mind...

What fans are you running, and at what RPM? Does fan noise bother you? Adding another 280mm radiator will help dissipate more heat. It may lower your temperatures slightly, but it is hard to tell you by how much. You have a similar cooling requirement as me, roughly 300W. I used to use a 280GTS...

I have the same GPU, and overclocked more than when it left the factory, it runs at 64 degrees.

Totally agree that loop order does not make much difference. I recently changed a 280mm radiator in my loop for a 420mm to reduce the noise levels. It has made very little difference to the CPU/GPU/coolant temperatures.

The max allowable temp at the die junction is 100 degrees C. You are a long way from that, so I don’t think 70 degrees is anything to worry about. I do agree that a single 280mm radiator is pushing it for an overclocked CPU and a GPU. However, if those are your temperatures once the loop has...

Thanks for the warning. I bought an Alphacool one. Not sure it is adjustable, but worst case, I will put an extender on it, or fit it to the reservoir. I don’t need the fillport I ordered today, as a quick trim of the back of the filter Structure has given me the clearance to get the filter...

Just ordered the bits For a fill port, including a plug for the reservoir top and a pressure relief valve.

I think I am complicating it. I just need a G1/4 extender and a blanking cap. So, a pressure valve is worth having? One in the highest point in the case, or in the reservoir?
