My first project log...

[James J]

Ahhh I see! Yeah I'll get one of those ordered as that will save a lot of messing about.

Thanks

 

[James J]

Daft question but is the T fitting the same as a Y splitter? Can't see anything on OcUK that seems to fit what you are saying.

 

[James J]

Haha Can you link me to what I need to buy please mate? I'm guessing I need another few barbs as well? I'll ask RJK when they fittings are back in stock and have 5UB add them to my entire watercooling order

 

[James J]

about that, I bought al 600 and i don't think OcUK plan on getting any more as they sold all of them at a loss

Are you using 7/16 tubing?

If so, email me your address in trust and i'll sort you out with some of them (for free). not like i'm running out any time soon lol

I am yeah and I'll pay you for them mate as I'm not that tight

Just trust me your paypal or bt info and I'll give you £10 as that'll cover the cost of posting and your time

So what exactly do I need then? A Y splitter with 1/4 thread and 1/2 hose diameter for my 7/16 tubing and 1 more barb or 2?

 

[James J]

Ahh right so I just need to buy a cap for it and thats literally it?

 

[James J]

Would a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-065-BP&groupid=962&catid=1529&subcat=2059 fit them properly mate? I'll send you a trust message in a mo with my delivery address. Still think I should cover atleast the postage cost though!

 

[James J]

Hmmm any recommendations on that sort of fitting? Thanks again mate.

 

[James J]

Thanks will do!

 

[James J]

Found one so thats on its way. So to clarify, all I need to do is have a length of hose coming from that T splitter which then has the plug in the end of it. Guessing this length of hose has to be quite small as I'll lose flow from my pump due to it or won't it actually effect anything?

 

[James J]

My stopper arrives today (which was quick!) so thats the first of my watercooling stuff to actually turn up :O

haha

 

[James J]

@Cleeecooo

Those T and Y junctions turned up today so thanks for them mate Gonna work out exactly where I should put the fill port later on today.

 

[James J]

Lol yeah they didn't mess around. Still not exactly sure where to put that fill tube of mine but luckily have a few choices. Just don't want it visible as it'll look abit pants.

 

[James J]

Hmm just occured to me that I might need to buy some thermal paste for my waterblocks as I havent got any left. I'm guessing the EK blocks don't come with it pre-applied?

 

[James J]

The HF blocks come with MX-4

Pre-applied or an actual tube of it?

 

[James J]

Ah should be alright then

 

[James J]

Just to clarify, would I have any problems with the loop setup I have in mind as the res is AFTER the pump in the current layout? I might be able to put the pump at the bottom of the case, depending on the D5 + tops phsyical size if that would be any better?

 

[James J]

I would put rthe pump after the res, but the current set up is fine with a T line

Understood,

Added some MX-4 to my order due to the waterblocks not coming supplied with any. RJs told me that they have been dispatched to him, so probably get my kit around next week sometime, although next week for me is mental due to 3 harsh exams!

Due to that, won't be assembling anything until the weekend most likely!

 

[James J]

Do I click buy on 16gb of crucial tactical tracer blue/orange? Sooo tempting at the current price!

 

[James J]

Just noticed the daily deal so just ordered some more of that instead to fill up the empty DIMMs :O

Comes friday 20th

Also ordered myself a good set of screwdrivers so I can remove and replace screws without damaging them, also comes next week
