Woop! Mine has just arrived, plugged it in outside my case for now to leak test, I can still see a few bubbles in it, how do I go about bleeding it? Do I just stand the Eisberg up right, open the Fill Port and let it run?

Cooler Master Eiscreme is supplied.

But I have a big tube of AS5 which I will likely use unless the Cooler Master stuff is meant to be better?

That's gorgeous. Too bad I've gotta wait a while for mine now :( Damn customs stopped an order for some connectors so it'll be a week or so until I receive it!

You'll have to let us know how it performs (did you get the Black ICE rad or the standard?)

spot on. run it closed to start with at 12v, with the rad standing up tall and the ports at the top. then shake the rad a little to get any excess air out.

any remaining air should return to the eisberg, so just top up as required with the system shut off. then obviously just screw it down, do a quick leak test to ensure you sealed it up correctly and then you are good to install.

nice choice on the pastel red too!

AS5 should be ok, its conductive but a small amount wont hurt, i would suggest going for a non conductive paste to be on the safe side.

but i have used AS with WC installations before and had no issues.

Certainly will, I opted for the Black ICE Rad.

Cheers, What do you/others recommend using on WC Installs? I just want the best performing stuff, not too fussed about price.

Would this be good?

Prolimatech PK-1 Nano Thermal Compound (30g)

Or is there anything better?
 
Will this bad boy fit onto the top of my Vengeance C70 with the Black Ice 240, without messing with an ATX board and RAM sticks?

Isn't that conductive too (having Aluminium particles)?
Also, I'm sure there must be smaller/cheaper tubes aren't there?
 
Ok I have one more question before installing it, when it's running should the Window be completely covered by the coolant or is a gap of about 2-3 mm at the top of the window fine? Or.... Should the Eisberg just be as full as I can get it?

Hi RJ, I've received my Fathom now and it was worth the wait on looks alone!

I'm totally new to watercooling and stuff such as air bubbles, bleeding, leak testing, fan mounting (pull/push) go a bit over my head at the minute.

Would it be possible for you to post a walkthrough on how to do all of this?
