Ace Modder · 14 Nov 2013 at 12:45

so now I have......

Much better with the black monsoon fittings

Yes, hence the reason I swapped my out at OcUK today. Best thing I've done.

Well did some work earlier. But run I'm need some 90 degree fittings.... tomorrow another trip to OcUK

Ace Modder · 16 Nov 2013 at 00:33

no idea how im going to fill it with fluid now as the fill port on the res is not accessable.

Maybe unscrew the res and angle the top of it forwards.

Put a 90 on the top of the res with a fitting and run a hose to the top and use a funnel.

klaxhu · 16 Nov 2013 at 13:42

you have plenty of space to fill it up with one of those squeeze bottles that have a straw

Ace Modder · 16 Nov 2013 at 16:11

I just unscrewed the res from the plate and tilted it forwards... easy peasy tbh.

Many improvements make to the tube layout

Which involved 2 seperate trips to OcUK for more fittings

All being leak tested now

I love the look of the CPU block with those two 90 degree fittings, Amazing!

Ace Modder · 16 Nov 2013 at 16:20

yeah they go straight once the res is back mounted up on the tray, not lowered resting on the floor like it is at the moment.

Mother of God... Computer porn at its finest!

clone · 16 Nov 2013 at 16:58

Aye really like it good work Ace

Ace Modder · 16 Nov 2013 at 17:53

Getting the air out of the loop and into the top of the res is proving to be "fun"

Ace Modder · 16 Nov 2013 at 18:01

here you go

rjk · 16 Nov 2013 at 19:07

Where is the flow going? To the CPU block first?

Because if its going to the CPU block first. They its going into the outlet of the block and won't work properly.

Ace Modder · 17 Nov 2013 at 00:25

Well Rich my temps seem to confirm you are right

My GPU's are not hitting 40 degrees - hovering between 37-39 degrees in 20mins of furmark

However prime95 is causing my CPU to high 70 degrees and I havent even clocked it yet.

Looks like I need to drain and flip my block round (hope I dont need to cut new tubing for it) but I think I will.

Anyway a few pics here

Also I was 1 PCI-E orange braided cable short today, so need to get one Monday also.

Looks cracking mate

You may get away with rotating the block 180 degrees of you want to keep it as is
