Ok guys just need you to have a look at this and see if everything is ok before i fill it tomorrow.

Just cooling the cpu, which is a core2duo 6600. Does 3.3 on stock volts so i should get a nice clock out of it

the parts used -

thermochill rad pa120
swiftech block + swiftech pump + rad
masterclear tubing.

All look ok?

also, anyone know how much zerex i should put in ?

Looks good although have you tested for leaks?

Id deffo give it a check before you fill it and pack it away. You shouldn’t need to take everything out of the case. Id take the CPU block off and hang it out of the case. Just do the most that you are willing to do to make sure if something does leak then it is a safe distance away from components. Get some kitchen paper and lay it around each barb, block ect as I found this a good way to check for leaks.

Then again you shouldn’t have any problems if everything is fitted tightly but better safe….

After giving it a test then fit it all and fire it up!
 
Just trying to work out how you're going to fill it. Where will the water go in? :D Can't fill the res, too low right?

Very tidy :)
 
I prefer the res out the way high up...In the Eclispe the gap down the side just begs for a res and pump.

Heres mine..Same loop just a change of hardware

The res is mounted on the side of the CD rom bays high up ...again a great fit.

Cut out the honeycomb at the bottom for one tube and secured with rubber washer for a nice fit and to protect the tubing.

i dont think he means it that way... he's on about the fact that the res wont fill the tubes with water because its so low down :/

EDIT: easyrider is there any chance we can chat on msn? :P need some help with watercooling in the eclipse :o

Yeah sure,Give me a shout tomo mate,

Im in bed now on lappy just about to nod off :)
 
Have my res at bottom - as long as pump is fed initially then air can be removed simply by tilting. Using round dd res so had to place mine on bottom.

Res can be anywhere but it is easier if at highest point.
