Ghost2520 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Are theses reservoirs, the ones that fit in drive bays good (leak proof)? I would like one that fits in a bay. Does it matter at all if I get a dual bay or a single bay? Do I really need the extra water? Thanks. If you can recommend a better res for under $50 then please do.

Nuclear Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I would buy either a DTek or DangerDen Rez, they're both real high quality and hardly ever leak. The dual bay rez isn't neccesary, but it is a good thing to have if you have the room. Another thing to look at is the ports. You can get them with 2 or 4 ports on them, the 4 port is perfect if you have or have plans for a multiple block system. Good choice on the rez, it's the easiest when it comes to filling and bleeding the system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost2520 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Theres a way to plug the extra holes right? Like for the first month I will only have my cpu water cooled, but after a couple months I will add the gpu cooling and then the motherboard.

Nuclear Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) The phrase hardly ever leaks isnt to reassuring. hehe, I know. This is why I said that: Most of the cracked and leaky rez's that I have seen were caused by user error, not design or manufacturing flaws. You have to install the fittings properly or it will crack and eventually leak. I've seen plenty of guys try to jam a brass fittings in a plexi or lexan rez, only to see it crack and they blame the manufacturer. I should have said that "if prepared and installed right" they will never leak, but it installed wrong and improperly, they will be nothing but problems. EDIT: Yes Ghost. It will come with plugs when you buy it. You don't have to use all the ports if you don't want to.

Ghost2520 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 That gives me some fear... should I use those plastic clips to secure the tubing to the holes? Also does dangerden make good radiators? Cause the one I saw was on frozencpu and it was for a 120 mm fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 ... should I use those plastic clips to secure the tubing to the holes? Also does dangerden make good radiators? You can use the plastic style double clamps with no problem. I prefer to use the metal screw type, they easy to take off and hold a very secure fit. Either one will work though, you just need some type of hose clamp on your tubes. Danger Den's Rad's are pretty good. If your gonna buy a rad though, I'd go with the DTek Customs ProCore and 120MM Shroud. It's a pre-modded chevette heater core that will accept a 120MM fan on each side for a push/pull config. Buying a rad and shroud will blow your budget though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Is it possible to get a water cooling setup with res, rad, and pump for under 120? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
