ghostcorps Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) PS: $300 for fittings only? It should be half that. As you may have realised, my mental arithmetic is tragic... I have recalculated as follows. Angled = $19 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18447 Straight = $14 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14586 2xRadiators = 4X Straight VRM/CPU = 4X Angled GPU = 2x Straight Pump = 2 x Angled $198... it is still a bit steep, but without a controller I am still within budget I think. What is the opinion on the Koolance No-Spill valves? Expensive yes, but do they work? StonerBoy: Not that kind of vaporiser....

NikoDG Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I'll just leave that alone then, thanks Stoner. PS: QDCs kill flow rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS kind I am with Niko do not get QDCs you can however look at the Koolance Inline Drain Valve. You may also want to consider 90 degree fittings for the vrm and top of the cpu because you may not fit it past the rad and fans otherwise. I would leave buying the fittings till you dry fit everything and look at the best routing possible. When mounting the top rad it would be wise to move it as far to the left as possible to make it easier for the vrm block and fittings. haha contrary to the name I am clean (bar some anti-psychotics atm for trigeminal neuralgia) and always have been. My vice is single malt whiskey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Maybe I can lure you with a dram of Laphroaig Quater Cask or perhaps the Triple Wood? I always have an Aberlour Abunah on hand or for the truly adventurous (and lucky) I have a Bruichladdich Octomore 53.... Tempted yet?

NikoDG Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Hey Stoner, thanks for pointing out that in-line drain valve, I just bought one There is one that comes with 1/2" ID 5/8" OD compression fittings built in though, for $15. Much cheaper than getting the one you linked and then two compression fittings, as long as you have the proper tubing. Unfortunately it's only available at the Koolance website and Performance PCs as far as I know. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23416 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Don't get compression fittings from pccg. Look at gammods they are 5-6 bucks there http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_91_220_223 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostcorps Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Mucho: Nice work! I was looking under 'Compresson' FFS! I just discovered that the case has its own shroud! The way I mounted the H100 radiator went like this: Shroud Top of case Pull Radiator Push Little did I realise that it could go like this: Shroud Pull Top of case Radiator Push Good news is that I can easily fit the 360 in there by sacrificing the top drive bay! Is the consensus still 360>240+120? Edited February 4, 2012 by ghostcorps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the consensus still 360>240+120? performance should be the same but the single rad is less water restriction than the 240 and 120, so thats what i would do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
