Much quieter. I actually have two Vantech Stealth 120mm fans on the radiator (one in one out) and those are silent as can be. And I was surprised because the pump is pretty quiet too. I leak tested everything overnight outside the case and it was fine. However, once I got it in and running, the connections to the radiator started leaking and I started freakin out. It was minor though, when I bent the tubes to be put in my case, it unhinged the clamp just a little bit. I put two cable ties on it and straightened the clamp back out and it seems to be fine.
Hmmm, might have to make an external enclosure for my radiator and pump... If I take them out of the case, I can get as low as 30C :D
Looks like you`ve taken some parts from a heart by pass machine :D :D
Where does the centre leg of the T piece go or is it a vent ?
It's a bleed and fill line. I can use it to fill the system without having to take anything apart and, by leaving some room free in the tube, it's a convenient bleed system since all the air goes straight there.Quote:

Thats a point
For case modders a colourful plasma,blood mix would accentuate the old LEDS.
Seriously tho how safe are the seals?

[B]Don't see any reason they wouldn't be considered safe as long as you take the correct precautions (leak test, clamp correctly, distilled water, anti-corrosive agents, etc...)Quote:

ya,out of all the time I have spent reading about water cooling,I have never heard of anyone having a leak!Quote:

Or a floruescent dye,nice glow in the dark coloured hue :D .Quote:

Though seriously I`d be worried about the open vent leg in the case were it to get knocked or moved,no sealed cap to fit over it ?
Looks impressive.
A flourescent UV leak trace with a UV case lamp isn't a bad idea, see any leak straight away, glowing hoses look neat too.Quote:

There is a cap on the bleed line to prevent spillage.Quote:

yeah - but get the tube, tie it into an intravienous drip kit straight into your jugular vein.Quote:

Be at one with your PC.
Drink distilled Water & let me know how you get on.
I hope you are taking this seriously:p
I am in the process of building a water cooling system from scratch ( I know, I like to do things the hard way) I have a copper block which is drilled in a tic tac toe pattern with 2 x holes going throug the center of the block to get plenty of surface contact for the coolant. My nephiew has a Tropical fish supply comany, so i got a pump in exchange for some tweaking on his computer. I intend to use brass compression fittings and Synflex tubing. Synflex tubing, if you are not familiar with it is used in the air brake system of big trucks in place of copper. It is some kind of very strong plastic with a nylon liner and is made to work with brass compression fittings and is nto affected by water or Ethyene Glycol. It is rated for 250 psi pressure. It is inexpensive and seems like it would be considerably more reliable than vyanil tubing. it isn't as flexible, but is is flexible. It might be necessar to use brass elbows to turn sharp corners, but should last at least as long as the computer. what do you think?
