@iFlashPlays Sounds like you might be using the wrong quick disconnect fittings. You need to use the one that is threaded. It then just screws into the pass through fitting. Hope that helps
@Ronsanut By far my favorite pump is the MCP-655. I like how you can use it in a RES like the Koolance or by it self with any other RES. EK makes great stand alone RES's. I have used both the tube type and the Bay type. I like the EK spin RES due to the flow indicator. I like the Koolance for the fact I can mount 2 MCP-655 pumps on it and it takes up laees of a foot print. It really depends on how much room you have to work with.
I dont have a favorite fan controller. Just make sure it can
@Ronsanut cont..... Just make sure it can handle the load you are putting on it. Then it just comes down to if you like touch screens or knobs..I tend to lean to knobs on my controllers...it makes it easier for me to get them where I want them.
@Ronsanut The fans are in a push, pushing the outside cool air into the bench. Once all the components are installed the pushed air exhaust through the front and back. I get GREAT temps with this setup. Currently I have 2 GTX Black Ice 360mm RADS with AP-15's cooling just the CPU. The GPU that I have in there is a EVGA GTX570 SC and it is on air. I pulled the 3 way SLI GTX580 Hydros for my new build in the Silverstone FT02.
Looks good bro, just wondering if it wouldn't be better if you had the rad fans in a pull configuration...this way you won't be blowing hot air into the opposing rad. Or do you feel with both in a push config that the will counter act each other? just curious.
@WestCoastMods Great question....I know just by looking at how it sites now that would be the case but I really need to put up part 5. After I put the 2 parts of the bench together the RADS are separated in the middle by all the components. So with the fans in a push configuration on both sides the hot air is routed out the front and back of the bench. And as I'm sure you already know, a good rule of thumb is to push/pull the cool outside air if at all possable into the case.
@lvl8hacker Thanks for the response....I didn't know you were running push/pull...or at least in the video it looked just like a push config.
Regardless, I am sure it wouldn't make much difference either way.....I am very impressed by this build, looking forward to more updates. Keep up the good work!
@roflgl Thanks!...I got the DimasTech at Frozen CPU. Its going for about $160. Stay tuned for the last video of this build. I think the setup turned out very well and I am loving it.
Great video. Just wanted to ask what would the point of this be? Is it just for having a water cooled test bench where you can just switch out certain parts?
@mystery512 ..Thank you...That is a great question. I went over why one would have something like this. Your reason is one of them and with this DimasTech bench it makes it real easy to do. The other reason one would use this is for what I am doing. I just thought it would be neat to have all my stuff out in the open. I dont see many DimasTech benches being used as an everyday setup...so I thought I would try it.
@wtt70 Thank you very much. I still have one more part of this video i need to upload. I am testing the water loop now and eveything looks real good. :)
@lvl8hacker i observed that Faser white tubes u used upside are 3/8-1/2" but the other downside with the RADS, the black ones?

@ lvl8hacker Of all the water-cooling reservoirs, pumps and fan controllers you have usd, which do you like or have worked the best ?

Thank you. I will do the same though. Very nice. Can't wait to see your Silverstone FT02 unveiled.

Are you pulling air from the inside of the bench or pushing through the radiators from the outside into the bench ?

Nice! Does the bench hold any larger MB's?

@vertex636 Hey Vertex...It does...The ASUS Max4 Ex is a ex-ATX and there seems to be another set of holes for an even larger mobo.
