@12dfx oh alright. thanks for all ur help man. u own any breathing monster rig?

[12dfx]

@Syakir2004 Yeah..always - you want to use either a refill kit or if you want to make your own just get DISTIILLED water and mix it with a water wetter/anti-corrosive agent like Swiftech Hydrx..

[Syakir2004]

@12dfx so mostly water cooling pcs must be refill with a real refillkit not plane water right? 

[12dfx]

@Syakir2004 This is due to microscopic pores in the tubing that eventually allows some water to evaporate from it. This becomes even more prevalent if the water is running really warm or hot because it will allow the tubing to expand and those microscopic pores to get bigger. The BEST tubing you can buy is called "Tygon". Also, you must use DISTILLED water always, NEVER regular water. You want to use an additive as well (a water wetter) that eliminates the 'skin' of the water..

@12dfx oh thx alot!, i would like to know why are some liquid cooling system must be refill? and some dont? can we use normal water to refill them?

[12dfx]

@Syakir2004 Yeah no prob. :) ...ran out of space but other issues with the MSI BB XPII are 4) BIOS is very difficult & SLOW to navigate for anyone using a respectable (high dpi) mouse like a 'razer'...don't be fooled by the pretty BIOS pics - it's a pig. 5) BIOS is extremely thin & weak compared to the extremely robust ASUS R4E BIOS (best I've ever used). 6) No 'power-to-board' light when system is off & PSU is connected. 7) SLOOOOOW pre-boot initialization when powered on...etc!

@12dfx danm... LOL thanks for ur help man. imma going with asus ROG

@Syakir2004 I had the MSI X79 Big Bang XPower II and SOLD IT to get this one - trust me, the Rampage IV Extreme is VASTLY superior to the MSI board. MSI's advertising is very misleading - 1) The board only has 2 (TWO) x16 slots - they say 7 but that is just the SIZE (i.e. the plastic)...they are wired only half-way across the slot...the remaining 5 are x8. 2) Setting up RAM is a NIGHTMARE, & it WILL NOT run my G.Skill @ 2400MHz. 3) Onboard audio w/ X-Fi MB (i.e. not TRUE X-Fi) sucks ass...etc!!
