CPU block should be the other way around.

The reason you want to mount top to bottom instead of side to side is BUBBLES !

gravity will help the water down, but bubbles go up.

Having the outlet at the top gets all the bubbles out, which means better cooling.

This is the worst way you can pump water through this block.

You would be better with side to side.

But the best way is in at the bottom. Out at the top. To allow all of the air to escape out of the block.

@EvECoPilot I have Supreme with plexi top, so i can see what is inside. All bubbles are gone in couple days, even if outlet is on the bottom. It all doesn't matter at the end...

good video, one question is this the right loop just to cool a cpu. Cpu block out to rad in, rad out to pump in, pump out to reservoir in, reservoir out to cpu block in and so on. Is that corrent?

[DazMode]

@Scorpion7substance

From Reservoir to Pump. The rest does not matter.

Reservoir needs to be above pump level to feed it.

Looks great man 5/5*

Thank you for support. Mid tower case is huge pain to wate rcool.

good,i am doing my first water cooling next week, i cant wait!!

don`t want to be mean or critique your modin` skills but ... the cable management is awfull. If the 24 pin cable and the 2x pci-e cables were cut to length = no clutter = straight fitting = less money.

Also, making your own custom cables is free, but it takes time and patience. both are needed in building sistems.

@Scorpion7substance agree, does the resivor have a straw in it? ot yes no problem with the setup, but if it does not, excess air in the radiator will always be on top of the radiator, this matters bcoz your feeding the cpu on top of the radiator where air bubbles are!

[jbx907]

at the cpu block, in should be at the bottom, out to radiator on top so it can stay clear of air bubbles!

[jbx907]

your system will be pumping hot warter from the cpu and might bot be good for the pump, the pump suppost to pump cold water to the cpu, hot water to radiator, then cold water to reservior and to the pump again, at least the liquid is colder when it goes thru the pump!

anyway i like your video!

french?

[zeewolsk]

Nice videos. Quick question. Would a slim dual 120mm and a single slim 140mm rad be enough to cool a i5 CPU and a 6870 GPU?

[deifo]

Nice, but it's covering the space for the PCI cards.

Whats the cost of this complete cooling kit?
