First, thank you for your reply! Frankly, I'd already given up hope and wondered why so many people read my post and didn't bother to reply.
I'm only waiting for a pair of Thermochill G3/8", 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD Compression Fittings to arrive from Jab-Tech to complete my loop. I think I'll have less than 2 feet total tubing to connect everything, not counting the drain I mentioned.
I've already mounted the pump in the dual-bay reservoir I'm using so it'll be going in the top 2 bays in this case.
Since I made my OP, Gary Stofer of Sidewinder Computers told me that the radiator orientation I wanted to use is correct. With the fitttings at the top it will be easier for the air bubbles to be removed during bleeding. I should've realized that myself. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm still quite paranoid about watercooling. I wasn't thinking straight when I made the 1st post.
Since my OP i've bought some UV reactive Feser tubing and will go ahead and just use distilled water + some sort of algaecide and a silver strip instead of the Feser One fluid, which I'll be selling on EBay. $30 + shipping sounds quite reasonable for 3 bottles of Clear/UV Blue doesn't it?
I've also replaced the Ybris cpu block with a Heatkiller to match the DangerDen fc block I have on my MSI 480GTX. I may also sell the Ybris since it's never even been wet.
I have 2 i7-920's, a 930 and a 950. Sould I go ahead and use the 950 or save it for a later build/rebuild?
I've also replaced all the other barbs with Feser compression fittings. Except for the cpu block. I can't find any compressions that'll fit a cpu block.
If you have any other ideas for this build I would sure appreciate them.
Thanks again,
k1
