res question

artemis0007 · 07-04-2002, 02:31 PM

Hi all!
After test fitting my bits, I finally have a res design for you all to comment on.

NOTE: The inlet and outlet positions cannot be changed because of where my reservoir will be located.

My main concern was whether or not this res would make a mini waterfall. I'm not sure if having a small waterfall effect would create more air bubbles or release more. In any case, I was thinking of cutting the plug's height in half for better flow. Other than that I would like suggestions. Thanks!

This res will fit into the 2 3.5" bays at the front of my YY cube case and the plug will stick out from the top of the case.

Ah it works now.

You should not have bubbles if you make sure the water level stays over the inlet (you seem to have a small clearance -2mm ? - above the inlet).
Even if it's at the same level it wont make many bubbles.

yes I believe the clearance is about 2-3 mm. So this res should always almost be full all the time, huh? Thanks for the reply!

I've got a box about the same size that one looks to be... but I'm going for the taller, slim profile, that way there's easier chance for air to esacpe and much higher dist from inlet to outlet... but nice either way!
