Few questions.

m!ist · 01-11-2002, 11:10 PM

Hey, been reading on the forums/site alot.. but theres a few things i can't get straight, so i thought i'd ask someone here.

Im going to be getting a maze2, heatercore, and a danner 3 pump. I want the pump submerged, cus this is my 1st attempt at water cooling, and i don't want to go through the trouble of inline.

1. Do you have to bleed/get the air out of resevior setups, like u do inline. If yes, any sites that show u how?

2. Someone said to put the resevoir at the top of the case, becus it also acts as an air trap? Does that matter.

3. Stupid question: on the 'inlet' of the res, where the water being taken from the block goes back into the res. Do i just put a barb fitting on, attach the tube, and let the water flow in ? or should i attach a little peice of tubing on the under side of the connector going into the water?

4. Are pressure build ups something to worry about, like the trouble koolance had? (reason for doing #2)

:shrug:

Thanks ahead of time..
later

if you don't get rid of the air, it will just gather at the top of the res, it isn't a bad thing, it doesn't matter much at all.

you should look into putting the res as high as possible.

for number 3, your first assumption was correct.

number 4, don't bother, just make sure you have 3/8" or 1/2" silicone tubing
