A reservoir from http://www.overclockershideout.com

Nomad2000 · 07-08-2002, 03:04 AM

I have a reservoir from http://www.overclockershideout.com. It looks very nice and it has two lids - a main one (ladge) with a hole in it and the second one (small) so that I may either close the hole in the main lid or leave the hole opened. How should I assemble the reservoir - with opened hole or closed one? Sorry for my stupid questions. Thank everybody.

Cyco-Dude · 07-08-2002, 04:14 AM

not sure i understand what you mean, but you want the res to be sealed while in use.

Nomad2000 · 07-08-2002, 04:26 AM

I mean that I have a possibility to assemble this reservoir by two ways:
1. To have very small hole in its lid (I can guess - it is neccessary for connection air in the reservoir with air outside of it).
2. To have the closed hole.

What way is better and why the designers provided both ways?
Thank everybody again

Cyco-Dude · 07-08-2002, 04:29 AM

the hole is for filling the res. you close it off with the cap after ur done filling it.

Brad · 07-08-2002, 04:34 AM

anything from och sucks.

it will be poorly designed and made. When it breaks they'll manage to find a way to void your warranty.

Nomad2000 · 07-08-2002, 04:48 AM

Cyco-Dude!

The hole is not for filling! It is too small! There is another hole for filling!

gmat · 07-08-2002, 05:34 AM

Nomad: why would you want air from the res to *escape* ???
The function of an airtrap is to *collect* air. It means, air in your circuit will stop there and not move any further.
Tell me, where in your loop are you *adding* air to the circuit ?

Nomad2000 · 07-08-2002, 06:50 AM

Gmat!

All I want - to understand how I must assemble my reservoir. It is a fine stainless steel one. Of course, it has a hole with a rubber plug for filling. But apart from the plug the lid of the resevoir has a small elleptical hole (about 1X2 mm). There is a special small lid there, so it is up to you - to close the small hole or leave it opened. I cannot understand - what for the small hole is and how i must assemble this reservoir - with opened or closed the small hole. Maybe it is better to leave it opened while I am trying my setup (say,the first 24 hours) and to close the hole after it if everything is OK?
Thank all

gmat · 07-08-2002, 07:39 AM

Nope. Test your setup with everything sealed and closed, or you're out for a fatal water spill.
The 'small' hole is there in case you're filling the circuit from another point (in which case, you're *adding* water to the circuit thus the need to push air out at another point). Depending on how you plan to fill up (even through the res itself) it may help you prevent big 'gurgles' that usually happen - air escaping by the same route water is filling - so no water splash. But once it's filled, close it !

Nomad2000 · 07-08-2002, 07:54 AM

Thanks, Gmat!
I got it!

Cyco-Dude · 07-08-2002, 04:50 PM

oh, ok. i think that small hole is for an optional temp probe that goes in there to measure the water temp. assemble it closed unless youve got a probe to stick in there.

chazz469 · 07-08-2002, 05:01 PM

cyco - that's certainly a good alternate use for it, but you'd still want to make sure you're probe was sealed.

I think gmat hit the nail on the head!

Fixittt · 07-09-2002, 03:07 PM

after just looking at CPUXF`s site, I relized something.

They havent revamped the Z4 in like MONTHS...... I wonder why.
I mean the last time the chenged the design, was when I was posting water block designs. Well, I pretty much laid off of that due to being very busy.............. mabe its not related and im being paranoid.

www.overclockershideout.com you say????? Then that is NOT a stainless steel res. Only one they sell is a Nickel Plated Aluminum one.

I have been pretty busy lately and will be even more busy the next few weeks! Headed to Connecticut Monday for a few weeks. Then getting sent out again right after that.

I completed one of my mini Spirals last weekend but havn't tried it out yet. Hell I got 3 comps running and non of them is water cooled!!!

After the move I just havn't had time to set it back up. I do have a AC in the computer room though! It is 108F outside right now so that is a good thing.

Did get the CNC mill setup and running! Working real good to. Just don't have time to use the damn thing!

Well Winter is slowing coming, then I will have more time.

www.custom-cooling.com is down right now but www.dorrellco is still alive. Figuring out what to do and finding the time to work on them.

Fixittt · 07-12-2002, 06:58 PM

kewl kewl....

I have been down a while as well, broke a resitor in my control box....... machining copper...... vibration must of broke it.

Got the control box back from RMA finally..... need to extend the wires to the motors so I can re locate the control box off the back of the mill. Prolly gonna do that this weekend.

Yeah that Copper!

My control box was not built onto the mill because it was a factory retrofit. But the wires they sent with it are still to short! But that might be because of a signal noise thing or something. Could use a couple more feet though!
