System installed !

[FrankyG]

Installed my water cooling stuff this evening did not run it since I don't have any distilled water. Heres a couple pics please let me know if I did any thing wrong. The loop goes a follows.

[miggs78]

You had a lot of space inside the case for the pump really.. Which would also avoid the tube crossing you have near the cpu.

But nonetheless, looks kool!!

[magictorch]

Looks like the loop is set up just fine in terms of overall configuration. As Miggs said it would look a bit cleaner if you brought the pump into the case but its well thought out all the same.

I quite like the way you've mounted the rad.

[MpG]

Yeah, I like that rad mounting too. Technically, you're getting slightly cooler air this way, rather than grabbing what's leaving the case, and it'll be a cinch to vacuum dust out if it becomes a problem. And if you ever feel like a little more cooling power, just bolt a couple of fans on the front of the rad for a push-pull setup.

Watch the opening that your tubes are going through - some of those edges look a little sharp - wouldn't want them to rub through your tubing over time. You might have problems with the pump trying to make the case vibrate. If so, some sort of soft-mounting might be necessary, but hopefully not.

[miggs78]

Yeah I would also personally use an external rad, I like the idea of cool fresh air hitting the rad first, slightly better temps, and the dust issue..

I forgot to mention, you might want to put something on edges of the hole you cut in the fan position to pass tubing, sharp edges, even put some electronic tape..

[Phobia]

I, like everyone else, think thats an awsome way to mount your rad. Would never have thought of it, but its a sweet way of doing it. There is room for the pump inside, but to each his own, and its not too bad.. looks like its bolted on damn good

[miggs78]

Now you made me jealous... I'm coming to steal that case of you.. oh hold on.. maybe I'll steal Phobe's MM :P ^^

[Cptn Vortex]

Neat idea, but looks like bleeding/getting the air bubbles out is not going to be an easy task.

[matsta31]

Bah try bleeding an MM case , and this will be nothing compared to it :)

Huh, I never had a mcp 655 but where is the inlet and the outlet ?

I tough the outlet was the top of the pump ? If so, filling it will be a bit of a PITA.

It is easier, anyway for me, to have the T at the inlet of the pump when innitially filling it. The way I think your pump works, it wont have water to push it up when you fill it.

Owner of mcp655, tell me what you think ?

[MpG]

No worries, he's got the T-line on the pump's inlet.
