    My god you're going to kill the D4 on the left. Very small bore tubing with a right angle on the inlet?!

    How'd you do that anyways? Just kind of force in a G1/4 compression fitting and have it more or less tap it's own thread?

    Very different anyways, to say the least.

    there both running at 7v. and the d4 kicks so much water out (which sucks the same volume in , that 90" dosnt do sqwat. to the flow.

    its been running like that for over a year with out a single problem.

    Cut the existing barbs off. enlarge the hole to 1/4" then tap it with a tap and dye set.

    you dont know how much your hindering and stressing the pump like that having to pull through RC car size tubing at a elbow! especially at 7v as well

    you may think otherwise but if you want proof, stick those pics on XS or procooling and be told by the pro's of WC that you havent done a good pump any justice


    the loop on the ther hand with the 1/2" ID ( i assume) tubing looks great

    it has been running fine for over a year. the tubing aint that small its 8mm indameter thats not that small. and the pump dosent get hot nor has it ever failed. and it was converted to run 10mm. and its at 7v for silence.i no the pump is underperforming. for what it is , but its what we had a the time and it works just fine. its also more powerfull than any 10mm pump on the marked it kicks out some serious power on 12v

    havn't really modified the radaiters atall except too make the mounting holes bigger too fit the case, this poticulare case fits 2 80s at the back nicely with a bit of case chopping and already had a 120mm hole at the front stock so i removed grill and fitted the rad.

    as explained above by my associate the 8mm D4 was opend and re-tapped then we hadded some accustic Dynomat too the middle with stuck them together sleeved both wires and soldered together then fitted too a molex in 7v so they are both pretty quet now.

    lo morgan

    Nice setup, not as good as mine, but i will give you 9/10 ;)

    Nice rigging mate, done a good job. I cant believe that gfx card/cpu/chipset still works after all these years.

    is that right?

    maybe you should look up on people before you say stuff like that, i run a very good water setup and i avoided all things that would hinder the performance of the setup, go search it if you want

    i didnt say it would kill your pump someone else did, i said you arent doing the pump any justice running it like that, i.e not letting it perform as it should, with a elbow on the inlet

    surely that means something? otherwise you wouldnt have asked for comments?

    if you dont want criticism or my opinions on how to make it perform better then fair enough i wont post again on your thread

    lol Bacon i did realise that it was hindering performance when i made it but. the fact was we need a 90' on there to make it fit. if not it would have been a straight. but its running at 7v so its not getting its full performance anyhow. When we redid the 1/2" loop we did it so there was no kinks or nasty 90"s but the 10mm dosent realy matter as 90"s dont realy affect 10mm systems. that comment was a bit harsh though morgan :)
