I used teflon tape cuz I did get leaks at first on some fittings, the O-ring wasnt seating right it was getting stretched out on the base the more I tightened it. So I figured it was the only solution. @ techniks, I see you did plan ahead with the psu issue. Also thats an awesome looking rig man. EDIT: Got it working with the paper clip, Nice!

I added a Second Rad (DD Black Ice GT 240) to my loop and I got a nice temp drop. Just wanted to share this with you guys, I think its amazing what kind of temps i'm getting.
The pic is of my idle temps, Also my load temps decreased about 5-6C on both gpu and cpu. BTW cpu 1.55V // Gpu 1.40V// (2D)

Can someone help explain the use of a "top" in a loop? I'm not sure what the importance is for, flow? I'm a WC noob I know so any help is awesome.

"Tops" as they're referred to are either for a pump or for a waterblock.
Ex. 1: Fit's acrylic tops for the DTek Fuzions are for aesthetics (they're clear plexi) and improve flow. Ex. 2: XSPC's pump tops do a number of things like increase pump flow, water pressure, etc.

I'm assuming not absolutely necessary in most single loop setups.

Well it's kind of like if you have a car. Let's say you want some more oomph, so you bolt on a better exhaust. It's really just up to you.
Tops are replacements, not addons. ![]() Image taken from Madshrimps.be The copper is the base, and the black plastic is the mid-plate and top. Not all blocks have a midplate and top, but the DTek Fuzion v1 does.

Whenever it starts getting nasty. lol. If it's still clear, and temps are still the same, you should be fine.

Just a couple questions to all you w/c pro's:
I have the XSPC res top on my pump. ![]() Is it mean't to be filled right up to the top eliminating air, or a small gap? Also the pump does get very warm to the touch, almost hot, will this radiate to the res affecting performance? If so would it be worth getting an seperate res?

If you fill it to the top when the pump is on and you put the cap on, turning off the pump will cause the water to rise and may cause leaks. I have mine filled about 3/4mm under the top because this way the res will not get so dirty on the inside.
![]() And this way it's easy for me to check the flow since the pump is so quiet. Also the pump itself stays very cool.

Cheers guys, i'm glad i left a gap when i filled it then.
On a side note, the inlet tube through the middle of the res. Does it really have to be that long? Just seems to me the water comes in then straight back into the pump, no circulation time in the res. Or am i talking bs

I've fitted a fill port to mine on the top of the case,with a tube from the fill port to the top on the res.

Ok so I got everything setup. I want to test the system before I put it on the board. How long should I let it run for? 4+hours?
I put Teflon tape around all the threads and am ready to cut the tubing and clamp them into place. Any last minute checks I should go through before putting it in place? Quote:
Oh and why the hell is this thread not Stickied!!!!

It will most likely leak in the first 30 min through hour of use.

Thanks I'll test it for a good hour before putting it on the system.
