    anybody good or familiar with water cooling? I need to swap out my cpu waterblock inlet & outlet tubes. Got them mixed up coming from reservoir/pump combo.

        Ok i know about precautions, take power off other HDs, have only axullarty on with pin to atx module etc... use napkins and towels. Work under plastic linings. And loosen tube in a big bowl etc...

        What I'm wondering is. Should I redo the cpu block since it's flow is backwards and is it dangerous? Also if I should drain the loop completely or just try to save as much liquid as I can?

          it does not matter about the inlet for the Blocks as long as YOU have the reservoir coming out to the pump, from there it can go anywhere

          Vandal

            It doesn't matter which hole of the waterblock water is flowing into or out of.

              Depends. If you got "water" cooling, then you don't need to drain all of it, and you only need to get the pump>reservoir.

              On the other hand, if you have " nitrogen " cooling, then it is totally different story.

                it's a xspc x20 720 2 bay res. & pump combo. The manual says that the cpu block should be inlet first. The outlet you can see the copper fins in there so yea it's going reverse. It's noted on page 5/16 of the manual. http://static.squarespace.com/static/51998404e4b0ef02d1bd9c2c/t/5244a988e4b0078c1f27adbe/1380231560052/raystorm-kit-2013.pdf

                My original setup: Res ---> pump ---> 360 radiator --> cpu waterblock ---> Large radiator --> res.
                Since I have inlet and outlet mixed up on the 2bay res. it's going

                Res ---> Pump ---> Large radiator ---> outlet on cpu waterblock to intlet ---> 360 radiator ---> res.

                hope this helps.

                  As it says , do reverse. Although i am not so sure about it , but after all it is in manual ( and i am not that good about all pc things ).

                  And damn, does it really glows that blue? Or is it just marketing trick?

                    yes it's pretty bright. Not as bright as multi LEDs but bright for a single LED, though not as bright white as in the manual.

                    Vandal

                      Dude why are you asking us. The manual clearly says it matters a lot.

                                Edit, my setup is trash. Hard to get coolshit when you have a 3 year old. I make it work though. Running off my laptop.

                                      I have abelton as well. Fl is just better imho.

                                        What I love about FL the most is you can change the background to something kawaii and it won't look out of place.

                                        Ableton master race tho.
