I should be getting a sample to test soon, but the reviews look very promising on performance. I havn't tested myself yet but expect good things based on what I see. Have not seen a filling session but considering the reservior is...

The EKoolant I used was their blue variety. I didn't have any separationor settlement issues but thre was some light staining of the tubing. I only ran it for about thee weeks for a lan party build and then went back to distilled plus...

No, thats the ap-15. Same family of fans but the black blade 3,000 rpm model is the one that can supposedly run on PWM control if you modify them by adding the fourth wire: OOS at the moment both at FCPU and...

Quote:Originally Posted by Cobra26 Thanks for all the feedback guys. So ive narrowed it down to not using silver kill coils or pt-nuke with nickel plated blocks nor using tubing that has "plastisizer" issues that may leave residue...

Hope he is working for free because you would never be able to machine one by hand and outperform the commercial blocks at their price. I would even says it is unlikely you could match or beat a commercial block no matter how much $or...

those e-loops are really good below about 1500. Far better than the corsair fans in noise. If you want max thermal performance though, the corsair kit fans are pretty high speed turning up to 2800 rpm at 12v. To match or better that...

A must read: http://skinneelabs.com/coolantfluid-roundup-thermal-performance/ Water is king. Buy a gallon of distilled at Walmart for $0.88, add a drop of PTnuke (copper sulfate) or similar biocide and you are good for non nickel...

+1, Stay away from Silver if running Nickel plated stuff. While there may not be definitive testing to show it accelerates corrosion, the galvanic potential does increase with silver in the loop. Brass to Ncikel is only a .10 where...

Yeah, I think a copper pipe cutter would induce too much stress on the ends and could lead to cracking. I would suggest a 1/4 angle grinder or a dremel with a cut off wheel to make more of a sanded cut through. Ever since I had an...

Wow, that's really well thought out. I never considered a acrylic before because those BP crystal links didn't retain the tubing and I would always worry about that. These newer fittings seem to fix that problem, finally a real...
