Changed the to White tubing and removed all the Quick Release parts. After several testing, it restrict the flow but doesn't affect the temperature that much.


Same flow but new tubing and added new parts.

EVGA Classified 3 only supports 3 way SLI, so installed the EVGA GTX580 HydroCopper 2 units.

[Update 10/10/11] More components came in last week but included one of the wrong AquaComputer Airplex Modularity System 360 mm (AMS) rad. Paid for AMS Copper, I got AMS Aluminum instead. Hope to sort this out soon. Changing components to some of these.

The new AquaAero 5 XT unit. Still have touch screen problems but trying to solve this issue.


Awesome AMP Rads! 360mm and 420mm rads.


All components came last week. 420mm rad is huge but too bad will not use this for this project! Still waiting for 2 more units of 360mm rad. Also changing to White tubing now.

Yeah, I didn't run the system for 3 weeks and as a result, this is what Tygon B-44-4X with AquaComputer Double Protect Ultra water additives. I did tried distilled water then change to the liquid above.

So any advice? Should use a cheaper tubing and back to distilled water? Over at the reservoir, it seems fine though.

Kinda difficult to get good sleeving here. I have ordered some, will probably arrive next week. Anyway, the cables are not arranged and completed yet. Set up to do 2nd leak test.

I don't know whether I will change the tubing but might add some dye later. Thank you for your advice and link.

I guess most of you have seen this in forums. Mine finally arrived in today! A few more to come due to limited stock.

Will be installing this unit to EagleOne soon.
