get an xspc ex120.I have the 240 and is awesome! slim and powerful.

I would suggest to use distilled water + additives,is cheaper and better.I don't know the additives but if you do a quick search on the forum you'll probably find them smile.gif

Nah, I'm having the same problems with my RD-20. It just pushes so much water that as soon as some air appears in the res it just transforms them into micro-bubbles and spits them through the loop. I dunno if thise thing I'm working on will ever bleed because of it.

One thing is for sure, it pumps water... tongue.gif

So...another question: does tubing size matter? Can you mix tubes? Currently have 3/8" barbs on the pump and rad, another set of 3/8" barbs unused...1/4" barbs on the block and res. Thinking about getting 3/8" tubing and putting those spare barbs on the block...slow things down a bit and hopefully get rid of some of those microbubbles. Thoughts? I'd have 3/8" tubing on everything except for block -> res and res -> pump.

For aesthetic purposes, I'd use the same size tubing on everything. I think 1/4" might actually bring in restriction... I don't remeber how small it starts to really affect things however. But yeah I'd go for 3/8".

I did. Switched to all 3/8 ID 9/16 OD. Bit thick, but nice and tight. Got the phobya balancer, much nicer. Mounted it inside.

Don't believe what part? Could be 3/8" by 7/16. I don't remember which. Used some 6-32 screws to mount the rad brackets next to the pci slots. Will post pics when I get home. Hid all the cables, made a new window freehand with my dremel.
