thanks nublet

Does anyone know what Max Ben Radius Percentage means? For feser tubing it is 420%. I don't get what it means though o.0

And also does anyone know if the swiftech rad+res combo can be mounted horizontally? I'm assuming it can't right?

its called the swiftech apogee drive series block/pump, here is a review i found <a href="http://martin.skinneelabs.com/Swiftech_Apogee_Drive_Review.html">review</a>

and as for the radiator/res, you can mount it any which way, just if you are going to use the built in res to fill your loop, you would want it with the fill port facing upwards and preferably at the highest point in your loop (you can just move it or your case around, and i would recommend filling the loop outside of the case but after you have measured and connected all the tubing/blocks, etc)

Oh so with the res built into the radiator do you have to try and get it as full as possible? What if there is a small gap of air at the top when it is vertical? Will that not like go into the loop and get pumped around? Or does it not matter?

I think the max bend radius % is the tightest radius you can bend the tube based on the tubes diameter before it will kink

so if the tube is 3/8 then its 3/8 * 4.2
so roughly no tighter than 1.5 inches on the bends

or I could be completely wrong

Ah that makes sense, thanks CR.

This is what it would look like with the rad inside. I could do it like that, or make the box 3cm taller and have the fan inside too. I'm a bit worried about getting my tubing in at those angle though. Hmm....

for those angles, 45 degree fittings will help you alot. or 1x 90 degree fitting on either the rad or cpu block.

yeah, agreed. a few 45deg fittings should do it, depends if you go for the pump/block combo or not how many to get. Just be aware that they do exist if you need to get some - but also be warned, fancy compression ones are kinda expensive imo.

as for the radiator with the res and what not, you should be okay filling it outside the case then flipping it, since any small amount of air inside should remain in a bubble up against the top of the radiator. I would personally go for a radiator without a built in res, and either the swiftech micro res or a fillport res.

In summary, you should be okay with the tiny bubble in the res, but those swiftechs with the built in res i find to be a bit bulky.

Thanks for the info. Problem with the micro is it has to be mounted vertically doesn't it? And it also takes up more room than i want.


Anyone got any opinions on whether to make the case bigger or have the fan mounted on top? (With the second design)
