Check it out. My system is basically a Swiftech setup. I used their pump, rads, and blocks on all three chips. I prefer their fill-and-bleed system to a reservoir because it is supposed to be self contained. I can turn the computer on its head, shake it all about with no fear of air getting into the system. Because the system is air tight and self contained Swiftech claims that the water will not evaporate and therefore never needs refilling. The also claim that no allege and other contaminates will grow or cause growth as long as distilled water with an additive is used. The pics are a little grany because all I have is a video camra and it doesent take good still pics. However, enjoy the pics and tell me what you think.
As you can see I have the radiators in parallel configuration. Swiftech claims this will yields a performance improvement of 5c to 7c. I believe them, I have not hooked my system up with one radiator so I can’t tell you if it really works but it should because there is a greater cooling surface. By splitting the water in parallel radiators instead of sending it in series (i.e. one radiator after the next) the water is cooled faster

The video cam did not do this pic any justice. The UV reactive water glows brighter and the violet glow is not seen with naked eye.
