Well, d***ed dirty fedex lost my maze3. They are going to call me tues or weds about it.
In the meantime I'm thinking of how to install everything and I have a few questions.
Specs of the w/c system:
Maze3
Black Ice rad
Eheim 1250
1/2" tubing
possibly a small res made of pvc
Questions:
1. I was thinking of making the system external so I'm not forced to do any huge mods to my puter. I saw this article: http://overclockers.com/tips1067/ which looked very appealing. The only prob I could see possibly happining is the height from the bow to the computer. Would a height of a few feet restrict flow very much?
2. 1 capful of water wetter for inline/small res right? I'm using distilled water also. Do I need anything else for the water?
3. I need a cheap thermometer for my water. Any suggestions?
4. I probably wont do this but would sanding the inside of the water block with very low grit paper be benifitial? I was thinking it would increase surface area and turbulence.
5. How do I know when I've clamped the block down enough?
6. last, any tips or tricks you all think would be helpful for me?
