Tracy502 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I would like to ask if it makes any difference if the radiator is mounted with the 3/8 barbs at the top, instead of on the bottom as shown in the install guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaptCrunch Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 only differance is harder to bleed out the air with tubes on the bottom also should have the res higher then other system parts so to keep air out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy502 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 I wasn't sure...... but it looks like it might be more efficient with the tubes at the top after you bleed the air out of it. I just got my chipset block and am going to have to cut lines and install it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio-Hazard Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I've had radiator mounted in every different position that you can mount one in. I haven't noticed any problems with any of them. I also keep my res on the case floor and it also works just fine, no air, no bleed problems...........:sunglasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhyde Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I found it easier with the barbs at the bottom. When bleeding I unhooked it from the mounting bracket and laid it on the table. With barbs at top you will have longer tubing runs to get to lower PCI slots. See attached pic's 007 & 009. To burp all the air out, I had to tilt the case as in pic 022.

Bio-Hazard Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 My Ex used to own one of those little things when I lived in Europe......;): Doesn't really matter where the res is..........directly feeding the pump is much better than a foot long tube between the res and pump for better performance. Just look at all the systems on the market that have a pump res combo that sits on the case floor, they all work just fine. I also built my external box that sat on the floor and I had the computer on the desk, that makes the res in the lowest point also, still works and bleeds just fine. That's the same thing that Corsair did with the Hydrocool, so it really doesn't make any differance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy502 Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 I have finally got the whole Corsair cool installed. It works great! My P-4 Prescott 3.0 E idles at 36C and it's overclocked to 3,160 mghz. The NB chipset idles at 26C. My Gainward 6800 Ultra idles at 45C in enhanced mode with the GPU at 400 mghz and the ram at 1100. I am positive I can go higher on everything, but I have no need to. Both this CPU and this video card are known to run Hot, but the Corsair Cool keeps everything well below what is needed even under a heavy game load or when I process graphics. Corsair did a great job of putting this system together..... kudos to Swiftec also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
