jsy982002 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I am planning to buy a cool kit and was planning to cool my cpu, vga and north bridge. Because of this, i am planning to upgrade my radiator to a BlackIceXtreme II from dangerden. I was just wondering how i will mount this when the provided rad box with the cool kit is just for a radiator with 1 120mm fan? do i have to buy a rad box that could support a radiator with 2 120mm fans or do i just need to buy a rad box that could support 1 120mm fan then connect it with the older one?? really need help. i'm a newbie in water cooling:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaptCrunch Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 yes it will for bix2 has same bolt pattern as cool rad box (120mm) you may have to use thicker mounting bolts on the radbox for the added weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhyde Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 If I were going to drain/flush a Coolkit system: I would place the PC on the counter next to the sink; then hang the pump (provided I left enough slack) out of the PC and over the sink; cut the tubing very close to the pump and let gravity and the syphon effect drain the system. If you can release the tubing clamps, you won't lose any of the tubing; but at most you would only lose about 3/4 inch by cutting close to the inlet or outlet of the pump. After draining the system: to flush it; I'd add fresh water to the system via the reservoir 2 or 3 times and let it drain away. Perhaps there is some radiator flush product available that would help clean the rad and the CPU block that could be flushed through the system. Good Luck.

jsy982002 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 WOW! sounds like a lot of WORK!!!! this is one factor which i've been thinking about the coolkit:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhyde Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I've got 4 CoolKit systems; running since Sept '05. They are on 24/7/365 and unless they spring a leak or start showing a temp increase; I don't intend to touch, flush, drain or do anything to them for at least a year. Draining and flushing would take less time and work than the original install. So don't let that be a deciding factor in purchasing the CoolKit. It's a great system.
