I'm gonna give you my reserviour. hehehe, it works well. ......make sure u hook it all up and run it outside the computer for a day to make sure it doesnt leak.

Well you can buy pretty much everything you need from radiator to waterjacket and hose here.

I was gonna do it and bought most of the equiptment but it's too much of a hassle IMO.

Refer to

www.dangerden.com

for instructions on installing the water-block.

Take your cooling cube.. designate one opening for water in and the other.. of course for water out. Put 120mm fan onto one end of the radiator.. see if blowing air is better then sucking air.. try it both ways.

For an Eheim pump you don't need a resevior.. it's inline from what I believe. You just put your hose that flows water into the system in the top connection and the return water goes into the lower plug.

How do i remove air from the setup so that only water is flowing through my tubes when i boot up?

You will need to setup a bleeding system. You might want to refer to a plumber friend or someone who knows more about this in your area that could show you how to do it.

DO NOT BUY Z4.

Everyone I have talked to HATES the Z4.. It is such a stupid design and such crappy materials used..

is it better to use water cooling than air cooling?

 

[GoldMember]

Yes it is.
