Watercooling Questions Pt. 5

[Indybird]

(I say Part 5 because this is my 5th thread asking about watercooling :p)

Anyways I got a simple question this time:

Do I absolutely need a reservoir? I want to do a simple loop (and don't want to bother with placing a res. Heres how I want it: Radiator > Pump > CPU Block. Can I do that?

EDIT: I got some more questions:
First, how is this (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=21455) pump?
Second, where can I get Neoprene tubing?

Thanks,

yup, you just make a T line instead. reservoirs just make it easier to bleed and fill.

you can use anything to plug then end just make sure the end of the t line is above everything else.

HERE (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2476) is a fillport from danger den to place on the end of that T-line. makes things alot easier

looks good for a basic cpu cooling setup. you shouldn't have to change the water if its sealed up properly, are you going to use any algae killer or bacteria killer? if you want some inexpensive stuff this (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=303&products_id=1955) looks good.

:D that cpu block is sold out. here is a nooby question. does it really pay off to spend more money on a block, is the difference between a $30 and a $80 block just looks and a few degrees lower temp? or is it better quality copper, better waterflow, and reliability.

[Indybird]

Don't mean to be pushy, but what about the neoprene tubing: I really wanna get that../

Thanks,

not really sure, maybe try checking out a hardware/plumbing store, should be cheaper too.

undoubtadly a combination off all those.

thanks, thats everything. I'll be ordering this whole set in the next month. Then it will be time for even more OCing! I'm hoping to hit 4GHz w/ my E6850....
