The radiators - LEAKING
Last week had lots of frustration in it, when i finally mounted up the watercooling for a test run, it appeared that not one, but TWO radiators were leaking, the large one on the top, and a 240mm radiator at the bottom...
Had to order new ones
2x Mist 360 and 1x Mist 240 radiators ordered up with 1/2" nozzles
Unwrapped and good to go
Cut out a fitting piece of plexi to hold the double radiators together, ill get some etches on the plexi at a later stage
The watercooling
All of the hoses are now mounted up, and i have done a 24h test run to ensure that its no leaks with a closed loop... the noise level of the pump is just awesome, gotta love full magnetic driven rotors =)
Used 1/2" hoses all the way, with coils at some points to allow bending in steeper angles, also had to fetch a full 24 hose clamps to seal it all up, got clamps thats acid and rust ressistant , and they look somewhat shiny :P
Also got a few liters of Motocool coolant in there, this is a solution that prevent damage to any material, and its temperature ressistant between -54c and up to 135c
Hopefully able to get some temp checks when i get this one booted up, shouldnt be much of a problem to keep it all cold though
