hows it look?
 
You took 3/8 ID tubing while the rest of the setup is 1/2 ID
Get some clamps for that tubing.
 
It said 3/8 fits 1/2 inch fittings. The 3.8 is inner diamter. im planning on using zip ties also.
 
Looks good. To fit 3/8 hose over 1/2 connections heat the hose first with hair dryer. If you dont heat it so it will stretch forget about it. Clamps are always a good idea even if I dont use any. :eek:

(does fit, I converted from 1/2 to 3/8 on my BIX based system because its so much easier to work with)

It says 3/8" ID Tubing will fit around 1/2" OD fittings, not 1/2 ID fittings.

Notice the OD versus ID

Also, get Clearflex60 instead of Tygon it's cheaper and does the same thing
 
The res has 4 fittings on it? How would i set this up? take two into a Y for input and two into a Y for output?
 
The reservoir does have 2 inputs and 2 outputs....

But who says you have to use them all? Using them all would be pointless and waste tubing. The Bayres comes with plugs so stop up those inlets and outlets you dont use. You should only be using one intake and one outake, so put them on the far sides across from each other and block the middle two.

To answer your other question, yes they can leak, but only if you install them like an idiot. When you screw in the barbs and plugs, use plumbers tape (teflon tape) or silicon sealent, just something to get a watertight seal between the barbs and the housing. People don't do this and then complain how these bayres things are complete shit, but dont realize that plastic against lexan isn't water tight. Just take the proper precautions and you should be fine. I'll also remind you to use the HOSE CLAMPS. You DID get hoseclamps didn't you???

Good luck!

one thing i hate about water cooling......its $expensive$ :eek:
glad u can afford such a good cooling set up :D
 
I just got one of those bay res's for my new system, but the dual floppy kind. I can say that it is extremely well constructed and I would never doubt the quality of it. I only had one problem with it, which I might caution you about. It includes little caps for the outlets you don't use, along with a little O-ring that goes between it and the outlet to make a good seal. I screwed the cap in way too tight so the O-ring was not covering all of the outlet (hard to explain), but that leaked a little. Moral? Screw them in firmly, but do not overscrew.

The guys at DangerDen are great, and most everything they put out is also great.

Actually the purpose of this reservoir is two have multiple loop in your system. ie: one for your cpu , the other for your gpu/chipset.
 
Am I the only one reading the first couple threads wrong or...

1/2 OD barb needs a 1/2 ID tube to go over it. (the barb has to fit inside the tube)

You don't really measure tubes in OD because the thickness can vary (I know when I got mine I could choose from two different wall thickness)

When you asy 1.2 tubing you are reffering to ID...RIGHT?

Yes, this is possible, but not ideal in the system GuitarWizzard is looking at. It's much easier to use it as a res for a single loop system. It cools better, gets higher flowrate, and has much less tubing floating around in the case. I don't think thats what GuitarWizzard is looking for.

his hose is 3/8in ID and the fittings on the block and rad are 1/2in OD...he needs a little hot water and they will go.

ok im gonna say this again man....all of the fittings he is looking at buyins is all 1/2in OD if the fittings where 1/2in ID they would have a 5/8in OD.....you keep getting those confused...
also the 3/8in tygon has has WILL fit over his fittings with a little help or hot water...but it would be prefered if he got 1/2in ID hose.

the setup looks decent but you can save some cash by getting a heater core and modding it...or spend 50 bucks and get a D-tek procore and shroud and save the work...the heater core and pro core will actually cool better man.
also I hear the maze4 works well but kills flow like crazy...ive been a big fan of the maze3 or TC-4 my self.

why zip ties instead of clamps?

do you want it to leak?
 
I'd recommend clamps over zip ties anyday, clamps are much easier to remove and are specifically designed to CLAMP TUBING :p

I have the Black Ice Xtreme 2, I love it, excellent heatercore (6270 BTU/Hr) but it cost me $104, money I could have spent on extra RAM... :(

Next time I'll mod an old chevette heatercore... which seems to be all the rage these days.

I know it's messy, and has bubbles and things, but the pic was taken when everything was just installed. Things have been cleaned up and bubbles are non existant. Shrouds are also on their way in mail as we speak.

you want the 1/2 ID tubing, since the inner diameter of the tubing has to match the outer diameter of what its plugging into. think about it :)

also yes, get a bunch of clamps. personally I got a heater core but thats just me.

and i got a t fitting instead of a res, but again thats just me

NO NO NO. all of those are untrue.

1) a res DOESNT COOL BETTER
2) how could it give HIGHER FLOW RATE, its one more thing the pump has to push through?
3) you have to go out of your way to attach tubing to something else you have to find space for, hows that less?

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THREAD. Do not take my comments out of context if you don't understand what I am responding to.

I wrote that in response to a post that said the bayres is MEANT to be used for a parallel water cooling system. My above response says:

1) The res will give you higer flowrates IF you set it up for single inlet and outlet rather than dual inlet and outlet. Therefore cooling will be better (high flow rates = better cooling). I have already PROVED that water does not cool in the reservoir in this thread:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=731758

2) By setting up your res with single inlets and outlets, and not putting the components in parallel, you will save tubing.

See?

I hope so.

Please please PLEASE read and understand the whole thread before you respond. This will save both my time and yours.
