I just ordered this http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-Apex-Ultra-H20-220-pr-3198.html and http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-MCW60-VGA-cooler-pr-3252.html and http://www.jab-tech.com/Evercool-VC-RE-Twinkling-VGA-Cooler-pr-2291.html. I was wondering what I should do first... Should I install the air chipset, see how it is, then uninstall the cpu and gpu heatsinks? Can someone walk me through the whole entire process of prepping the system?

Im not really sure what to do... like install the blocks, then connect tubing, then fill? or what sequence? Thanks.

Also should it be pump>cpu>gpu>rad>res
 
What are you trying to do? I'm confused: why did you buy an air cooler and a waterblock for your GPU?
 
the air is for the chipset...

1 cpu waterblock
1 gpu waterblock
1 chipset heatsink

my rig is in the sig
 
okay b/c you have to remove the mobo to install the CPU block and chipset block... wait and do it all at once.....

do a moch up of you WC loop outside you case...... hook everything up and run for 8-12 hours to make sure for no leaks....... then install into case....

Jumpstart PSU to use pump in mock up...... connect the green main ATX wire to any black, I use a paper clip and shove it into the atx connector into both geen and black.... do not run PSU w/o something connected to it... it needs a load to run.

oh and order should be Res-pump-rad-cpu-gpu-res

res need to be before pump and higher than pump to allow proper flow into the pump.... pumps dont really suck well :) they push water so water need to gravity flow into the pump also rad after pump and before blocks so you get water directly after it is cooled... doesnt make a huge diff but that is how most people do it..
