    Zipties keep tube from flattening with a sharp bend. Then you get better water\coolant flow volume.

    Actually I went a step further and took a piece of the next size larger tubing (system is 12mm/16mm and wrap is 16mm/22mm),slit it lengthwise and wrapped it over the piece of tubing in question then used the zip-ties to hold it together. This provides a large amount of support and I have next to no deformation of the hose that was bent in half to begin with.

    29 hrs at work so far in the past 2 days made any thought of doing anything else less than even a dream. .....oh sigh.....

    Well Friday I got off work at a decent time and got to adjust the length of a couple hoses, tear everything down, put the final touches to the water system, fill and bleed it. It ran all night and most of today with no leaks or problems. So I installed the board, CPU and drives as well as installed the shroud gaskets (didn't install them earlier so I wouldn't mess them up) and re-mounted the blocks. I really like the Swiftech CPU and GPU blocks as they are a snap to remove and install. I will get to finish it all tomorrow some time and will provide a full report with pics on the whole process.

    I now have a problem as one of my pets made off with one of my 512mb sticks of Mushkin PC3500 Level II and chewed it beyond repair last week. Since it is the BH-5 chips and no longer made I cannot find it anywhere for a decent price. I only found one place that has them in stock and they want $190.00 for 1 stick! :hair: I don't want to do it but may have to so I can have dual channel again. :banghead:

    Of course I'm trying it but don't have high hopes. Even if they did replace it, what would I get??? BH-5 stocks have been run out for some time now and I do not want a CH-5. yuk! :mean:

    Pop the heatspreaders off the remaining stick and put them on the chewed stick.

    I wouldn't worry about having dual channel memory. I've done the benchmarks (as have many others), and it yelds very, very little performance diffrence (and by that, I mean the results are the same with or without dual channel).
