Awesome mod dude !!

I was thinking of doing this now to my Seidon 120M as well, but also extending the build with another Rad - perhaps a 240 but at least a 120 - but having said that, I know that many people are saying that the pump in the AIO unit

wont be capable.

 

So what I was thinking of was to maybe add a Dual Bay pump/res combo from XS-PC http://www.xs-pc.com/products/pumps/x2o-750-dual-5-25%E2%80%9D-bay-reservoir-pump/

Not sure if this will push the flow too hard when it gets to the actual Seidon CPU/Pump block and cause any damage or accelerated wear and tear on that unit ?

If that is going to be a bit too much pressure, then would a micro res option perhaps be a better and more suitably tame option for such a project, say for example this little XSPC X2O 450 Pump/Res combo that comes in this kit @ the link ?

Just the pump tho of course, not the whole kit. I couldn't find a link that only has just the Pump/Res combo.

Hi K1LLRAD!!! 

that's a good plan, but i think a combo res/pump will push hard on the Seidon, i think the combo res/pump have higher rpm and moves a bit more water than the seidon,

if your'e Seidon works fine for you and you are looking for a small improvement without spending too much then what i did would help..

I had about 10 to 15 degrees less when i modded my h60, if your'e looking for a much bigger difference then i guess i have to suggest that you do a full custom water cooling,

 but if you really want to add a combo, try this..

or maybe adding a larger diameter tube may help slowing down the flow of water from the combo to your seidon!! hehehey!!! that might be a good idea.....

yeah, it bothers me to, it is a constant air leak and no matter how i re arrange the fan and rad it's still the same , but ever since i did the modification temps are lot lot lower so i did not bother on changing the fan, thank you

What you did there is aweosme. I have a H60 myself and I wanted to buy parts for a custom loop. But I think I will try your method because all I need to buy is a reservoir, and makes the system look amazing. Congrats man. :)

thanks, but before you modify your h60, maybe try listing your temperatures, do some benchmarking, it adds up to the fun,

Hah. Ok, I'll do that and maybe I'll post my results. I'll be entering vacation by the end of this month, and I'll have enough time to do that. :)

have you tried orientating the rad outlets to be above so that air will be easier to bleed out from the loop?
