Two versions of the Cuplex pro? Maybe you mean the silver edition? If so you don't need it - it's only eye candy and will not noteworthy improve cooling performance.
Get the copper version and be happy

A VRM (? *g*) colling block is available at Aqua Computer Berlin:



Copper version costs 17,90 Euro, aluminium 15,90 Euro. You should use thermal-glue to install them. But be warned: once installed it's really hard to get them off.

Plug n Cool is always 8/6 mm. It's easy to use and safe if you cut the tube off straight.

The fan controller for the two fans at the front of the PC-70 is very simple. It's a small circuit board with a slider which is mounted under the power- and hdd-led.
You can choose between 5, 7 and 12V. 5 is silent, 7 is noticeable and 12 just sucks ;D

It's no problem to mount the APE360 at the top of the case. It's also possible to mount APE360 AND Aquatube. There is enough space.

I think a 160 radiator won't be enough for a dual system. You should get at least the APE360.

You could take a look at my old Photostory. The PC-75 is identical to the PC-70 but it has a side-window.
Maybe you get some ideas cause there a lot of pictures.

Installing the Aquatube at the front is easy but you should know the following: the mounting-plate is ~2-3mm too short in the witdh. If you install it without a "spacer" or something else you will have a small gap on the left and the right.

With the Aquabay you can easily install the aquatube in two 5.25" drive slots. An nice feature: you can mount the pump at the backplate of the Aquabay. It builds up a compact unit.

The Version in the precast PC-70 uses a aluminium front. It differs a bit from the real Lian Li aluminium. The aluminium front can be found under 'ersatzteile' in the shop.

The Aquastram pump is a Eheim too. It's a modified 1046 with a motor that runs with 9V. The controller transfoms the 12V DC of the PSU to 9V AC.
Both pumps are good but the Aquastram is a bit quieter and if you use it togehter with the Aquaero you are able to overclock the pump.

The reason why I didn't use the Aquastream: it didn't exist when I ordered the first time ;D

But now I have one

...in the pc70 system you sell ?

Only for you information. I'm not a worker at Aqua Computer. I'm just a user like you

The spacer lies more or less between the case and the original plate. Here is a sketch where you can see what I mean:



I'm sure that the user is using the controller too. It's nearly impossible to run it without. Only way to go would be a transformer with 9V AC and that is only recommend as a emergency solution if the controller is faulty.
There are a lot of ways to hide the controller within the case
My controller ist attached to the back of the aquaero which tells me everything about the current status.

It should be possible to connect the 3x 120mm fans to the small controller but I have no idea if it can handle such a power consumption if you run them with 12V.

I have an other idea for you

You could get the Zalman Multi-Connector...



... and attach/modify the fan-connectors to your needs.
The picture shows two connectors with 12V (black) and two with 5V (white).

Black + red = 5V
Red + yellow = 7V
Black + yellow = 12V

360 Kit
This Kit has no cooler! You have to purchase it separate.

Cuplex 1.1 vs. 1.3
No idea why you want to know that because the shop has 1.3 only. The older versions have some differences at the copper surface and the plastic.
Or maybe you mean the cuplex evo with 1.1?

If so: the cuplex evo has a little bit better cooling performance. Buy what you like, the performance differnce is too small to say that the evo is worth its higher price. It costs more because there is more copper processed.

Flow of water
The order doesn't really matter. The temperature is neraly the same at every point in the system.
If you want to make sure to have a good flow you shuld get the cuplex 1.3 instead of cuplex evo. The evo has a bit higher resistance.

Spacer
I used the cut-out for airplex from the case as material. It's just the normal Lian Li aluminium.
The screws are long enough.

Position of pump
Doesn't matter too ;D Install it where you like. A lower position will help to fill the system without bigger problems.
You don't have to mount the pump with screws but it's more comfortable because so it can't move.

Aquaero
You have everything you need to run it. You will get 4 senors (2x70cm, 2x40cm) but you could connect up to six. If you want more or longer ones you have to buy them additional.
Fans are connected directly to the aquaero. If you need longer cables or want to connect two fans to one connector you will have to buy such a cable or adapter.

Well, and then you have a lot of optional accessories. If you are going to use the aquastream pump you should only order the pump and controller (it's cheaper cause you won't get the 3.5" plate). So you can mount the controller to the back of the aquaero. You also will need the connection cable "aquaero-aquastream ab Rev. 1.5 Verbindungskabel 10 cm".

If you want to check the flow you will need the sensor "Sensoren für das aquaero: Durchflusssensor", the connectors "Anschlusssatz für G1/4" and it's connection cable "Anschlusskabel für Durchflusssensor (für aquaero)".

Want the aquaero to shut down your system in case of emergency (too high temperature, no waterflow etc.) you will need "aquaero power connect ATX-Standby-Adapter 70 cm" and "Stecker 2pol. für Relaisausgang (für aquaero)".

Connectors / PnC
You will always need PnC connectors. They are set by default so you can't do anything wrong in the shop.

Nearly everything works with G1/8 PnC. The only things in the shop wich works with G1/4 PnC are the radiators and the waterflow sensor.

In the shop is a select-box "Bitte Anschlüsse auswählen:". Choose PnC and if you want them...

Bluemotion
Bluemotion is evil ;D I recommend to get the active blue tube. You can find it under zubehör -> Schläuche zum plug&cool-System. That tubes glows very nice when using uv-light (blacklight).

------

The best would be that you do a virtual order and post your list here so that we can see if everything is correct.

The order list seems to be ok.

If I were you I would use the cuplex instead of the cuplex pro. The resistance of the pro is quite higher and you are going to use two of them... In my opionion that's not a good idea. It would work but the question is how it will affect water flow.

The kit (radiator, aquatube) already have 'gerade' PnC connectors. You won't need to buy '2x Anschlusssatz für G1/4' (it also would be wrong cause the aquatube has G1/.

The aquaero has two windings on its back where you can mount the auqastream controller. Here is a photo, I can't find a better one. If you take a closer look you can see some parts of the aquastream controller. The small grey cable is the 'Verbindungskabel'.

If you would use that combination you won't need the 3.5" front-plate. Well, therefore you are ordering the kit it doesn't matter.

And don't get confused: that is a selfmade front-plate and an aquaero with a vfd-display

Papst fans have a 3-pin connector like the aquaero. I would recommend to get extension cables. The cables of the fans are a bit short - especially when you are using a big tower like the PC-70

Remember that the kit already has 3 meters of tube. 4 meters extra will make 7 meters ;D

A handy thing is the tube-cutter ('Schlauchschneider'):



Makes sure you will have a clean cut and the tube fits perfect within the connector. Maybe it is interesting for you.

By the way: if you want to have the aquatube in an other color (blue by default), just add this as a comment to your order.

The difference between all coolers is only around 1-3°C. Believe me: the best solution for you would be the normal cuplex

Hi Shoggy...

Is this only available from A-C Berlin or is it a standard A-C item? Is it long enough to use on a ASUS A8N-SLI board?

TIA

It's only available at AC Berlin.

The other question, no idea..

So it's not an A-C manufactured part or it's a special cooler manufactured by A-C strictly for A-C Berlin?

i think it's not an A-C manufactured part. ac berlin is just an official reseller, so they were able to add this block in their assortment

I really just want to know the beginners guide on how to set this up.

I do not know such a guide, sorry

ok so this is how i was going to set it up

Zitat

put all the cpu coolers and NB on top of the motherboard, connect all the tubing together.

Now for testing for leaks ? should i just connecting it all together with the motherboard in there, and just go for it ? or how should i test it ? rest the cpu coolers in the case, without the motherboard and check for leaks, then attached the parts to the motherboard ?

there is no right or wrong way to do that. some peoply test it outside the PC, which is of course nonsence if you do not know how long the tubes have to be.
I myselfe connected it all in the PC, put destilled water in (no ACfluid] and startet the pump, without having the PC on. so if there was a small leak the hardware wouldn't be defect because of a "kurzschluss" (don't know the word ) and waitet a few hours

Zitat

Also i have the flow sensor to attach, im using the pc-70 case, with the same setup as shoggy, sorry for copying Wheres a good place to attach the sensor ? been looking for a decent place to put it, with out the tubing having to bend alot.

You'll probably have to try this out, the flow is the same, whereever you put it.

Zitat

For the water, its 98% distilled water, (which is the same as battery water right ?) and 2% AC. How much will i need for my system, i know the guide book gave a range, is it better to go for the high end ? its only going to 3 elements, 2x cpu and 1x NB.

Yes, the water in Batteries is usually destilled water.You don't need much of it, below 1 l I think

Zitat

The aquaero temp sensors, how should they be attached ? if i want them to meseaure cpu temp, would i put them between the cpu cooler and cpu chipset ? otherwise how would you stick them down ?

you cannot measure the CPU temp which such a tem Sensor, you can just meassure the water temperature, which is almost the same in the whole cirquit

Zitat

final questions, letting the machine run its self in, how do you get rid of air in the system ?

if you test the system the way I did the air should be out afterwards. you can either wait or "shake" your PC

Zitat

Sorry for all the questions, thats all i the question i had !! just wanted to know all the answers before i started to put it all together !!!

Thanks

No problem, thats why we are here ;D
