    This is a very great and clean guide, congrats Lardarse
    Just a question i got about this part of the guide :
    "After the overnight vacuum, close both valves and switch the hose from the vacuum pump to refrigerant R22 or the refrigerant you want to charge with. R22 is good taking way moisture as it has quite a high affinity for it. Break the vacuum by opening up the high side valve to about 10 PSI. Leave it for an hour or so, then vacuum for another hour"

    How much refrigerant will this procedure suck? 10 psi x 1 hour, I only got a 750ml R22 bottle, dunno if it will be enaugh for a triple vacuum+ system fill :?:

    Sorry perhaps that was a lil misleading, what I meant was break the vaccum with a bit of R22 ~10 PSI and leave it for 1 hour or so with the valves closed and then vaccum agaion.

    Perhaps this is asking to much but could you perhaps make printable versions (with images) of these reviews?

    tictac, looks good and just the way I do it!

    BTW, mounting Hole database for the convenience of people DIYing evaps or adapting waterblocks or Vapochills to fit the new sockets. Includes Graphics cards as well.

    hey shamino, that dual-evap guide was killer! - same as the other guides, really helps getting us noobs a foundation of knowledge to base our own "experiments" on .
    on checking the evaps you made in there, i was wondering how good they are, since they seem to be easier to build. the temps your system offers with those seem good, but do you have a compare like with using another evap, the drilled ones of your cascade for example? how good are these (and how much of a difference, if any, did your old style evaps deliver) at holding the temps under a longer period of heavy load (sp 32m or a bunch of loops of 3d05) ?

    you wrote that on your first try the captube was clogged during brazing when running it inside the suction line for subcooling. what do you think caused that - the brazing of the captube on the innermost "shell", brazing during the following shells or brazing the suction line / flex to the evap?. if it was the first, you might have left a small length of captube into the innermost shell (if you didn't do that already) so it wouldn't be so close to the brazing... (doh what a clumsy description i made here.... ) - just a thought
    sky / s!p - we are oldskool, dammit.

    The caps evap work great with a thicker base like 5mm + if you squeeze a lot of caps into it. I would say not a big difference from my older evaps.
    I think the wisest thing would be to braze the cap tube onto the second final cap just enough to secure it in place. The cap tube is less likely to melt or get brazed shut this way.

    Thanks.

    Don't you need to reclaim the original refrigerant when regassing a prommie?

    With regards to a dual Evap system...
    Can't you just put the evap heads in serial? Condenser->Dryer->CapTube->CPU->vacuum line->GPU->more vacuum line->vac-side of compressor?
    Seems easier than splitting the lines up post-dryer!

    Nice pages, though!!!

    Oh, bummer...
    I guess that makes sense. Just seems like the suction lines are frozen clean up to the intake on the compresser or atleast almost... Looks to me like a lot of the refrigerant is boiling off way after the wee little evaporator.

    Also... on a split dual evaporator assembly like the one discussed in this thread, how much overclock would I lose by splitting up my flow like that?
