No, temps should not increase. Flow is not always related to cooling performance. If you can lower the pump speed you lower the amount of heat dumped into the loop (the pump adds heat, it's an...

Using antikink at this point is just bandaging the problem. Are you able to decrease the pump flow at all? The only ways to fix this issue (as far as I know) are:

1. Find out where you have the...

Vinegar is the suggested method for cleaning copper radiators. The hotter the vinegar, the more it "burns" away the copper. I've used room temp and never had any serious issues, but I also don't let...

I do agree somewhat with that, in the sense that they sometimes (especially my father) forget the variables used in projects like this. For example, it took a while to convince pops that water wetter...

I'd be down as well. This is EXACTLY what my father kept referring to and this type of product is what he envisions scientifically correct/efficient PC watercooling (he's a retired cooling/thermal...

Well for one, using only corrosion inhibitor doesnt help for other issues so you need a killcoil as well. With antifreeze it's an all-in-one solution available in almost every color. I like using the...

I personally recommend Car Antifreeze (I use Mercedes Benz orange from my local car shop). I put maybe a shot glass into my loop and I've had several loops setup for clients that required zero...

Tested and it works on a E5300.

I get sad when I see threads like this with people cleaning their blocks and watercooling parts out. It's a shame that people hate on glycol-based coolants because it ever so slightly lowers your...

I see no issue with the dyes discoloring/staining the tubing. I knew my glycol based coolant was going to stain my tubing when I first put it in, but it doesn't stain anything else. Tubing is also...

Great April Fools joke! Played a few rounds and enjoyed it thoroughly. Nothing is more intense then flying through another ponies pink destruction cloud...

In the flow simulations I see some issues with this design. It seems by having the output offset that you aren't effectively cooling one corner of the block as well as the other side. That being...

Depends on how dirty the impeller is. I'd just run your bleach mixture through it if you didn't have any huge issues with debris at the beginning.

A trick I used to purge components of debris/crud was to remove the aerator on a faucet, connect 1/2" tubing straight up to a barb on the radiator from the faucet (I forced the tubing into/onto the...

This looks amazing. I'd use this over the Corsair kits simply because I have the ability to refill them when they do have issues. I've avoided the corsair/astek offerings because I can't refill them...

I've found the biocides (such as the sulfates that petratech sells) to be good, but I like being able to set something and just forget about it no matter what gets into my loop. I also don't use a...

For some reason, people dislike or sway away from using glycol (the stuff inside radiator fluid) even though when used properly, it allows you to not worry about mixed metals or corrosion/algae and...

LOL!

Gratz Charles :)

I still have my original D-Tek. I should probably ketchup it and re-assemble it. Maybe make a new bracket for it? Anyways nice rocketfish! I had one myself when they went on sale. I wish I had picked...

I'm still amazed that companies like asetek try to keep making all-in-one kits that are rated to last X years. Eventually they won't work, similar to how a fan won't work on a heatsink after so many...

I'd love to talk to you next time you are down here, especially if it involves stories about SVC. I don't know why but that place is addicting even after leaving, lol. Like a train wreck I guess.
...

SVC repurchases everything from other vendors, and what we didn't repurchase was offered to other vendors before us. I can't think of any product they carried that was unique to them. They stopped...

SVC is just barely alive. Another manager, a new employee, and I left in February. The only guy left is someone without any knowledge, and not being rude but I'm almost positive they hired him for...

80mm Radiators rising from the dead ;) (along with fans!)

First of all, I would avoid buying from SVC. As a previous Store manager I will keep it frank and say they DO NOT care for anything but profits. The owners treated employees with utter disregard; the...
