Good question, mine went the same way a few weeks ago. Not sure if it's really possible or not.

I know nothing about it.
Also...
I just had the same issue. Just drain and refill and try to get as much water into the loop as you can before turning on the pump, and when you turn on the pump be sure it's cranked up all the way so...
Yep, I think it's that uphill climb to the first rad in the loop. Thinking I will just hide that rad on the back side of the case where I can mount it lower. Or maybe I should get another rad that...
Well, seems to be fixed. Drained, filled, started the pump at max speed, Whooosh, now it's quiet and flowing well. I'll break it all down on vacation in a few months but I doubt it's dirty. I think...
I need some opinions here, mostly because I'm very short on time these days and would rather avoid the usual experimentation.
A few weeks ago my old Swiftech MCP655 started making a horrible...
Yes indeed. Any problems with the GPU block? Didn't I hear that one had leakage issues?
One of the reviewers at TH recently ran into the motherboard stress thing as well. I think he ate through a couple MBs and CPUs before he realized the source of the issue was the weight of the Noctua...
I'm using that bay res. Careful with the vibration dampening... I had to order up a special bracket for my CaseLabs M8 to get rid of most of it. Also, you will need to keep it full and tilt it to the...
No that wasn't me. I'll go see if I can find it.
It's PrimoFlex Pro LRT UV Blue Tubing. What I worry about is the CPU block actually. Maybe I'll update it for piece of mind.
Thanks guys. I feel a lot better about it then. My last config lost almost half of the little Swiftech res volume over about 8 months, but I do use a good amount of tubing. Here's a quick link to an...
Fact or fiction?
My loop, recently re-done, still seems to be slowly loosing water. It's not much, maybe .5 oz every 6 weeks. I can't FIND a leak anywhere. Still, I wonder. If there was a tiny...
The design looks relatively leak resistant. This is the bay res I have been waiting for I think. Simple design means fewer potential failure points.... I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the...
This has been a great education. So ideally Emperor would water cool with his rads outside the room if possible, to keep heat in the room to a minimum and avoid the AC all together, which would...
So what this is all leading to is that the PC will actually produce less total heat if it is kept cooler? So the AC will work less?
If this is true there would have to be some datacenter charts...
The question has to do with the amount of heat being generated, not the relative GPU temps. Without some sort of link and hopefully some context that chart doesn't tell me much. Is the temp going up...
If I understand your question correctly, no.
No matter how you cool your PC, it is still generating the same amount of heat. Because a larger water system absorbs some of the heat at first, there...
Looking good. You might want to give a little more money to Intel for some insurance:

This helped another lurker I was helping at TH, so I thought I would chime in and say thanks for him.
You won't reduce the heat being generated by adding another rad, but you will spread it out more. The air will be less hot but since there will be more warm air coming from the other rad, the total...
Sometimes I think you are stalking me or reading my mind :) I was literally wondering about these fans for the first time last night, discussing a quiet build for a non-gamer over at TH. I come by...
I certainly haven't come up with a scenario where such a small amount of anything is going to hurt the loop over time. Provided it's not alive of course.
This is where I start to have trouble with this. All we know from these tests is the level of purity of the water. We don't know what the impurities are exactly or how they may affect a loop in the...
