Looks like the top took the sleeving with it, lol.

LOL, Well, I ordered murdermod white sleeving as the stuff i got before really sucked, so I was planning to re-sleeve anyways...:P @Churchy, yeah those pumps judt blast through anything and yes, maybe it is a bit of overkill. I think I will RMA the old one since the new one came in and keep a spare incase the same thing happens...:P

Sooooo.......I bought a new triple top and the new one looks sealed much better than my first was, I think I just received a defective one from the start. I also Emailed XSPC and they are shipping me a another one for free!! LOL, So i guess I will just sell it off....Oh and if anyone one wants the failed one to try and fix it I will give it to you!! :P

Has anyone talked about how or why you should use long 90's so you diminish the need for high head pressure pumps? ( Short 90's are the things you find at Lowes or Depot {in the US}. Long 90's are used in HVAC systems- for the same reason water cooling needs them - for every short 90 used that adds 8 times the diameter of the pipe {or that's the way it was explained to me by an hydraulic engineer, to me.} With an ID of 1/2 inch, that can add up real quick.) In many ways those bends using PETG Hard Tubing are a lot better for your system then all those 90 fittings {YES. I know the actual water block add resistance, but they don't add resistance like TEN short 90s do}.
What I find really funny are the people who are using larger pipe are getting better flow through their system {somewhere on Youtube they are showing someone who is actually using ID 1/2 inch pipe. Sure I know 0.472441 inch pipe [12mm] is just a little less than 1/2 inch pipe, but they are using the inside of the pipe to thread all their 1/4 fitting into}.
Heck if they made 3/4 inch pipe with all the fittings you would find even a better flow through your loops. Then the issue would be do you have big enough Radiators to dump all that heat?
One other side to adding all those pumps - there is a heat issue coming from those pump. Example: I had a problem with a sprinkler system with people leaving the pump on but turning all the discharge valves off. After while the pump would make steam and I ended up having to replace the pump if the pump was made out of plastic. Now I know these pumps are not that powerful, but they can still add 40-50 watts of heat to your water given time. That heat has to go somewhere, which means that heat has to be dumped from your radiators {and it does not help that our computer rooms run over 70 deg F normally [fun fact - people normally put out 200 watts per hour- that that fact has to be put into the equation per person for HVAC systems for high rises and large building]}. With that information think about the latest CPU that intel has put out- I know that my 4 core air cooled can put out 212 degs F with a room at 72 deg F just running a antivirus program (it's why I am working on making a water cool RIG). I am cool with bling. But with my system, I am using two Alphacool NexXxos ST30 Full Copper Radiator 560, 140mm x 4, Quad Fan to cool the CPU and the memory. And one Alphacool NexXxos ST30 Full Copper Radiator 560, 140mm x 4, Quad Fan to cool my GTX 1080 GPU (with the idea if I need more radiators, I can add later - I am still working on it).
