Finally put all the pieces together to leak test but think I done somethings wrong or could of done better :o
Silverprop Cyclone SE P478 waterblock
Clearflex 60 1/2" ID tubing and Norma hose clamps
Bravo Heatcore + 2x 120x38mm Panaflo 109cfm fans sucking off the shroud
MCP600 rev1 with fixed pump head
PCcasegear cyclinder res with 1/2" barbs vertically standing
Nulon Ultracool 1/10th of 2L mixture
520W Topower Gold Triple fan PSU with paper clip to short green ATX and black to start psu by itself.
multimeter reads the PSU's 12V as 10.51v
1. i think i used too much tubing length as i planned to setup the DIY stuff externally on the floor and the bench setup is up high on desk - see below for extact setup
2. i can't see if the water is moving. I did see some flow in the res barbs and bubbles in the little gap/empty top area of my res but now there's no bubbles to be seen. How do i check to see if water is flowing ?
setup is like this
- could it be the under volted 12V rail on psu is lowering the pump's power to pump the water around as it took ages filling the res and getting the water to fill all the tubing ?pump inlet -> 15cm tubing -> res's lower barb - res's upper barb -> 35cm tubing -> radiator -> 200cm tubing -> waterblock -> 200cm tubing -> pump
- too long a tubing ?
I'm leak testing now, but with my above setup listed, if there were leaks where would I most likely look for them ? I've screw in tightly the Norma hose clamps and i doubt they'd leak.
oh and how the hell will i change waterblocks or add the flow meter to the setup ??? or change the water ???
help is very much needed and appreciated
