okie dokie ... been a bit quiet, but I haven't given up yet!

Burned out my pump last week, so had to wait while a new one came in:




My new pump + 1 with the obligatory Petra's pen and note pic. Decided to get two pumps, cause I might as well do another loop.


Here's one pump opened up. I watched the installation video on Petra's site, so figured I couldn't screw this up - note the large O-ring left in the old top - gotta transfer that to Petra's top:




That was so easy, I installed the top on the other pump as well. Tested out the first pump in my old loop - all works well.


Now - on to the new stuff. Decided to go back to my ASUS P5N32E-SLI board:




Since I was taking everything apart, thought I'd try these:




And, all the blocks mounted on the motherboard:





Hey - wait a minute, what's this on the floor under the table:




Crikees $#@%& ... so much for me knowing how to install the tops on my pumps. Took apart the one I hadn't tested, sure enough - it was missing the O-ring. Whew, glad I found that before I hooked it up.


And now ... a couple pics of my new loop during leak testing:






Slight problem with my loop. The small loop connecting the mosfets isn't going to work - gotta figure something else out.
