Hi, I have a problem with my new build, can't get the fluid round my loop, been trying for three nights without sleep. I have four rads, to in roof & two in the floor, two d5 pumps & two res. Originally going to do one loop but would not flow. Split to two loops & bottom one is fine. Top loop will not flow. Tried going to cpu then rads & back to res/pump combo but no joy. Tried rads first and still no good. Posting this on my phone as not got pc at the moment. Any suggestions very welcome. Thanks Glen
 
hmm, obvious question.. pump is powered or functional?
another silly and obvious question, out to device and into the res, right?

what parts are you using for the CPU loop, since that is the problem loop?

I had that issue once, i opened the res and turned the pumps to max.

Solved my problem, is worth a try!

Keep us updated!

hi, just built a rig to get access to here. My set up is as follows, Alphacool dual bay res with built in D5 pump, into alphacool cpu block, out of cpu to alphacool 360x45 rad, out of rad into identical rad, into pump/res. Pump is turned to maximum. I am using the top two ports as outlet/imput. I have tried all different routes of tubing & using a combination of rad outlets all to no avail. Will add some pics shortly. Both radiators are in the top of my case, total length of tubing is is just over a metre.Thanks to all who have replied.

It sounds obvious but have you put enough fluid in? Is the reservoir containing the fluid for the upper section full and not pumping around? It could be an air blockage. You can try gently turning the pc on it's side to dislodge air pockets but really as you fill the reservoir with the pump on the system should be filling fine.
 
Oh .. these large bubbles can be a real problem. Try to get the reservoir up as much as you can shake your case and get full load on your pump ..
 
Hi, thank you for the reply. I have the pump on full & the res/pump combo is immediately below the rads & above the CPU block. I have shaken, turned it upside down, basically every position possible but it still does not flow all around the loop. If it was not for the fact that it cost so much I would thrown the ******* out of my window & started again. It must be something simple that I am doing wrong but I am not clever enough to work it out. The reservoir is full apart from the top few mm as if I try & fill the last bit it leaks out due to the location of the fillport. Forgot to mention, I am using the top two ports for inlet/outlet, does this make a difference? Thanks again for your help. Glen

It looks like you have both in and out connected to the 2 different sides of the dual top....

Hi, Thank you for your reply, yes i do have both connected to different sides at the top. I will try what you have recommended. This res/pump combo does have a divider in it, it is all one chamber. Is that what you are thinking? Thanks again Glen

Connect them to the same side as the pump.


And i accept payment in cookies. :lol:


At least you didnt leave the sticker on the block....like someone I can mention.
 
Hi, I am willing to pay anyone who is local to me to get it sorted out. Have you changed your user name? Thanks Glen
 
Hi, I am going to do as advised later this afternoon when i get back from Sheffield. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks Glen
 
I think it's not allowed to sell help in this forums. I try to have the reservoir higher, than the rest of the system, then these bubbles won't appear ..
 
Hi, I am not trying to buy or sell help. That was me trying to explain how I feel about the problems I am having. Sorry if it appears I am. Regards Glen

Did you even read the last few posts?

The res placement has nothing to do with his issue,he has it connected wrong.

No one is selling help,its a joke,i dont get paid in cookies.....
 
I have got someone who has one to strip it down and show me the waterpath.
The inlets dont matter which side they are on,i was incorrect,they dont flow back they way i thought they did.

Apologies.

Is the water level above the central inlet in the res?
Lay it on its end,PCI slots down then try it
MOP is probably right on the money.

Can we have a full side shot? pics of components rather than the loop as a whole isnt clear.

And whats that Koolance D5 top doing in the second pic?
