Hahaha maybe I am best sticking to AIO's then, I dunno maybe at some point down the line I would like to do at least one custom loop

You're having some real bad luck mate. Hope it all gets sorted soon!

Every time I get a problem with my loop, I say to myself no more loops, so I start looking for an AIO, but still end up going full custom, it is an addiction.
I'm not sure if you've got one, but the DDC's are well known for over heating, so the EK heastinks are a must, they look pretty sweet too, I think they're only £15.

Yeah I know mate, it's the first thing I got when I got my first DDC
Next year I'll be building and maybe building a watercooled m-itx if I get this job.
Really really want to make a doctor who themed build.
I wonder if I can water cool a tardis???

You're not going to believe this, but I fixed the pump....ish....
So you know the EK heatsink for DDC pumps right? Well it turns out that when you first install the pump into it, it has a cut out for the cables, after having a closer look I noticed all 3 of the wire sleeving has been stripped less then 1mm so all 3 wires was making contact with the metal housing after using electrical tape and making a very small loop just to run a test the little bastard started working again....
So what have I learned from this? No matter how much research you do, nothing can prepare you for a s**ty piece of wiring and sharp piece of metal.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it
I'll going to ask a friend for a massive favour to solider new wires on the pcb and keep it as a backup.
Just have to wait for the new pump to turn up but I'm not sure when as special tech just ignored my e-mail

Congrats on finding it was such a simple problem, I will take note for when I fit my heatsink.
