Hey, I have now finished building my PC and have got windows on it etc. however on one of my tubes it is quite thin but it's not a kink in like one place, it's along the entire tube. Now it is only thin after i turn the pump on and water is flowing through it, so when it's off the tube is normal shape and all round and fine but as soon as i turn the pump on, the entire tube thins out. To me this seems like there is an imbalance of water somewhere and the other tubes seem to have much more. Could someone please offer me some advice about this? thanks.

Sounds like there could be a flow problem and the pressure is causing the tube to constrict. Just a guess i could be wrong.
It sounds like something similar to that. Anyone got any specific ideas and solutions?
Try taking the top off the res and running it
The top 'should' be on, sounds to me like its creating a vacuum, you may have stretched the hose or have a restriction somewhere dude.
By having the top of it just turned it into an open loop and allowed the preasure to dissapate.
Does it do it if you run it with the top on now?

There is no tubing stretching of which i can see throughout the loop, and I am currently running it with the top on but loosely and it's fine but if I do it up really tight then yes I'm pretty sure it does create a vacuum.
can you post some pictures of the loop please dude
I would do, however lent my camera to my sister as she is down in London. Will try to look for another but pretty sure I haven't got another, irritatingly. there are some pictures from before the actual tubing was on but of where it was going to go if thats any help?
now that I've loosed the top of the reservoir a bit everything seems to be ok, would the problem of been just the vacuum perhaps?
