  1. So, I drain the loop, and I can use the same stuff, as long as I put some PT-Nuke into it as well?
  2. What do you recommend I add to the coolant? I put almost an entire liter of coolant in the system, and I ordered 2 liters of the stuff. Or should I just toss it all and get all new coolant?
  3. So, drain and rinse-out with distilled. Then refill and continue on?
  4. I have just noticed that the coolant I use has changed color. The coolant I am using at the moment, is Alphacool CKC clear. I have not added anything to the coolant. No dyes, anti-corrosives, or anit-microbials. I know that things like this are not normal, but I put this loop together late October/early November. Is this corrosion? Chemical leeching of the tubing?
  5. I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me. I'm looking for some particular fans. Specifically, UV LED-lit fans, not the UV reactive kind. I want to add some UV effects to my watercooling loop, but I would rather not spend another $100-ish dollars on a UV light kit, if there's a fan out there that can do what I need. Here's a pic that will hopefully help: Replace the blue fans with some UV LEDs, and that's exactly what I'm looking for.
  6. Thanks for that. I honestly didn't know that. We kinda, sorta found that out, when we removed the pwm connector from the motherboard and it started up. Well, I learned something new today.
  7. Help! I'm water cooling my pc and the pump won't power up. The psu is supplying power. Some of the fans light up, and we can get them to do so. Right now, the pump is an Alphacool VPP655 pwm pump. Theory 1- the pwm connector is in the wrong place. Solution 1- that doesn't matter. Pwm does nothing until the system is powered up. Theory 2- the power connector is bad. Result 2- entirely possible. LED fan is powered by same cord pump is connected to. Theory 3- pump is dead. Result 3- please God no. That's the worst case scenario. Please, I'm on my knees, help a brother out.
  8. My Mobo is an ASUS X99-a/3.1. I don't have enough fan headers in the right places, to run each fan and the pump off their own header. Didn't want to risk running every fan off of 1 hub, so using two splitter cables felt like the better option.
  9. Right now, the current plan is to use a 3-way splitter cable with some TT Riing 12 fans on top, and a 2-way splitter and some undecided 120mm SP-optimized fans. Most likely 1500 rpm Vardars. I don't expect any of those to pull a great deal of power at all. EDIT: With people asking stuff like this, why isn't it in more videos, even if it's just done to idiot-proof something?
  10. @0ld_Chicken the pump is PWM, there's no red dial at the bottom. Also, is it better to use a hub for the fans, or is a splitter cable better?
  11. I was looking at the pump I will be using for my custom loop, the Alphacool VPP655, and it raised a question in my mind. There is a 4-pin Molex connector with 2 pins, and a PWM fan connector. Do I need both of them plugged in to run the pump, or is it an 'either/or' situation? If there's someone who could explain this to a first-time water cooler, that would be wonderful.
  12. I noticed in Radeon settings, that video card #1, in the top slot, reads as being at PCI 3.0 and at 16x. The second one, reads as being PCI 3.0, but at 8x. Here's a screenshot from Crimson for #1: Here's the same for number 2: I wish to apologize for the crap quality, but meh. According to Intel, my cpu, the 5820K, has 28 PCI lanes. According to ASUS's manual for the X99-A/USB3.1 mobo, for PCI 3.0, video cards go into slots 1 and 4, and it's 16x in both slots. What's going on? Have I done something wrong?
  13. My case, Corsair 750D, has a dust screen/filter on the top of it, so I'm thinking pull down through the top.
