Not sure if it would do anything but did you try to plug the pump head into a different header?

Ok it seems to be working fine now. I changed pcie slots then cleared cmos. Everything booted up. Idle temps below 30, not passing mid 40s in game so far. Will try running at load and see how it goes.

I will try to get pics when I get home today. I took the waterblock apart and out it back on. It did look like there was not a good connection too the GPU unfortunately. I'm hoping I did not fry it thiugh? It hit 93 degrees and shut down my computer. I turned it back on a few minutes later and everything booted fine, the temp was down to 46c I shut down computer and pulled waterblock off then remounted it, re did thermal pads, paste backplate ext. Now my computer powers up and I can not get any signal to either monitor or tv. Did I kill it?

I have removed the plastic. The pump is a res combo not labeled but I have the block that joins the pump to res as the out and the top of the res as the in. It clearly ran when I was first filling it (had to turn off many times to add water as it went into the tubing)

Is there a way to Is there a way to tell for sure the water is flowing other than feeling the pump vibration? I have colored opaque tubing. I have an xsoc crossflow rad as well. There's only an in and out, no other option.

Should I remove the little cap stopper from the top of the res to allow air out? I sealed the extra hole in after the leak test

Completed the leak test on my GPU loop yesterday. I am able to browse/do basic computer functions with it running at high temps from 40c-80c within minutes if entering any game the tos hit mid 90s celcius and system crashes. Is there anything I can do aside from take the block aosry and re do the whole thing?

I did not realize you could fully remove the outer ring. I could not get it through the tubing without doing this. Thanks

If I tighten them at all the tubing pops off so I assume I'm doing this wrong.

Unfortunately I don't have the room until my aio rad is gone (280) I can only fit the 240

Yeah I started with my gpu as I already had an aio on my cpu and am pushing my budget already. I will add it in later. I will double check but I don't believe there is any nickel thanks. If so do you recommend anything else?

Do these parts look good? Starting with single, will expand in future. Ek full waterblock for GPU, copper. Xspc flx uv red tubing 3/8. 5/8 Red Barrow compression fittings 6 of them, 3/8 5/8 again. Ek D5 res/pump combo Xspc 240 crossflow copper rad Silver coil (antimicrobial) Thermaltake static pressure ring fans

Did tgey respond to your request? I bought a ryzen 5 about a week after the release, sent a request to nzxt the next day, and got my bracket about 8 or 9 days later.

Yes seems I only hear good things about ek so this might be the easiest/most cost effective option

Yes I was looking at the s240 and s360 at $199 and $219, I was thinking that would leave me with the option to add my cousin or another gpu later if I wanted. Swiftech has some really inexpensive options as well but I am not sure of the quality?
