i think my watercooling loop is leaking

[carguy86]

i have built a watercooling loop using all ek commponents (wich i would assume are fairly high quality) but recently i have had to replace the Stock top of my reservoir With an x3 multi port top and im not sure if the leak is stil there or not. (there is still blue dust/residue in the basement of my haf xb evo but i think its from the coolant i spilled when i was building by loop)

as far as i can seethe coolant Level isnt dropping anymore, it was dropping when i had the Stock reservoir top.

It takes a while to bleed air out of a new loop, you should investigate for the leak if you're worried however.

i have looked through my case, i cant find any moisture, only some blue dust/residue.

Paper kitchen towel, put it on where it might be leaking from like you should of done while leak testing, if your coolant is blue you'll see it on white kitchen towels instantly.

Don't ship it full of coolant, it will die.

Very, very, very bad idea to ship it out to Hamar if it is leaking. That would mean you'll spend TG without your computer because you need to dry them out (optimally for several weeks). If it survives the ride, there are plenty of people at TG that would be able to help you out.

will ship it there With the loop drained
