again looking for some advice here please.
new tube res came yesterday and some new fittings.

Here my problem, pump works fine on XSPC Acrylic Tank .
so drained loop, added new tube, res, added pump top to Laing DDC-Pump.
added water. switch on pc, you can hear pump. but that is it, no water moves at all. everthing becomes hot quick. .
so started from scratch. tryed pump on xspc tank, , all good.
added top to pump again, added tube res. same again ,, no water moving.
got me baffled, what am i doing wrong. any 1 have idea.
everything secure, no leaks ect (yet:()
 
Take the pump out, connect some tubing to both the inlet and outlet. Get a bucket of water, put the inlet side into the water and suck on the tube on the outlet side to see if you can pull water through.

Is the middle port the inlet in your loop?

If so, is it actually getting water?

Red is inlet
Blue is outlet (only use on at a time :p)
 
I have the plexi version and going purely on looks it does appear that the top left could possibly be used as an inlet. For the sake of certainty, i'll stand by my original statement until someone can 100% confirm that :)

I know it can definitely be used as an outlet

It doesn't matter now I guess :) but I have that exact alphacool top using the two top ports - one as inlet one as outlet - plugged in and working in front of me :D

cant throw any more ££ to this now lol, 2 set tubing, fittings, pump/top, res. should have stayed on original build, these upgrades bugs :mad::mad::mad:
so looking for as much info/help as can get, was easier with pump/res combo :)

thanks again :)
rad to cpu, cpu to card, card to 140 rad, 140rad to pump, pump to res, res to 360 rad ?

was hoping this correct way with case
