Luc, Iv'e literally drained and filled this loop more than a dozen times in the last week..all I can say is thank god I put a drain valve in the loop and it works so effectively lol.

So true!!!! When I started watercooling, I didn't install any sort of drain solution....I quickly learn it was a bad idea lolll.


Ok guys, pump/res combo detached from case, held on to it and tested, still black screening under test. Oddly tjough, when I drop the core mhz by 100, no black screens. These cards were doing 1150mhz for fun on air previously so I know it's not the cards. I ran 950mhz on core and no black screens.

30c to 35c on the core, 41c vrm1 and 57 on vrm2.

Maybe the pump and the higher frequency interfering somehow? I don't know, just randomly guessing here lol. ocuk sent out a new pump this evening so will get that in the loop tomorrow night and see what's what.

This is such a weird issue! At least we will know if the pump is the culprit with the new one in place soon.

Yep totally strange issue indeed luc. it's definitely linked to the pump as we've established, but why does it black screen on DP only when using a core clock higher than 950mhz when I was running 1150mhz on core on air??? Not one black screen back then, but now it's 50c cooler it black screens lol. mayhems pastel must be non conductive right for coolant?

Strange. pump has to sort it tomorrow, surely.

I could be wrong but any coolant will become conductive after a while but there shouldn't be anything to leak current into it.

So unless there's a problem with the pump the EMF thing is more likely. Assuming lower clocks on a card equate to a lower dp signal clock preventing any interferance :confused:.

(I might be making a theory out of nothing here :D)

thx guys. I would love to know as well, what on earth was wrong with the other pump to only screw around my Display Port. Strange, must have been a very peculiar set of circumstances indeed.

I'm chuffed to bits now, looking lovely in the lounge. Now I got a day of installing all my programs and games again lol.

Thank you all so much for the massive support in this, couldn't have got through it without all your help.

Take a bow all. My dad will be so pleased :) Feels like I've completed his wish :)
