Leakshield (leaks are a thing of the past!)

[D4N]

This is what it says about the using the universal version

“LEAKSHIELD must be installed above the reservoir and be connected to the top of the reservoir. This requires a vacant port in the top of the reservoir. The tube connecting reservoir and LEAKSHIELD should be installed in a straight line, inner tube diameter should be at least 8 mm - liquid in this tube must flow back into the reservoir automatically by force of gravity.”

I really want ocuk to stock other aquacomputer products like their NEXT flow meters.

Have you checked the web recently? wink wink?

Simple idea really, looks really good. Though in all my years of water-cooling I've never had a leak. Covers people that are a bit rubbish at putting their systems together though I guess.

I just watched that and was thinking about linking. Obviously it's not massively scientific but having it independantly reviewed and seeing it in action is pretty impressive!

 

[sdavlaws]

If the premium for this isn't to drastic when considered as part of a whole loop I would have considered it with my first one.

My days! Just seen them in stock elsewhere!!! Arggggh do i do a buy?!

 

[Ventti]

I'm so excited for this! Does anyone know the LEAKSHIELD is compatible with EK's D5 pump res combo unit?

Yo
Any eta when Overclockers might stock on it?
I'm about to build workstation with amd 5000 threadripper and I would like to try water & have this as a security measure...
TIA!

Try asking ocuk directly
There's a new products section of the forums
That's where I asked previously
When they confirmed that they would be getting it
Maybe now they may have more idea of ETA

I love the idea of this, and I like Aquacomputer products, but how the hell is this going to work if you have pressure fluctuations in your loop from temps? Run it on all the time?
I can't see it as being necessary, but if you want to pay the premium for peace of mind, all the power to you.

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Yeah it's not strictly necessary
But neither is a full custom loop lol
Or having 2 pumps just in case 1 fails
No idea of the physics of pressure changes
Due to temperature fluctuations in coolant
But would imagine they aren't sudden changes
Since water doesn't heat up and cool down rapidly
Given the amount of energy involved
And the fact there's always some energy being input
Even at idle
It's software controlled so guessing it can tell the difference
Between pressure differential due to temperature
And sudden drop due to a leak
Though it does state if not using it connected to aquacomputer
Reservoir you will need to train it so to speak with the parameters

 

[d_brennen]

The change in liquid volume at the sort of temperature ranges in PC water cooling would be absolutely tiny.

Great idea, hope this becomes a standard in water cooler systems

Think there's a couple problems
With it becoming standard
The cost obviously
And would imagine AIO way outsell custom loops
So some way of integration into AIO would be a big factor
The other is if you don't have aquacomputer reservoir
Yeah there's the universal version
But it's untidy and takes more space up
Really Think some sort of simple threaded adapter
Allowing connection to any reservoir should be available
Though haven't seen if anyone has been able to fit it
Directly to a different manufacturers reservoir or not yet

 

[im4gine3]

good concept and i like the idea however feel its more of a gimmick than a necessity. I can only see people having one of these if they are constantly paranoid about possible leakage and damage to systems and even then, assuming you are not using tap water shouldn't damage your parts. Touchwood none of my components have died from a leaking loop

 

[Grim5]

It's not just the leaks

it's also very good at filling or flushing the loop for you, pressuring it and removing air bubbles. Which can all be annoying to do manually
