Raijintek Triton AIO Water Cooling Solution

I've never tried an AIO cooler before as only used to air coolers before with no issues.
I have assembled everything and can get it into bios and windows, however the temps are not kept under control at all (temps climb to 70+ and crash under load), I've tried re-seating the cooler a few times without success.
I have noticed there is a fairly large air pocket in the AIO and am wondering if this could cause the issues, I have no idea if this is normal. Is it supposed to have air pockets and where in the system should they be?
I believe the pump is working as the light is on, although its hard to say as there is not monitoring available, just an adapter direct from psu.

ATM I'm lost as what to do to correct the issue or diagnose if I have a faulty unit.

Any suggestions for a complete newb to this stuff.

The problem is, its sold as a sealed unit and the warranty is void if I open it (Even to put the supplied dye in)

How am I supposed to get rid of the air in the system without voiding?
 
Hi, just looked at the photo's on OCUK's webby and its not a sealed unit.

The pump/res has a fill port, so put the pump under load, just tilt your case work the trapped air back to the res.

The coolant level should not drop that much.:)
 
Thanks OLDPHART
You are correct, its not technically a sealed unit, but it is sold as one. The fill port, if opened, voids the warranty, even if its to put the supplied dye in. Not happy about that, but I'm not that bothered about the dye, more about the function of the unit.

Anyway, I seem to have worked the air into the pump res which has improved things and re-seating too, but it still not as good as I had hoped. At least its not crashing and overheating now. Thanks.

AIO's are not very good, a good air cooler will be cheaper and out perform.
As for not been able to open the fill port i think your wrong there, i would ring OcUK and ask there advice on that one, having a fill port you can use is just stupid

Edit: also remember if your not happy with an item you can return it.
 
Quoted from the store page:
"Customer Notice:
The unit comes with a Warranty Void Sticker covering the fill port on the main unit. This is to prevent novice users from opening the system. By opening the unit to add the dye, the manufacturer assumes that you have a level of expertise required to carry out the task."
It also states about voiding warranty to use the dye in the instruction manual. It seem to defeat the point of the unit some what IMO. Oh well nvm, I can live with it.

I do kind of wish I had gone air now, but it is all working good enough now to keep the fx8300 at 4.9. I'm happy enough.

Had same problem, after getting all the air out, i was told to tighten it down little more for better seating! which helped a lot.
 
Only AIOs that seem to be holding up over time are Swiftech, and even they are having pump problems on their re-branded series. Their new H2xx-X series seem to be much better both pump and cooling ability.

I know of no CLC (factory sealed) systems that are better than top air, especially at same noise levels as top air.

Edit:
This Raijintek "slight of hand" of including dye packs and then saying adding it will void warranty if they choose to say a failure is the result of opening the systems is way over the top. Either include dye packs and warranty or remove dye packs. But teasing buyer with a dye pack is too much.

Definitely puts Raijintek on my "naughty list". :rolleyes:

"Now that the air bubbles have gone, what kind of temps are you getting?"
Now its all settled and re-seated, 4.9ghz at 1.475v in prime after some time its reaching low 60's. Every thing else runs somewhere in the low to mid 50's.
I still think I could tighten it down a bit more to improve this and will be adding some washers to the holding plate screws as the half holes for the screws are causing an issue tightening it down (Why they do this I do not know and seems to be AMD CPU problem only)
 
I have the Raijintek Triton and mine didnt come with a warranty sticker fitted or any mention about voiding the warranty.I cant see how adding dye that the company provides by opening the filler port which the company provides can/should void warranty for a failed pump unit.
Warranty on most things are very vague and companies rely on us consumers to accept everything at face value
I have installed the die and am getting idle temps of 25 and while bf4 gaming it never passes 69 on my i5 4690k running at 4.5ghz.
Mine as a static air bubble that sits in the reservoir just above the pipes so it cannot transfer around the loop.
 
if you read the OCUK page it clearly states it will only void your warranty IF you damage the unit while filling with dye otherwise you are more than safe to remove the cap and fill to your hearts content. If it fails it will be replaced, if you burn the motor out from running it dry it wont be replaced @_

@ OP Low 60's running prime on the overclock and voltage (Woah man that's a lot of volts!) is brilliant! really tempted by one of these now
 
What OcUK says really means little. OcUK does not warranty it, Raijintek does. And I couldn't find the warranty on their website.

I have read that they are no longer putting the sticker on the fill plug. ;)

Keep in mind this is only a 4 watt pump. H2O loop pumps cost about the same or more than the entire Triton with power ratings of 23+ watt.
 
Review from german site , added a Sapphire R9 280 into the loop + a 120mm rad

^ wack it into google translate ^

interesting read, he does note that running the pump @ 12v can be loud

pretty though!

Given his temps in the thread playing games I'd say it's pretty good for a 4watt pump and the flow rate is adequate
