Bitspower dual rotary's leaking?

Ultim8 · 15 Nov 2009 at 14:49

Hi,

I started putting my rig together last night and i've had to replace a bitspower 45 degree dual rotary and a 90 degree triple rotary as they were leaking from the rotary joins. And now another 90 degree has started to leak again from the rotary joint.

Obviously with it being the rotary joints there little i can do but wondered if anyone else had experienced this?

Cheers

yeah think i must just be unlucky, bought a load of bitspower stuff and paid that extra compared to other brands because they are the best of the best and they failed on me lol.

And to answer a few of your questions shadowscotland.

Pumps are dual DDC 3.25 (2 Loops)
No solvent as they was still sealed in the original bitspower bags.
Possibly although maybe i just had a 1 in a million bad batch, generally bitspower rock.
Yes also possible

And yes the dual rotarys are very stiff however the ones i used were more easily rotating hence i used them first........ to get the replacements on i had to hold the collar with pliers and rotate the bend :-s

its official im the unluckiest watercooler..............just after getting everything sorted i put the machine on the last leak test....everything fine and dandy, put the side panel on so the toddler wouldnt rip it to pieces fired her up and began installing win7............went for a smoke..........came back...........nothing on the screen thought it was rebooting but it couldnt seem to kick in......reset cmos same thing........hmmmm noticed an air bubble by the cpu block........tocuhed air bubble and accidentally touched the compression fitting.........owww f$%£ thats hot.

When i slid the side panel on it must have just caught the power connector to one pump........looks like the cpu fried and i have a burnt finger and the tubing which was clear now looks a misty white near the block.

So new i7 920 D0 needed and redo the tubing.....b@llox
