This thread has been a great read. Such a peculiar problem sounded really hard to figure out.

I'm so glad you finished your build. I was thinking your lldad would want you to solve the problem not skip past it. You have done everything possible so I'm sure he would be proud.

Loved reading this.

Nice one Tony!

Great news Tony, I've been following this thread and pleased you finally resolved your issue.

It makes a nice change to see a thread like this with people helping someone out with a problem in this otherwise poisonous sub-forum.

Agree, the community really came through on this one. Had some great help not just in here, but trust messages and emails as well.

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

I did that once *Red Coolant* Pulls pipe off to a jug, half of it everywhere, and only a little bit in the jug.

Those where the days!

Have you thought about doing a range of quick disconnects to go with your waterblocks ?

Glad this is finally sorted, been an interesting thread to lurk.

Enjoy it man, you've earnt it.

TonyTurbo78 · 6 Oct 2015 at 09:31

thx guys. Absolutely loving it

water temps stay around 31c during heavy gaming sessions and the hottest card temp I've seen was so far is 40c. That was running the Vardars on the rad at their lowest setting via the fan controller just as a test. Really really impressed as the cards are now at 1150 core.

Hear hear. I didn't have any advice unfortunately but followed this thread closely. Really glad you got your (bizarre) problem sorted and your new PC looks sweet!

After hours and hours troubleshooting I eventually gave up trying to figure out this exact same issue myself.. Followed by weeks of frustration I stumbled upon this thread and boy oh boy!
Beautiful how this all went and came to a conclusion/solution for you and now for myself aswell..

Had the same issues, removed the pump from my rig and boom~ solved!

I almost can imagine how you must have felt when you finally found the culprate.
Registered just now so I could let you know

TonyTurbo78 · 31 Jan 2016 at 09:26

Thats great news, out of curiosity had you been using the same xspc d5 proton 170 pump?

Mandem · 31 Jan 2016 at 20:21

Not the same pump aswell as a different monitor;
EKWB pump+res combo "EK-XRES 140 DDC 3.2 PWM Elite (incl. pump)" and the Asus MG279Q 1440p 144hz FreeSync monitor.

I gave up on trying to figure out what exactly is happening, as it goes far beyond my knowledge..
One thing for sure; This whole day has been absolutely perfect without any issues whatsoever from the moment I swapped out the pump/res for my friend's spare "140 Revo D5" unit, also from EK.

Filling out RMA info as we speak, hoping for the best~
