Circulation problem

What CPU block are you using?

As others have said, you should have no power running to any of the PC components until the loop has been filled, bled & checked for leaks. You've obviously spent a lot of money on your components, it'd be a shame for them to be ruined by a water leak etc...

If you're local to Sussex I'd be happy to give you hand if you want

Not there but thanks anyway.
 
You should seriously take up someone's offer to help you here - you've got a lot of expensive equipment, and you need someone on hand to advise.

Where in the country are you? I'm sure someone local will be willing to help.
 
Not into external help tbh.
Bought some red coolant to properly see where the liquid is flowing; The loop is circulating, BUT the pc shutsdown after 1 min sometimes rebooting and no picture on the monitor.
Any suggestions?

I may have discovrerd the issue:

When pouring the collant in the pump the water goes through all tubes in its cycle, but after that the pump doesnt push the fluid anymore, no bubble shaking" in the reservoir?
Whats the cause of this?

Had this problem before and am sure its the cause of the pc not starting and shutdown due to overheating, just dont remember how to fix it)

I take it you ran the parts aircooled first. Just to prove nothing was DOA?

yh

Is it possible the pump cannot push fluid if there is too much in the res.

Reason im asking is because the liquid was flowing with little in the res before)

All I have connected to the pump is a molex connecotr for power, is this right?

Please, for the sake of your own wallet - until you've sorted out the water cooling properly - UNPLUG EVERYTHING ELSE.

This includes the motherboard, graphics cards, hard drives, CD drives.

The ONLY thing that should have a power connection at the moment is the pump.

By continuing to attempt to power up the computer with it in this state, you are risking destroying hundreds of pounds worth of equipment.

This is why many of us are asking you to tell us roughly where you are, and to accept help. Water cooling isn't necessarily complicated - but you have made a number of fundamental mistakes so far, and having someone there to guide you can make all the difference, and make you feel more confident.

If you're worried about people visiting you at home, then there's a lot of the basics that can be checked elsewhere, in a public place - even without electricity - such as in the back of a car in a car park!!

Seriously this.

We arnt trying to mug you for you kit we just dont want to see it all go boom
 
Well I have the jumper that came with the pump , just turning the pump on).

The atx power extender that came wit the pump to jump it has a cable hanging out making it impossible to connect?? (first time)

That ATX thing with a cable in it - you plug that into your PSU instead of plugging the PSU into the motherboard.

That cable tells the PSU to "switch on" so the pump can have power, so you can test and check everything is working, without putting power into all the expensive bits and bobs inside the case.

The only other thing plugged into your PSU at this point is your pump (normally on a Molex connector).
 
Connected the extender to the main atx cable AND pugged other end into the psu NOW the pump is on but no water/little flowing??

Still not sure whats causing this?

Do you have a piccy of the extender?
The one I use looks like this

Its basically connecting the green pin to one of the ground (black) pins, making the PSU think the power button has been pressed on the motherboard.
 
Yh I already jumped it. Its a lot better now to test, BUT I still have tha same problem, not sure what is the resolution?

Does anyone else have the aquastream advanced pump?
