Circulation problem

Boiling water with a bit of distilled vinegar if you don't have a Mayhems Blitz kit or something. Flush with distilled water afterwards.

Ok so boiled water in one valve the other closed, then shake?
I dont have distilled vingegar just ordinary)

Uncle Petey · 17 Oct 2014 at 15:38

Yeah. I don't think you should use normal vinegar

Someone else will have to confirm that.

You might want to leave the cap off the other port, or you'll have trouble filling it due to the air that will be trapped.

extrememachine · 17 Oct 2014 at 15:43

Will dismantle it now and add b.water and shake.

MOst likely the case?

skyripper · 17 Oct 2014 at 15:49

Dunno why not. The vinegar is just there to help dissolve any calcium/limescale.
As long as you flush properly (just like the bathroom), it's fine.

I used malt vinegar to do my rads. Might smell a bit though.

extrememachine · 17 Oct 2014 at 15:53

Ok will try.
In regards to the cpu block, could this cause a restriction to water flow?

Boiled washed the first 360 i will leave the other one as its quite new

So cleaned rad with boiled water and replumbed everything, the liquid filled up pretty fast but as usual once the loop was full it would not push/ flow the water.

sounds like a pump problem if its doing it again,
i had this issue a while back and ended up having to change my d5 as it was crappin out on me

extrememachine · 17 Oct 2014 at 16:53

Lol I have 2 auqua stream advanced pumps, both have the same effect.

I am running out on £ to spend as I have a limit.

Would this be a wise choice: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-142-XS&groupid=962&catid=2141

If so what fittings do I need). have 16/11mm tubing and compression fittings)

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not? Bravo.

Sincerely though, I think a guy a few pages back lived in London and was willing to help you? This doesn't seem to be your forte, I'd take him up on the offer...

extrememachine · 17 Oct 2014 at 17:51

Yes, I will take the gentlemans offer.
Just after I replace the pump.Dunno something tells me thats the resolution.
Going back to it what fittings do i need for that pump?

Uncle Petey · 17 Oct 2014 at 17:55

Grab a pump top like this or the plexi version: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-209-EK&groupid=962&catid=2141&subcat=2143 and use the same G1/4 fittings that you already have.

Did you not get a replacement pump?

On another note, while you should clean your rads anyway, I doubt that there'd be enough crap in there to have caused the problems you're having. Especially since you've changed one of the rads and still have the same issue.

I promised myself I wouldn't post again, as not sure if serious any more...

But... why not take up Uncle Petey's offer BEFORE spending even more money?

I guess gut instincts, but could be wrong.

BTW whats the cut off point for sat delivery?

nvm Will arrive mon.

Uncle Petey · 17 Oct 2014 at 18:06

Gut instincts about the pump or me being a thieving scumbag?

You're too late for Sat delivery unless you're really lucky.

I don't know why but I find this line hilarious.

extrememachine · 19 Oct 2014 at 18:18

Speaking of hilarious got a text and email saying my parcel would be delivered today (Sunday) This is the second time this has happened this week.

Uncle Petey · 19 Oct 2014 at 19:06

Seeing as you've avoided answering the question, I'm going to assume it's the latter.
Are you of the mindset that if someone offers to go out of their way to offer help, then it must be because they have an ulterior motive?

The offer is retracted either way, as I just can't be arsed any more. Getting a straight answer out of you is like pulling teeth. No offence mate
