Hi All,

Had a very small leak in part of my custom loop yesterday, after taking it all apart and finding what i think was the culprit, I've now put it all back together.

I've filled the Bay Reservoir/Pump combo, powered just the loop and for the life of me I cannot work out why the water isn't being pumped around the system! Like it was before.

To explain what I have:

360 Rad in the roof of the case.
Dual Pump / Reservoir in the Bay.
7970 / WaterBlock
CPU WaterBlock.

Going from the Res/Pump >> Graphics >> CPU > Rad.

What I've managed to get myself confused with, is the Inlet/Outlet of the pump/res.

The inlet is listed as being at the bottom. Outlet at the top.

Currently Outlet is going to Graphics Card - Is that the correct way?

Thanks - Driving me crazy, I'm sure this is how it was before!!!
 
It doesn't matter what components are after the pump.

The only thing that matters is that the res is before the pump so it has a constant supply of water.
 
So with it being a combo, it should make zero difference. Very odd - maybe I'm just blind and the water is actually going around and I can't tell!
 
if your still worried take a pic of the tubing fitted and we can always have a look :)

if you paint some arrows on with the way your flow goes then we can always double check :)

But as stated outlet to GPU and your sorted :)
 
looks fine to me. just check both pumps are attached to motherboard/ powerheaders correctly. Check temps and you will be fine mate :)

give the tubing a small pinch to see if any bubbles are shifting. Can you feel movement on the tubes?
 
Yeah I'm like 99% sure this is how I had it before I took it all out.
In filling it back with water, I've now found another problem though!
There seems to be a very small amount of water coming through one of the holes, where the fans are attached to the radiator. No idea how this has just "happened". I'll have to empty it all out, and stick anther rad in...

So tedious not having a PC!

Thanks for taking a look!
