Hi guys.

Looking at getting back to watercooling my rig in my sig how do these parts look? Main worry is the disconnects are they the right ones? the rest i think looks ok. Opinions wanted!

Dont use the V4 pump, mine gave up after 4 months with pretty much the same setup

BriT · 27 Mar 2015 at 19:27

Ah ok not good, this one looks good : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-140-XS&groupid=962&catid=2133&subcat=1845

The D5 is a good pump

Anyone? Also do you still have to clean the rad out or can i just use it straight away?

Always a good idea to flush the radiators out before installing them.

Just a bit of white vinegar, tesco 44p and warm water, fill rad up leave for a few hours then rinse with tap water, then final rinse with di water, ive just done mine and it cleaned it up really well.

Ok thanks!

What do i need to setup a drain port?

jacob1995knight · 3 Apr 2015 at 13:13

Well, from the above image, i would recommend going from the bottom of the gpu with a bitspower ball valve on a 90' fitting so you can turn it around when you want to drain the system.

I used the XSPC tubing for testing a system only, it looked a bit dull to me.. If you can afford the extra 5 quid, I would deff go with the Primochill Advanced tube

BriT · 4 Apr 2015 at 15:20

Thanks will go for that tubing

BriT · 26 Apr 2015 at 18:44

Finally got my watercolong stuff. Im all set up and am trying to fill the loop but the pump doesn't seem to be pumping anything. Ive fillef the res as high as it can go but nothing is happening? Its an xspc ddc 12v res combo.

DavidS14 · 27 Apr 2015 at 02:24

You'll probably need to tilt the case to various positions in order to get the fluid moving and stop any air locks, just keep an eye on the pump inlet and make sure it's always got fluid.

BriT · 27 Apr 2015 at 13:22

Remove dthe pump in the end put it back in and works, all done now, GPU has dropped 10c and cpu 4c pretty happy. Pump is quite loud though?

MrMD · 27 Apr 2015 at 19:34

Which pump/res combo did you end up going for?

BriT · 27 Apr 2015 at 21:08

Went for the xspc ex360 kit with the one bay ddc 12v i believe. May swap it out for the d5 res combo.

BriT · 29 Apr 2015 at 19:17

Seem to have a leak coming from the pump/res combo when i tilt the case on its side only a trickle and is fine when upright. I am guessing i didn't attanch the pump back correctly in the res, can i take it out with liquid in or do i have to drain the loop?
