This is one of the things that scares me away from watercooling

I usually leave the loop running overnight for leak testing! Just the loop not the whole PC on(using a spare PSU & jump start using a paper clip)

So are you saying your pump was off while the whole PC was ON? For how long?

not longer then 15 sec.
I touched waterblock straight away and wasnt too hot
I felt hotter cpu/gpu coolers

What do you mean "found faulty cable"?

bastic · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:09

i needed to connect a spare cable for the pump as it is molex and I use sata power cables...it turned out it had to be faulty as no power went to pump.

bastic · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:11

there is a option that is in not gpu fault...can be cpu ?

bastic · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:12

I think I will take water block off and see whats beneath it...

Hyburnate · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:13

Just remember stay calm

Avathar77 · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:15

Make sure you have connected all the power cables properly first. 24 pin ATX, 8Pin ATX, 2x 6pin PCI-E power, HDD power and Data, and finally RAM!

I have all hdd's disconneted at the moment...will un plug everything one more time...

bastic · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:34

would I feel that cpu or gpu are warming up by touching waterblock ?

Avathar77 · 28 Sep 2011 at 16:37

I didn't, even when running benchmarks.
Top of the water block is a bit far away from the actual heat transfer plates.

PSU doesnt want to switch on lol

bastic · 28 Sep 2011 at 17:42

Hyburnate · 28 Sep 2011 at 21:26

shamzzz · 28 Sep 2011 at 21:42
