System Leak

[gdesmo]

I think the rig Gdesmo is working on is gonna need 16 gallons

No, No, No ! Only about 11 gallons ! Use my own glycol heating system mixture. Guys Just use distilled or de-ionized water and the Daz-Protect and you are good to go, simple is better unless you have a special application !

LOL, what can I say, I bought a total of 6 bottles of dragon ice. I had an ounce or two left in the fifth bottle before I noticed the reservoir was down. I now have a third of a bottle left. I'll admit one bottle was down an ounce or three when I bought it ..... but Daz gave me such a deal on it I couldn't refuse to take it off his hands .... and it was still sealed. I may have lost a half liter the first time I emptied it to install more rads and another pump. Maybe another ounce or two around connectors where the clamps weren't tight enough. With the little bit of residue in the case (about two toonies worth) I can't believe it's two thirds of a liter either .... liquid evaporated and left the solids.

Between 13 feet of 1/2in inside diameter hose, three rads, two pumps and a reservoir I have no idea where it all is, but at a reserved guess it can't be less than four and a half liters still in the system, and I know by the time I remove the liquid, replace the reservoir and refill, that third of a liter won't be enough to fill the system again. I mean what, does this stuff do, just evaporate when in contact with the air?

It's the same as I can't believe this system is only as effective as the nzxt 60 with a twin 140mm rad. The rad coolant temperature is 30 C and the cpu is 68 C. It's possible distilled water and Dazmode protector will do better, lol

Not much I can say about this being such a noob. Now where can I get some tec pads, lmao.

Tec's ! Now you are going to really complicate things ! BTW do not pitch that Nano-fluid, you should be able to sell it here. Hell , I always have something on the go and may use some in a smaller build !

+1 ... color tube over color fluid for me...

Are those 140mm Yates noisy enough to bother you at full tilt?

LOL, not to me .... I can't hear them, the case is somewhat sound proofed and after having delta TFB1212GHE fans @ 65 dBA's on the desktop for a couple years I'm either deaf or learned how to tune them out. There are other fans in the case which are noisier and that includes the furnace blower. The SILVERSTONE FHP-141 push more air and are only 43.5 dBA .... just be advised, they are 120mm screw mounts, not 140mm, so some modding is required to fit 140mm mounting holes.

BTW do not pitch that Nano-fluid, you should be able to sell it.

Naw, I couldn't do that, as a purchaser/seller, I'd be afraid of contamination .... besides the cost of shipping makes it prohibitive.

Big question now, is how to clean the system before adding Dazmode protector + distilled water? I'm thinking that running a few gallons of distilled water through the system until it runs clear would be adequate.

Suggestions appreciated,

Thanks seems you've had your fair share of high speed fans hehe. Going to try re-arrange my fan setup on those xtx's rad, maybe wrap them up with san ace's. I'm going to head out to the source this week and see if I can find some 10w resistors to slow those fans down to 9v That should eliminate the need of more fan controllers.
