Hello,
I’ve migrated my cooling system from ATX to mITX. I’ve shortened the tubing and plan to mount my cooling setup up sideways. Everything had worked perfectly in the ATX loop.
I have the 220 Acrylic tube reservoir with pump mount and included a D5 pump. (Reservoir is the one that comes with Darkside plugs and top port for optional 5mm LED.) The reservoir pump mount has two ports (bottom) and the return has a tube extension to reduce vortex.
So far I cannot seem to get the water to flow through the system. I’ve tipped, shaken (aggressively), and tapped the pump to remove air. I tested by tipping and can see the liquid travel through all tubes, so there is no blockage.
Testing done with:
- tube standing up.
- D5 set through #1-3-5
- I see the liquid churning when pump is on.
Any other ideas? Are both the pump mount ports outlets? Or do I have it wrong and only one is an outlet?
Thanks!
