First Green Water Cooled Build

[DodFoddler]

Haha I didn't think anyone in Cape Breton even had a computer ... I go up your way a few times a year for hunting/fishing trips (more or less just sitting around drinking but it needs a name)

[Bartacus]

Drinking and guns always go together! Is there a better way to cut down trees? C.B. has always had it rough economically, hence we are all raised by our parents to MOVE AWAY. Every kid my age had that pounded into them: grow up, get educated, and get out of that econo-dump to find a decent job. I used to have a small business selling PCs down there, but it only lasted 1 year. Just not enough consistent business. That's why I'm in Ottawa now. Miss the people down there though (so stuck up here in comparison).

[DodFoddler]

Haha yeah the people in Cape Breton are awesome, they'll help you out any time you need it. I think I've cut down more than a few trees with more than a few different guns too lol never gets old

Saweet vid Dod....loved when the green started to swirl! Great job.

[DodFoddler]

thanks guys, I really want to get another pump and a GPU block when I have $250 to spend haha ... I have the rest of the parts to make a separate loop for the GPU.

[DodFoddler]

So the Mayhems Aurora started to gunk up my loop and I decided to take it out. Needless to say it wasn't willing to come out easily and even after a long, long time washing all the parts there's still some silvery stuff in there.

I'll post some pictures of it when I get it all leak tested, decided that clear tubing with no dye would look neat for now.

[bungwirez]

thats a bummer Dods. how many days do you think it lasted? couple of weeks maybe?

[DodFoddler]

Oh it lasted a good 2 weeks and had a lot more in it but I just was always worried when I went away for a few days that something would happen.

The worrying is what really led me to empty it out, I saved all the liquid in a pop bottle just in case I wanted to reuse it sometime.

[DodFoddler]

Alright, new picture time ... sorry about the massive pictures, I'm not sure how to scale them down.





Yes I did leave the face plate off the CPU block because I thought it looked neat with the rest of the clear stuff.

Sorry to hear that you as well had problems with this so-called coolant; I had Blue Aurora coolant in my PC as well, and it last perhaps a week at best http://www.dazmode.com/_forum/showthread.php?88-Mayhems-Aurora-Coolant-fiasco-%28from-start-to-finish%29

I put the coolant into an old coffee container(sealed it up) and put it into the freezer until such time I can find someplace that will recycle this crap.
I discovered that in order to clean out my system (tried just flushing with distilled water -4x - that didn't work ) I had to tear apart every bit of my loop, including the pump...that metallic crap stuck to everything.

Needless to say; the only coolant I use now is either distilled water + DazMode Protector, or (currently) Feser coolant...though I've heard great things about Ice Dragon Coolant

[DodFoddler]

Yeah I just said #%$* it and let a bit of the metallic stuff stay in the loop because even after tearing it all apart there was still some. Just enough that you can see a tiny swirl ...
