Re: [Build] Shockblade Graphite #55
Oh guys , I'm probably the most unlucky man on this planet:


I use another pc to power on only the pump ( I actually find it more confortable than shorting the pins of the power supply ) I was testing the loop , it was was running since an hour or so and there were no visible air bubbles so I decided to restart the pc which the pump is connected to ( in order to check if eventually some bubbles would come out) but while the pc started as it should, the pump didn't power on again...

It obviously never ran dry and never had a problem, only some time ago it didn't start , that day I thought that the pins were detached so I just pressed a bit on the pins and restard the pc and the pump restarted too and i thought it was nothing... but probably the problem weren't the pins and now I think it was " a warning"

P.S I'm obviously gonna buy a new one...

Re: [Build] Shockblade Graphite #56
So you think the pump is dead?

That would really suck Is it hard to get rid of the water, when you're using pipes?

Re: [Build] Shockblade Graphite #57
Well , not too much , I just opened one of the fillports on the bottom of the reservoir and put a basin under it and I waited for the coolant to flow out , I also covered everything else with towels.

But yes, surely it is harder than to empty a loop in which are used normal tubes.

However I ordered the dcp 4.0 with 1 day shipment , I hope I get it this week.

Re: [Build] Shockblade Graphite #58
True, when you use a fill port, that really helps! Didn't think about that

Re: [Build] Shockblade Graphite #59
Really nice looking Rig there Talos! Looking forward to more updates
I wish I had the time/money to do a case mod, or watercooling project
I just love looking at these worklog threads, but they keep making me jealous

Keep up the good work.

Re: [Build] Shockblade Graphite #60
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.
At the moment I'm stuck because I'm waiting for the pump , but when I'll get the dcp 4.0 I'll obviously update this 3d with new pics and thoughts about the acrylic tubes and obviously about the pump because I'm really curious about it, people opinions about the noise produced by this pump are different( some people say that they can't hear it , some others say that it's really noisy... coming from the dcp 2.0 I expect the 4.0 to be a bit noisy ).

OT:
However I can't sit and do nothing while I see my pc right here next to me , opened and waiting to be completed... :S so I'm actually flashing googy max kernel for cm 10.2 on my s3 in order to undervolt the cpu but I'm still not sure what launcher I should use, what do you think about this homepack from buzz launcher I used on cm 10.1 ?
