Custom Loop Failure!
So after having the system cleaned and changed out 9 months ago with new tubing and coolant including gpu and cpu block pulled part and cleaned. Yesterday when i turned my pc on i noticed my pump was sounding odd and as i noticed this the entire res went white.
I thought micro bubbles but it settled down so turned my pc off. Went ahead to clean the system and the gpu, cpu and rads were blocked and one tube length was completely cloudly. I suspect plasticiser.
After a full clean i went ahead and used my new zmt tubing (was planning to use it soon anyway) and filled my res up and same issue again. After yet another teardown i would seem my rads are both clogged just from boot. Tried to clean the rads but couldn't get the clogged out for some reason.
No worries new rads it is. Corsair XR5 240mm and 360mm was my choice. Cheaper than most and my previous ek se classics are pretty poor rads. Would have put pics up but in my panic to clean my system and get it up and running i forgot them.
The tube from my gpu to my 240 rad was almost opaque and was thick with plasticiser. Never seen it this bad from a single tube no more than 9 months old. Pics with teardown and reassembly coming tomorrow
So silly me forgot to take photos of the assembly yet again . However the new rads are working a treat, helped by re-paste of thermal paste on gpu and cpu using less efficient coolermaster ic essential e1 over arctic mx-4. Using port royal and cinebench r23 at the same time for the 30 minutes as i always do for heat soaking. I got very impressive results over my last setup.
Old Setup:
Ambient: 20.5c
CPU: 71c
GPU: 51.8c Hotspot: 69.4c
Water Temp: 32.5c
New Setup:
Ambient: 20.5c

But, the choice not to use an ASUS Mobo is a choice I do not get!
I've used most of the Big Name Boards...ECS, MSI, Gigabyte, AsRock, BIOStar, SuperMicro and ASUS...
And have found ASUS to be the most reliable and stable!
In all the years of my computer hobby! I've only had 1 ASUS board fail and it was one I bought used and I abused it back in the F@H days!
This is just my opinion and we all know an opinion is compared to!

Re: Custom Loop Failure!
Only one I will never use is AssRock because they are a-holes and screwed me out of a good motherboard because they told everyone who had the exact same problem that they did i and it was not from the factory.camaroguy1998 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 12:19 amOk, I get the Intel/AMD choice(s)DJ Tucker wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 5:43 amNot amd or asus. you wont get me on that traincamaroguy1998 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 3:50 am Looks Great!

Re: Custom Loop Failure!
This is why I never use colored fluids, only clean, sterile water. My system was running the 1700x and the GPU with WC blocks for 6 years before I changed the CPU and GPU and changed the water. I also took apart the WC blocks to clean them, but they were clean as new. No gunk, no algae, no nothing in the system. All you have to do is make sure the water is sterile and because the loop is closed, no bacteria or algae can get in.
Main rig: NZXT Phantom modded case with Danger Den WC, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite, Ryzen 5800X @ stock, 32GB Patriot Viper DDR4 3200Mhz 16-18-18-36-1T, AMD RX 5700XT + AlphaCool WC, ACER Nitro XV2 27", SP 1TB nvme PCiE GEN3, Samsung 2TB; Cooler Master MW Gold 650W, Win10 Pro 64

Re: Custom Loop Failure!
I used to use red coolant years ago but only do clear premix now. That's awesome to have a system under water run clean after so long.
