What you do is add a neck to the fill port, with a funnel. The same way a radiator fill on a older vehicles work. As air escapes, the air bubbles out taking some water with it, but due to the shape of a funnel at the top, the water wouldn't splash out and be recovered as it drains back into the fill hole.

The only benefit of watercooling is having bigger radiators (more than 360mm) and more clearance on the mobo, otherwise the risks of leaks and defect products are not worth it. If you want performances, low prices and low noise levels, go to noctua. Pumps and watercooling fans are louder, and overall more expensive.

a suggestion from a mechanic... instead of just filling the rad when we work on cars, we use a fill cup or some call it burping the radiator. so you use a funnel that fits tightly in the fill spout and over fill the funnel, when air comes out its automatically replaced with more water and it wont make such a huge mess like that.

For empty rads (or a crappy design), I thought it was common knowledge to just attach a tube to the fill port and lightly blow through it to get the water moving. It also lets you put in a few inches, or even feet, of water at a time and it can't burp on you. I've actually used a 6-12" tube with a fill cap plug on it on my last 2 builds and it tucks nicely behind front panel on many cases(above front mount fans or rad).

I have a tip for filling hard to fill things like that radiator, a ptreol hand pump for a outboard motor works great to push liquid through with the system off!

@SaltRockStacker Жыл бұрын

If you are going with an external radiator like that, you might as well just janky-rig an aquarium chiller. I have not tried it myself, but I would imagine you might have some condensation problems in the PC if the temperature in the chiller is set too low. EDIT: It looks like you guys already did one :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frOkqaiTqZixgaM.html

A few years ago i watercooled a 2700x and 5700xt entirely with Bykski products, water blocks and all, just to test the parts and see whether or not they were any good. It was ridiculously cheap to do so i said eh why not. It ended up working great, none of the fittings ever leaked over my 2 year use of the machine, no oxidation from bad metal alloys or anything. Overall great experience and i think i watercooled the entire system for something like 250 bucks, ended up overclocking that gpu within top 2% of the world or something like that

Pro tip: use a Mityvac MV6400 automotive pressure bleeder with the MV588 transmission adapter for complex loops. It threads into G1/4 and you can power bleed any loop no matter how complex. Put 2 valves at the end of the loop to block flow and open a drain and you can perform coolant changes in record time WITHOUT losing prime. Bonus is its 1 gallon so you can mix your distilled water and coolant concentrate right inside it. I have 4 radiators and 2 pumps in a o11 XL and needed a solution for maintenance, and this is what I found works best!

Even the little funnels you can get with a G1/4 fitting on them would've improved this, lol

@Kowalskithegreat Жыл бұрын

Or just buy a Aquacomputer Leakshield, I fill my system thru the EK drain fitting on my GPU block with it's internal vacuum pump and use the auto deaeration cycle a couple times afterwards, shit's cash. vac pump sensors valves and a display all built into the reservoir cap, and the matching D5 NeXt pump has it's own water temp sensor, pump controller, display and fan controller so you just flash the desired fan curves into it once thru software and it does it's own thing with fan/pump speeds. Can even display system info like cpu temps etc on either display. caveat- pump only has 1 fan output so you can only daisy-chain 3-4 or just get a splitty9 to control more like i did

I’ve used closed loop cooling systems before (not pc cooling related but in semiconductor community.) there is a witchcraft voodoo type ritual to get a closed loop system work like this. You get air pockets all over in the lines and need a separate filler reservoir placed higher than your pumping loop to draw fluid from and pull the liquid from the bottle. Adding a drain line at the lower position to start the priming would help also. But yeah not an easy process to get going but once it’s full and going simple maintenance will keep you going for quite awhile. 😊

Even have 9 fans like LTTs too, but mine are Arctic fans on a Noctua controller all connected to my mobo so I can monitor and control the fans I got excited when I saw this product originally announced but dang, what a horrible implementation. Just spec out your own MO-RA, use EK soft tubes and it'll be way better than that thing.

It's water hammer! It's squirting when you turn it off because all the momentum in THAT MUCH TUBING suddenly hits the resistance of a stopped pump. Go watch Practical Engineering's video on water hammer. Also, a vertical tube (with a fitting) on the fill port gives space for water and bubbles to settle in. Stick a funnel in there for even more wiggle room. Easy mode. What are you guys doing?
