Is this loop correctly structured for your use case?
Is this loop correctly structured for your use case?
My Build:
TT Tower 900
i9 7900X
1080ti
64g Dominator RAM @3000 mhz
EK Xres 140 D5 pump combo
EK EVO Sup Nickel
EK 280 Rad
My loop setup is Pump/Res combo up to CPU block, then back to Pump/Res.
I'm having issues filling the loop and wondering if the order is incorrect. Thanks!
What is occurring precisely? Would posting a video assist in clarifying it?
I filled the reservoir with coolant but it only pushes it about halfway to the CPU block, which means the pump isn't emptying the tank properly so I can add more. It feels weak. I've seen that these PWM pumps (EK d5s) don't reach 100% when connected only to Molex power, but around 40%. Of course others say that's not true...I'm trying to rule out Loop Order as the issue.
You don't seem to require any bleeding. Would releasing the air help prevent pressure buildup? This is based on my understanding of water and pumps, not direct experience with these tasks.
is your lid closed on your order? are you using the jumper for your PSU instead of connecting it to the MOBO? you mentioned you bought the EK kit there should have been a special cable included that matches the one in the kit, it was a test cable i used and it forced my pump to run at 100%.
Yes bleeding it is what I am attempting but without full power to the pump it isn't possible.
I did have the lid off of the res while attempting to fill,I had placed it back on just for safety.
No Im sorry if I mis-spoke,I didnt buy a kit ,only separate EK parts.I do however have the jumper for the 24 pin PSU cable if that is what youre referring to and I use that to power the pump.(or try to power it..)
The 4 pin PWM fan header isnt plugged because there is no power to the board.However I did try attaching it to a PWM fan header on my other pc thinking that might help but with no results.
Thanks for all the replies,and the continued assistance!
Use the 24-pin jumper and insert the header in. Power on the computer; the jumper will supply power to all components except the CPU.
Use the 24-pin jumper and insert the header in. Power on the computer; the jumper will activate most components except the CPU. However, if the jumper cap is connected to the 24-pin cable, you won't be able to plug it in.
