Large spaces between components and elevated temperatures after six months
Large spaces between components and elevated temperatures after six months
Hi guys. Need your help.
Haven't found a solution after searching a lot
I have a custom water cooled pc with the following specs
Intel 6850k hexacore processor
2x Titan XP SLI GPUs
64 GB Corsair RAM
MSI godlike gaming carbon MB
Ax1200i PSU
EKWB custom loop with one 3 fan RAD and one so glad fan RAD.
BOTH CPU and GPU are water cooled
So far system was running fine. Yesterday I saw the tube coming out of the bigger radiator filled with air.
There is a huge air gap and the temps are now too high. CPU is 90C on prime95 and GPU reached 75C. Earlier the temps were 15C lesser on both.
System is stable though.
I had Thermal take pastel coolant earlier which I flushed today and am running tap water to clean the system. Temps have not changed with replacement of the coolant with water.
The worry point is the flow from the radiator out tube. It's like dripping and not filled completely. I made a video which is linked here

Please help.

Open the fill port on your reservoir and fill it to about 75% capacity, keeping it uncapped or vented. This allows the pump to keep moving water through the loop and disperse it from the reservoir effectively. It’s important not to seal it. Also, avoid using tap water because its mineral content can build up inside the system. Using distilled or vapor-collected water would be ideal.
