I though of flow, and removed some coolant from the resv this morning. It appears both pumps are working as flow pattern is the same as it was on startup when there were no temp problems. Having said that, I do think a better resv is in order anyway.

Tu Fu, you're out of your fucking mind if you think I'm going to convert all this to air just to troubleshoot :laughing:

Don't have another 1366 chip to test but I do have another wc X58 motherboard I could swap it. Going to have to come apart for sure :ohshit:

......
send me the 980x i'll test it for ya :D

oh yeah, why didn't I think of that :P

All better :thumbsup: It was a fucking embolism moving through the loop. This Koolance resv is cool looking with two pumps and all, but a bitch to bleed, shit, it's been in there hiding for weeks :shock:

Next time I have time going to pull this Koolance resv out and put in something a little more practical

DD dual bay res FTW .........

I have these Ek's in my build, in hterory they should bleed easily ... I hope

So all this shit over a bubble ........... :laughing:

actually, a very big bubble I think :ohcrap: The Koolance doesn't bleed off like the old Danger Den dual bays did. Koolance told me some people took days to get their loops clear :thumbdown: Danger Den took what, maybe ten minutes :laughing:

still have mine FTW :thumbsup:

^^^^^

Damn, I'm gonna start selling crystal balls :P

if temps were not that high why would you be getting a black screen? GPU should be able to hit 90c+ and be okay.

I don't think I was losing flow. When I took some fluid out of the res to make the flow more visible it was torrential as usual. Only lost flow was around the bubble, at least that's my theory :D . If you read my lengthy first post, the problem seemed to be moving.. CPU, chipset, GPU ... Wherever the bubble sat cooling didn't happen.

I had literally turned this thing upside down and sideways while bleeding cause of the big rad on the top. Don't know what broke the bubble loose finally but I had the loop pumping on external power at every angle imaginable yesterday :P
