same, i'd worry more about a leak than a little particulate in your water. Are you just using distilled with ptnuke?

yeah distilled. haven't gotten ahold of PT nuke yet.

I need the PHN one and not the copper one i believe and the only place that has at the moment is performance-pcs.com which is in the states which will cost me 20$ to get it here just for a little 2$ bottle cause i'm in canada

And we're at another halt

And we're at another halt.

The stupid barbs that i got from EK are the cause of the leaks.

I only have 3 of them and they leak in each spot.

This picture will show you why.




So you can clearly see that there is just to much thread on the EK barbs.
SO PEOPLE BEWARE!!

I'm going to order some BP ones and wait to get this all rolling again.

Stay tuned

I've had some issues with BP 45's. I bought two and they both leaked. But the fatbody barbs by themselves are great.

yeah i was a little concerned about those at first because a few of the ones i had were a little more loose then others.
I'm talking about the swivel part. but it is holding up so i guess shes ok. i got to do a lot more leak testing when my new BP barbs come in.

ill know by then. next week i should have a good update on here ... i hope.

noisy loop :(

barbs finally came in today. got the loop running and tested . no leeks. the gpu is really load though.
water loud.

the cpu loop i did a really good job at getting all the air bubbles out and when it runs, well i have to look at the flow meter cause its silent.

as for the gpu loop, i'm not sure if its the location of the res and pump or just type of res i have but i can get those noisy bubbles out.

ill post another pic of the loop so you have an idea where everything sits and maybe someone with some good ideas....has some ideas...?

thanks!
