damn dude, I've been through that before. As a matter of fact that's how my H50 looks right now. Going to clean it out tomorrow.

HammerON · Feb 21, 2010

Yeah I spent about 5 hours cleaning every little part (including 9 120mm fans and the big fan up top even though it wasn't too dusty). Way out of control

The last time I did it I did it with an air compressor, took about 10 minutes

Nothing will survive it :laugh:

hmmm air compressor will take almost all the dust off?
will it take some of the nasty caked on dust off too?

Yeah, it's powerful man. Nothing is left.

The shitty thing is that I was all excited to try out the Koolance CPU-360. So I took off the Apogee GTZ SE (and stripped one of the threads again) and put the Koolance 360 on. Got it all back together and fired her up and...
Something is incredibly wrong:

At stock w/out running WCG

At stock trying to run WCG

Temps were headed towards 100 before I shut WCG down.

WTF

aCid888* · Feb 21, 2010

I cant understand how a rad can get that way so fast.....I haven't cleaned mine in 7~ months and I have barely any dust buildup and thats without any filters.

A full loop clean/component clean is on the cards for me too soon.

Either way, that Koolance block looks the shit. :rockout:

The stripped thread was on the apogee block right?

You sure you have the block mounted correctly? Maybe you forgot a little something somewhere. Bubble in the loops? Shake the s**t out of the rad and see. TIM applied correctly?

Yeah the stripped thread is on the base plate for the Apogee (god that system sucks balls). It would be very difficult to strip the Koolance ones as they are heavy duty

Yep block is mounted nicely with the "in" and "out" hooked-up correctly. No bubbles and she is moving the water through nicely. Used Arctic Silver 5 as always.
Tried tightening the block as well as backing off a bit ~ no change.
I am now taking her back apart and starting over again. I will see how the TIM looks on the block after being in contact with the cpu (curious).

I am also going to rotate the block to see if that helps. I am using BP 1/2" barbs on the wb, don't think that has anything to do with it but it might. You wouldn't think that high water flow would be a bad thing...

naw, I think you just might have forgot something on the install. Maybe backplate is not mounted correctly causing block to tighten down more on one side or something.

zithe · Feb 21, 2010

HammerOn, you can tuck that 8-Pin CPU cable under the mobo between mounts and pop it out the other side. There's enough space, though you'll have to remove the board.

I hope so. I just ordered my CPU-360 last night. lol. I eas tossing up between the HK and the 360. Picked the 360 because of it's more universal nature. Hope it performs close.

Tons of people have gotten great results. Unless his is defective or he mounted it wrong, I don't see how it can perform that bad.

Danm cable is too short for even that to work (tried). Thanks though

Okay disassembled and backplate looked good. There is a bar on the back for the NB but I don't think it is interfering with anything:

I noticed that the WB had crappy contact with the CPU:

I cleaned the wb and rotated and then I noticed this:

And that was the part of the wb that wasn't touching the CPU!!!

So I am thinking of putting the Noctua NH-D14 on this board and trying the wb on my EVGA X58 mb. Man this sucks though! I am going to send pics to Koolance as their site states (visual only):

That's a very good observation. So it says it's compatible with your board, yet it ain't. :shadedshu @ Koolance.

That's just crazy nice! Your pics are much better than the product pics BTW.

More pics I found on my photo bucket

( by the way, anyone got the nut that is infront of the cooler spare? I'm missing one)

Over exposed but my old 3870/3850 crossfire set up

Another picture of the CPU cooler I bought the other week
