[crazyeyesreaper]

good news my buddy came through its the same bracket as shown on swift techs site all seems to be going well. lets hope the good luck holds

[crazyeyesreaper]

*cringes* maybe you just have a air bubble in it. Turn it on and off and kinda tap on it. Thats what i have had to do with some weaker pumps. Also make sure there is no kinks

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

theres no kinks its outside the case for a test run so i made sure of that might be an air bubble ill try it but even if it pushes water its a tiny tiny tiny amount as in if i turn the tank i get a trickle thats worthless

well that was worthless still nothing the stream is tiny slightly more then a drip from a faucet

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I wish you luck. tt pumps are known to not be the best.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well in that case id say i wasted 9hrs + that i could have been gaming oh well im done spending i wont buy a pump to make this work $150 in just fitting tubing and fans i think ill stick to Air it just frigging works lol

after dumping that much into it i would spend alittle more and get a pump.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well i dont have that kind of money left im drawing the line not worth spending another $50-100 on.

as that would bring me to the 200-250 range and at that price id be better off with a SSD or something of that nature. Eitherway im tired im pissed off and 9/10 ill still buy a frigging pump after i scalp my Shinedown tickets.

not a bad pump and it's cheaper then most... just incase you change your mind.But why not just call it a night and work on the pump tomorrow.
also if your fine with a ac pump
~$25 shipped

if i buy a pump id probably grab this

even so tho its a tough pill to swallow.

same as the OCZ pump i listed above. But the OCZ is much cheaper.
here is something you may not have known. The OCZ Hydro pulse are Dangerden's.

EDIT:here is the same pump as you linked me to but in the OCZ name

same place as you linked and same pump as i linked

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

hmm $9 difference i can swallow $40 but still fuck $190 if i had to buy a new res block and rad id never even think of water cooling lol dont know how anyone does this regularly my hats off to those that do.

yea tried bleeding the loop dry and refilling nothing new to report pump just isnt doing its job.

kinda dissapointing the pump cant push water through a 120mm single rad and cpu block only

 

[p_o_s_pc]

hmm $16 difference i can swallow $40 but still fuck $190 if i had to buy a new res block and rad id never even think of water cooling lol dont know how anyone does this regularly my hats off to those that do.

i have switched everything but my res and CPU block in my loop.Water cooling gets costly.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

exactly which is why ill never go water cooling again after this at the cost of a water cooling setup i could be using a 1090T or a 1055T i could be on a 890fx board or have a raid setup hell could have sold a 5850 dropped a few extra bucks and gone Trifire or sell both 5850s get a 5970 and then grab a physx card just for shits and grins.. when you look at it that way this seems like a giant cluster****.

that and im probably just frigging unlucky

 

[brandonwh64]

Bleeding a pump can be a pain but if the pump is working right then it should pump the water through the loop while the return to the res is unhooked.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

even with the return removed the pump pushes next to no water its a trickle im guessing the pump just isnt up to the job i think 14hrs of dicking around is more then long enough

 

[MT Alex]

i think 14hrs of dicking around is more then long enough

I guess that depends on who she is.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

here are some ways that people got a Thermaltake pump that was doing about what your pump is doing to work
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/180950-29-thermaltake-liquid-cooling-problem

seems that the pumps are just a pain in the ass.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well sad to say once i talk to CP and Full i plan to sell all my water cooling stuff and or ship it back to them and cut my losses


well apparently the tt pump just dosent have any balls

i pulled the rad out of the loop it pumps just fine soon as you put the rad in it dosent do squat

 

[erocker]

I may have a 355 for sale cheap soon. I'm just dissassembling it and making sure all is good with it. You can see it in action here.. and it's good for a laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoSGb1_uido

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

send me a PM erocker if you do as at this point im ready to throw in the towel ive got about 18 hrs into trouble shooting this loop the pump works it just dosent have balls to push with any rad at all im using a SINGLE 120mm rad and it cant push the water unhook the rad and presto it pumps
