[Project] Resurrection: Erazer's Dominator

Mesh looks good. Sucks that the rad is like that.

Hey bud! first time I saw the pics on this thread and all I can say is that the color combination of black and blue on the outside was very nice! Sad thing that you went on a backlog with regards to that radiator problem you had! If it's a leaky one then it's RMA time for you then! But I quite confident that you'd be done in no time at all for it's only a minor thing! Keep up the good work Bud!

one sugesstion, if you want to seal the rad again: make it rough, with sandpaper, and then use Epoxy resin, preferabily with glasfiber. that helped me pretty good, with sealing rads.

nice paint jobs! shame about the rad hope you can get that sorted out

Use some JB-Weld on that radiator. Sand the pipe down good, and then using a toothpick or q-tip apply the mixed JB-weld. I've used the stuff to rebuild cracked intake manifolds on a Jeep 6-cyl and to close up leaks in gas tanks before. It's a miracle worker and will outlast the life of the rad.

looks good
Just a FYI:you CAN paint the PCB aslong as you cover all of the mosfets,ram,GPU,etc

if i try to repair it should i take out the screw tip?

 

[sNiPeRbOb]

the tip of the screw is still in the pipe? Just trying to clerify. Also most Rad manufacturers will not RMA a rad that has been punctured like this, there was probably even a note on the box the radiator came in stating to be wary of the length of screws you use as it may puncture the pipes if your not careful. If the tip of the screw is broken off in the tube I would attempt to remove it, then sand it down and JB-weld it up. Let it cure for AT LEAST 24 hours before using the radiator again. Be sure to smooth the JB-weld down as once it cures you will have to use a dremel or file to remove material.

Also you may want to consider test mounting your fans onto your radiator like this:

Radiator: | [| ] < Fans
|__[| ]

This way you can see how far down the screw goes into the radiator and avoid puncturing the pipes/cut the screws if necessary.

Hope this helps!

I have painted every part of a computer (mobo,video card,ram,HDD,PSU) and everything was fine.All you have to do it tape off everything like mosfets and pins air holes..that kinda stuff

[Velvet Wafer]

wat type of paint did u use?

krylon paint for plastic, from what i recognize, he once told us

 

[ERazer]

well after cleaning it, look like its better to leave the screw tip alone

Just got to your thread! Pretty nice build man I'll keep checking it out!

Yes the way it is is just a tiny bit and it's blocking most of leak so you are all set man, just a blob of J-B Weld and let it dry.

Again impressive painting skills mate and very nice build

 

[Radical_Edward]

Plus is should help prevent another screw from going into the same spot, so you'd only have to repair your JB weld.
