Ugh, more leaks... I don't get it, I fix one, and another starts... Found the 2nd leak, letting things dry over night then going to go at it again tomorrow with a vice grip on the clamps and see if i can get it sealed up.
That sounds like a power issue. Total drying takes 24 hrs.
where are these leaks happening?
is it because the torque from the tubing is loosing the barbs?
well to be honest i dont think clamps would of been the problem.
You probably were leaking at the oring, from either too much compression or to little.
And no dont worry about the residue if any.
Use alcohol and wipe it clean if it bothers ya.
I think it was clamps on the 2nd leak. The first time I clamped things down I used a vice grip to get them on there snug, the 2nd time I didn't...
The 1st was caused by an O-ring I think.
So your prognosis? my hardware will survive once dry?
Quick question here, why do you insist on passive drying ?
That stuff is meant to handle 70+ temps, put it in the oven xD
this is why you do leak testing with the computer off and just the pumps running for 24hours at the minimum (simple jumper for the PSU) ... and put paper towels in many places to catch potential leaks
i hope this isn't an expensive lesson for you... and yeah, compression fittings ftw, I didn't even mess with the clamps or zip ties
As of 1pm today, I'm calling it. The card did not surviveI put the air cooler back on and loaded it in my computer and got no video at all. At least the same card is on sale at newegg right now..
I leak tested for a good 6-8 hours on the first assembly, after leak testing all the blocks for 24 hours. The 1st leak sprung after 2 weeks of normal use. Sometimes leak testing doesn't solve everything.
New card arrived. Unlocked it, put the block on it, added it to the loop with my 140mm radiator, and new loop complete. Temps are awesome. My DC program only brings heat up to 45C on both cards when overclocked to 970mhz@1.24v. CPU runs at 37C at full tilt when GPUs aren't warming things up. CPU idles around 26C.
