hey i made my water cooling setup and i started running the water etc through it. well it SEEMS there is a slightly small hole on one of the tubes near the radiator and i have no more tubingh left... is there a way (tubes have water thorugh them) to tigthen the one tube so it won't leak or maybe should i just try to re-set the clamp i have on it to tihgter?

ideas!? the leak might have stopped but i'm not 100% positive yet i tried tightening the tube b4
 
so let me get this there is a whole in the tube...........dude get a new tube dont take chance and have a bad leak on your mobo...........you can try teflon tape to cover up the whole
 
Buy some tubing! The risks of being cheap here far outweigh the benefits!

Also, as you run and check for leaks, power the ah heck off and listen for a sucking sound. If you notice that sound and air coming in, then you still have a slow leak at that point.
 
i got simple clamps i thought of double clamping it ... i foudn out it's when (the pump isn't bolted down i should do that) when the pump moves certain ways and stretches the tube proably opening a whole on one side of the tube so it hougth double clamping it might work.. im' going to trty taht now.
 
Clamps? They make several bacis types. My7 advice would be a run to a hard core hardware store, not the lightweight kind. Get the biggest, beefiets clamp that will fit.

Click to expand...

what kind of radiator.....you make it seem like the tubes go in the radiator not around the opening......is that true????
 
post a pic if you can.

teflon tape as a hole(not whole) fix...don't try that. teflon tape is for NPT threads and such. it's designed to fill the gaps between the threads.
