There is a lot of wrong going on in your post. Only except for may this comment below, you are here to troll. Trolls are not welcome here.

As for the Driveway cleaner comment, I was serious. Since I never tried it maybe that is an idea solution to unclog the block(s). Who knows, it might be a very effective solution. I was even thinking of Gunk from vehicle engine cleaner. Also power cables have nothing to do with this thread. You are only bringing disturbance to the community. If you continue to derail the thread with such trolling I will have to report your post. Also, the watercooling here is all serious. It may look fun or ghetto, but it is extremely effective. Constant low CPU temp explains this as well as the low GPU temp and keeping the system ultra quiet for audio. And I don't have clogging problem anymore so far. The water flow is at full blast by reversing the direction as mentioned many days ago.

Also the bathroom door has been closed in the last 3 weeks. It seems less amount of debris (dust) get on the water now. No cat hair flying around either because the door is closed. A little bit swampy in the bathroom now.

Calling your threads blatant troll attempts while participating in one of them isn't trolling; it's called pointing out your flawed ideas. You should of bought a tank for dirt cheap instead of using an open reservoir and trying to play mad scientist like a large amount of people suggested. The driveway gunk thing was just an overboard suggestion. If you are really thinking that will fix your problems I worry for you long-term. FYI: it only works in reverse because it isn't clogged yet in the other direction. You could achieve this same setup by just buying a cheap tank and you know.......listening.

Then again, I'm not sure what I was expecting from a cheez thread. I'll let myself out.

You came in to my thread and literally were looking to stir up troubles. You made quick assumption I'm a troll because I posted in a thread with an wild idea.

it's called pointing out your flawed ideas.
Incorrect. You came here to insult a member, me. If you disagree with my successful idea / method you could have said in a respectful manner and explain why my idea is bad.

You should of bought a tank for dirt cheap instead of using an open reservoir and trying to play mad scientist like a large amount of people suggested. The driveway gunk thing was just an overboard suggestion. If you are really thinking that will fix your problems I worry for you long-term.
Why would that be a problem long term? Health issues? If I were to use that gunk it would be used to flush the system for maybe a few hours? It's not like I'm going to be running water loop with gunk in there permanently... Like I said, you jump to wrong conclusions too easily, just looking for something to pick on and insult me is what you are after.

FYI: it only works in reverse because it isn't clogged yet in the other direction.
I doubt that. If the original direction was really clogged why am I getting full flow in the reversed direction? I never had this much of water flow when I got these new blocks and water loop installed. It had very low flow speed to begin with! In reverse direction, everything is moving fast. You are also forgetting that I don't have water flow issue now since I reversed the direction weeks ago. Read carefully before jumping to conclusions.

You could achieve this same setup by just buying a cheap tank and you know.......listening.
Now that's an interesting idea. I never knew that thing existed nor have I thought about it. Where are the inlets and outlets located exactly? They also got 42 gallon version of it. Good thing it won't catch debris because it's all sealed. But the problem is this will accumulate heat as they can't be evaporated into air. The water will eventually get hot and I will have temperature issues. My 50 gallon bathtub res water cooling seems to be most effective. It keeps my CPU and GPU temperature low consistently 24/7. My goal is also to keep CPU / GPU temp as low as possible, as I am running minimum voltages and I need minimal power consumption and output for electrical / RF / EMI reduction. You see, my system is actually sophisticated, and interesting.

Then again, I'm not sure what I was expecting from a cheez thread. I'll let myself out.
Other than a water tank idea you spoke of, all the rest you said in the thread was no help other than trolling and bashing (that includes personal insults) the OP.

You mean you never googled "water tank"? That's literally what I did, not to mention several other users commented on the SAME EXACT THING. Instead you called them out for their idea being too pricey, and instead decided to burn an almost identical amount on your current jerry-rigged setup.

I think the bathtub idea is cool. It clearly isn't the most practical or simple or conventional, but it does achieve it's purpose. There's nothing wrong with thinking a bit outside the box, especially if you're willing to live with any and all consequences.

Seems to me that negativity here isn't useful at all. Especially since cheez actually did create his loop and has multiple youtube videos proving it.
