Watercooling Leak Testing

[MotoHarmer]

Whats this case called ?



[KHFADKDFG3443]

what kind of pc is that?

[mad87645]

@KHFADKDFG3443 the case is a silverstone tj07

the pc itself is a heavilly modified rig

[munroe74]

its easier to see leaks in the dark

[MegaHolymoly]

why leak test with the GPU in....

[myztklk3v]

i did a leak test with my system installed, just had the water block set up outside the case, unplugged the power from everything and jumpered the psu.

[listert2595]

what is none conductive liquid like at "non conducting" its just im looking into water cooling but im more worried about leaks than anything else. Plus what are pc's with water cooling like for moving around e.g. to lan partys etc. its just i move my pc around alot

[ninjikiran]

@listert2595 Its actually not that bad, for one when you leak test everything is unplugged but the powersupply to a power supply tester.

As far as actual leaking goes, all the connections are impossibly tight, and you can make them even more secure.

ONG BEST PC EVUR!

[Intel1502]

@mhaneline Fine? In my situation non-conductive fluid is great, maybe not for you. It's what I like and what I feel is the best choice, it has saved me many broken cards. Also, it takes a fair amount of time for the fluid to lose its non-conductivity, a simple leak test wouldn't flaw its' values. How do YOU feel about being wrong?

[PrimeAquaLover123]

What exact lighting did he use?

UV cold cathodes? normal blue cold cathodes ? LEDs?UV dye? UV tubing? just tell me exactly please...I wanna build mine just like that

[lostintas]

tienes un deposito igual que el mio jejej buen video saludoss!!

[alexsick88]

wow its beautiful !!

[Crazybuttlazy]

I will shit in your mouth can you guess why ?

[CatastrophicGunz]

MY EYES!

[Protection220]

Think you got enough LEDs you fucking raver

[iValvePlayer]

What case is that?



[PCguy650]

Thats why im buying coolant that is anti corrosive and doesnt conduct electricity

[bobbysam232]

@PCguy650

it will.. become conductive.. and destroy your pc if its on when that leaks out.

[tehklutzking]

@PCguy650 Still has a risk from going through the loop picking up ions and if that leaks it will still cause a short. Best bet would be de-ionized water with anti corrosion chemicals and a dye.

[bendikn]

@tehklutzking cant you use oil for cooling? like mineral oil wich is not conductive

[tehklutzking]

@bendikn A standard pump would not handled it and burn out very quick.

[XantheFIN]

IM BLIND! aah that blue light.

[bayandsl]

what kind of water does it use?

[shinraorg]

LOL, well i have a watercooling loop kit, awesome temps with my i7 OC 49C MAX. Plus super silent. On the colors, i use Feser Coolant, they have a variety of UV Colors plus its non Conductive =)

[mhaneline]

shouldn't you be leak testing with all that crap OUTSIDE the computer? just sayin..

[Backwardsman97]

@mhaneline No because if you put it together outside the computer and run it for leaks, it may not but when you put it back in the computer you could easily cause part of it to start leaking.

[mhaneline]

@Backwardsman97 No. The only possible way a non-leaking loop would begin leaking when you put it in to a case is if you used horrible fittings, or did not install the loop properly. With correct fittings, it will not leak. Absolutely NEVER leak test inside your case. That is the worst idea of all time, ever. I don't care of the case is completely empty. You'll still have a mess to clean up if you screwed things up. Always "short" your PSU and test the loop away from any other components.

[Intel1502]

@mhaneline No. With non-conductive fluid your parts can be leaked on and they will work like nothing happened if you simply dry them out.

[mhaneline]

@Intel1502 I enjoy when someone that knows exactly dick about water cooling tries to school me.

As soon as the non-conductive liquid circulates in your loop, it becomes conductive. Non-conductive coolant is a sham, and I feel bad for all the suckers that fall for it. Save money. Buy Distilled + PTNuke.

[Intel1502]

@mhaneline Water (non-cond) + my video card = no problem. Maybe something much worse happened in your situation but I strongly believe that non-cond fluid is the way to go.

[mhaneline]

@Intel1502 Science says you're wrong. How do you fee about being wrong?

[Intel1502]

@mhaneline meh, I'm just happy my "magical" water works ;)

[seacuracao]

@mhaneline epic fail. you leak test with the crap inside, but make sure it's off to avoid shorting our crap

[mhaneline]

@seacuracao ...because water can't do damage to circuits when power is off. *sarcasm*

[seacuracao]

@mhaneline whats the point. if you take it outside, and then put it back in, how do you know you might not have made something leak again...

[mhaneline]

@seacuracao if you cause a leak moving your water cooling components, they weren't securely fitted in the first place.

[seacuracao]

@mhaneline you can still create a leak no mater what, even when moving a pc and all its components are securely fitted.

[mhaneline]

@seacuracao Only if you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

[seacuracao]

@mhaneline Are you gonna give people lessons on how to move a water-cooled PC? Besides, you know how many people get leaks by just moving their pc to a lan party? it may be leak proof on your desk, but if you shift the shit to your car, then to lan party, then back to your car, and then to your desk... how do you know nothing might haven't become loose?

[mhaneline]

@seacuracao If you use the proper tubing/fittings/clamps, it will not leak no matter how much you move your computer.

[seacuracao]

@mhaneline you don't always have to use those ugly shits. You can you the differences of tubings and the in/out on blocks and so on to keep them tight. How do you know that your reservoir wont break under all the pressure of moving... many things can play a role in this...

[ComputerHelp007]

@mhaneline theres no parts in there, so i dont think this is that bad

[DJKhaosTheory]

Man wouldn't being a PC enuthist suck if you where colorblind to blue.

[deathtotheislams]

Rofl! why did you put you vid card in for a leak test. thats just asking for trouble.

[uberweirzz]

pretty hardcore pc for cs :D

[robiniroven]

@uberweirzz wtf do you mean :S

[Warvancrusade]

@uberweirzz

>cs

are you fucking kidding me? oh boy, you must be joking i'm sure of it.
