    Appears to be working and getting good flow at 80% pump speed. About 1 gal/min here. Also oddly enough the pump is of a much better and less noticeable sound profile at 80% vs 60 - 75%. Ambient temp in the room is approx. 21.6C (71F on the thermostat). So appears to be about a 4.5C delta for the coolant temp at idle. Haven't really tried anything at load yet. Fans are all on 1000-1200rpm currently for silence. Will probably dial them in to something else at load...well at least the GTX rad fans. Obviously I know this isn't the most accurate thing, but helps me get an idea.

    Thank you very much! I just finished refilling and bleeding the air out. Now to see about updating the BIOS and getting started on tweaking.

    To be fair this is the first time I've ever used one having water cooled since 2011-2012ish, but I wanted to actually have some semblance of data to use. Also first time with hard tubing, was curious if all the bends would really affect things much vs the soft tubing where I try to limit my use of 90s.

    Well I took the screws out yet there is no give. Finding instructions seems hit or miss and the pdf link I found won't open. @Mr. Fox, @Avacado Edit: Ok, I just put a fitting in there and pried it out with a tube and flipped the impeller. Should be good now.
  5. Sir Beregond
    Exactly what I needed, thanks Pook.
  6. Sir Beregond
    Will check that out then, thank you for the suggestion.

    Do I have to buy it?

    Maybe I am just getting rusty since the last time I did desktop support was in 2014, but anyway here's the problem. I forgot that my Crucial 1TB 2.5" SSD was a W10 boot drive prior, so now using it as a storage drive in my new W11 box, I see where I can delete the main partition, but not where I can delete the others that Windows always makes. I feel like I am missing something obvious here. I can delete and reformat E: all I want, but can't seem to do anything with the recovery or EFI partition. I want it to just be one big disk like Disk 2. Disk 1 on here is my main m.2 drive with W11 installed on it. I don't need the Crucial drive to be a boot disk anymore.
  9. Sir Beregond
    Correct. At some point will grab some Aquacomputer stuff.
  10. Sir Beregond
    How would it be getting that data I'd wonder.
  11. Sir Beregond
    Definitely agree with chair. Steelcase ftw.
  12. Sir Beregond
    Yeah thought about adding one of these in the future. In this case, I spoke to ModMyMods on the phone and it was legitimately a bad batch of coolant from around the time Mick sold off Mayhems. MMM seemed to indicate that that was a problematic transition for them and their additive packs for the Mod Water, but has since been sorted.
  13. Sir Beregond
    True. Ok will take a look at doing that tonight.
  14. Sir Beregond
    Hmm well crap. Hope that's not it since I filled it up. But will take a look. Another thing I will have to figure out...I noticed the Dark Hero RGB remains on after the PC is powered off. I am going to have to figure out how to turn that off as when in Windows I used OpenRGB to turn all of that off.
  15. Sir Beregond
    Gotta figure out what's going on with this flow meter. It is reading coolant temp, but flow is showing as 0.00L/min. It didn't come with any instructions, so perhaps I need to do something.
  16. Sir Beregond
    Just got the new rig up and running. This is bone stock under water. Will see what we can get it up to from here.
  17. Sir Beregond
    Looky what I'm doing today. I did take @Avacado advice and flip the bottom rad fans to intake (in pull). Still working on bleeding air out for now, then will hook it all up and see how things are looking. Edit: ok all the big air is bled out now, just will work out the micro bubbles over time. Total coolant usage was approximately 850-900ml.
  18. Sir Beregond
    Does it show as something you can uninstall in control panel remove programs?
  19. Sir Beregond
    Cool, will do. I usually like doing push, but will probably be in pull since the tube runs are already done.
  20. Sir Beregond
    Ok, finished the Blitz Part 2 run and 3 flushes with distilled water. PH testing is coming out a solid 7 after last run. Parts are drying now. Also cleaned all fittings and the tubing. This gives me an opportunity to think about my fans again. I previously had it where the side is intaking and both radiators are exhausting. Wondering if it makes sense to intake both radiators and exhaust side? I don't know. This case still confuses the hell out of me when it comes to airflow. I definitely think that custom PPCs front panel is in my future.
