obsolete said:What kind of tubing? Maybe that makes it "appear" as though it's cloudy? No additives? Water wetter generally makes your tubes look cloudy.....
Was there possibly something in the radiator your using or anything else? (left over fluids)
Otherwise, I don't really see how distilled water could get cloudy looking unless there is something in the loop other then distilled water........

are you using a t line? If so you could have to let it run for up to a couple days. Try turning the pump off and see if you can see little air bubbles floating in the water if so you still need to bleed. Try turn the pump on then off a few times, and tipping the whole system at different angles to coax the bubbles out.AlanD911 said:I dunno man i've been running it overnight. I'm still running it right now as i'm at school. By the way The waterblock stays so cold with the 120mm fan on it's awesome!

obsolete said:Did you turn it off & then turn it back on? Air bubbles could explain the cloudyness, but it would be pretty obvious there are air bubbles so I figured maybe a fluid was left in your loop. Seeing other posts by you in the watercooling section I see that you have a prebuilt kit & such is not likely.
Turn it off for a bit, then turn it back on.......
Make sure you leave the fill cap off of the res so the bubbles have a way to escape the system, make sure you have some towels around it just in case of spill overs. Also try tipping the res to the side while the system is running and fill the res until you can't get anymore liquid in there. Let it run for a few hours and tip it again and try to put more liquid in. The point is the get it as full as possible so there is no room for air in the lines.AlanD911 said:No I am using a res not a t line. What do you mean by bleeding? is that just running it and waiting for air bubbles to go away? OK I will try your method and if all else fails i'll just add some hydrx n call it a day lol
