Hello,
I just finished upgrading my system with a new 420mm Radiator on top and replaced the old fans with brand new Noctua NF-A14 fans.
All in all I´m quite happy with the perfomance of the water cooling loop.
What I dont like is that despite the Shoggy Sandwich, the pump is still transfering quite a lot of vibration onto the case.
I assume that this is due to the hard tubing or more precisely due to my lack of skill with it. This is my first build, except that I just upgraded it but all in all my first and only loop, so I am not really well skilled with the bending of the tubes and I dont have enough tubing to just create a graveyard of failed bends before inserting the bended tubes into my system
My question is now, what you think the problem. Is it the hard tubing connected to the pump which is causing the vibrations and if so, would it help to simply redo the bends in a way that it wont be under as much stress as it is right now?
The line from the GPU to the pump is under a lot of stress as the bend is not 100% perfectly.
Or do you think or rather have the experience that the pump can not be decoupled properly when using hard tubing, since the tubes will always transfer the vibrations no matter what.
If that is true then I would like to look into buying a new case which has a seperate compartment for the pump. Then I could use soft tubing to connect the pump without having soft tubes inside the main compartment
Another question is about the drainage system I currently have. I can tilt the case as much as I want but there is always fluid left in the system which wont flow to the drainage port by itself.
Would somethink like this help? Any experience with it? http://www.aquatuning.de/wasserkueh...hilfe/20503/alphacool-pumpin-gum-ball-schwarz
I guess if this should build up any pressure I would need to be able to stop the flow from the reservoir to the pump so that the air will be channeled through the complete loop into the drainage port if i use the pumping ball on the top reservoir position. Is that correct?
Thanks for any suggestions and input
