I put together a two-loop system and I was doing my first leak tests last night. The loops are:
D5 Pump > Res > 120.4 Rad > GPU > GPU > D5 Pump
D5 Pump > Res > 120.3 Rad > Apogee XT > D5 Pump
The issue that I am having right now is that the CPU loop is barely giving me any flow at all. I'm using 1/2" ID tubing on both loops, the barbs are all identical and the reservoirs are set up the same way. They are cylindric reservoirs with the inlet on the bottom and the out on the side, with a half plate in the middle. You can visibly see the flow on the GPU loop.
So what I noticed was that the tube running from the outlet of the Apogee into the Pump was just barely pushing any water. I changed pumps, same deal. I changed to the 120.4 radiator, same deal. So this leads me to believe that the Apogee XT is doing something that is halting the flow of the loop.
I've seen plenty of other people using the 1/2" ID tubing with this block, so I don't think that is the issue. If anyone has any methods I can do to trouble shoot, that would be huge. I'd like to try to get this ready to do a 24 hr leak test.
