The whole loop looks "herpity derp"...I know this!
 Have been intending to remove that QDC. Better hurry up on it. Still doesn't explain though why it went from 3L/min to 2L/min with no change in loop configuration  Formski |

http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...d.php?t=977554 yeah the flow change is a bit odd but this is why i say shit like "theory and practice are 2 very diff things" coz weird shit like this happens IRL maybe drain it and refill it again just for lolz and see if it improves doubt an air bubble would cause that big a drop though

Would anyone mind if i nominated this build for noob loop of the year award? omfg that is messy!
Creekin you missed the QDC onthe left hand side of the CPU LOL ok, now the bit where im slightly helpful  do you have the bleed kit for the bay/res? that is th eolder model that really needed it. you have way too much rad, for once.. lol easy to test, just unplug the fans on one of the rads, bet you dont see a temp increase. im with creekin on this, get rid of all the QDC's except the to the rad's. its either those, your blocks are blocked, or your pump is fked. its all it can be.

Geez...first time I've been nominated for noob for anything PC related in a very long time...  Unfortunately a combination of a heavily pregnant wife, family illness and too many hours or work mean I haven't had enough time to sort this out properly and also clean it up.  Originally (i.e. start of the thread) there were QDCs on each side of the GPU blocks and CPU blocks. What you're seeing is the fact that they hadn't all been removed when the photo was taken so now the only QDCs in the loop are the two that connect the rads.  The res kit I have is v1.3, so it does have the bleed kit installed. At the moment I've got the main loop feeding into P2[in], out P1[out] and the 180 degree kit looping p2[out] into p1[in]. The bleed kit is in the LHS and the acrylic bypass in the RHS. The setup is bubbling a little on startup and clears out after a few seconds, and all I can hear now are the pumps, which given it's on a reverberating piece of wood as a stand is not unexpected. From what I've read on the internet this is the 'official' setup that Koolance recommend (the 'manual' doesn't say squat on the best way to set things up) Tonight I've got 2.8L/min flowrate with both pumps at '5'. Removing either pump drops flowrate back down to 1.7L/min, so they're both pushing water to some effect. I'll look into the blocks to see whether anything is blocked. Formski |

are you still having flow rate issues? the thing is this week I brought the koolance flow rate monitor, the same as yours. set it up last night and reported 3.3LPM for about an hour or so while i did some testing.
anyway turned on the pc tonight. 2.4LPM .. nothing has changed... now im suspicious of the flow meter. i can see the spinny thing is turning at the same speed it was last night.

Post 4 here: http://forums.koolance.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1691 indicates that a horizontal install may be more reliable than having it vertical which mine has been for the last week or two. Have changed it here without any noticeable effect yet. Formski |

Ive been having the same issue so this is a useful discussion
.I'll ditch 2 of my QDCs tonight and see how that helps. I have a fair amount of tubing and 2 rads (phobya 1080 external, dual 140mm rad internal) for my CPU (2011 Sandy bridge E) and SLI gtx 680's. Not sure if the internal rad is needed but it's helpful if I want to ditch the external one for a while.... How much tube and rad would be too much for a single D5? |

tubes and rads are very low restriction compared to blocks almost negligible

i have a KL flow and 2 AC flows and never noticed any fluctuations
could be the converter? does the sound change at all...do u think the flow is actually changing that much or just the reporting? got a multi? can u see how many pulses are getting spat out of the amp and if they are "regular" ?
