i have some problem with my setup..(i think my pump)
my radiator recently leaked.
it happen last Wednesday morning.
luckily didnt effected my hardware..
b4 this i used PA 120.3 rad..also got leaked..
then i use xspc rx480,early dis year..then it also leak..
i dunno what to suspect..either my pump or rad itself.
guessing my pump cant handle the pressure of the water.
any sifu can gimme a solution on this.
i'm on 2 loop btw.and my pump is mcp355 with ek top x2.

QUOTE(monsh @ Oct 30 2011, 01:50 PM) @jay nice catch bro . that's probably 1 of the reason as well . screw for rad is very important u get definite length . even a bit longer would puncture it . i just got the perfect length of the screw.. since it super rare occasion i would believe,it bcos of the defect of the rad itself..  |

QUOTE(owikh84 @ Oct 30 2011, 10:10 PM) leaked rad can be fixed by soldering the leaking hole. if 2 rads different brands u must be the unluckiest guy in the world. can i just sent it to a normal rad shop?thinking of fixing my PA 120.3 rad... also afraid it might leaking somewhere else. |
