Hi guys!
Im a pretty new guy in this forum, and my english is pretty bad, but I have some questions.
So, I just bought a liquid cooled 360 (image below) and as I started it, it run for about 30 secs.. and 2 red lights (overheating?)
IPB Image

Uploaded with ImageShack.us


so i have some questions:


1. As i opened it, I noticed that only 1 of the 2 fans were running, could that be the problem?
2. And i took a better look and the "green liquid" inside the tubes was not moving so fast it looks like its been compressed or something.. much white small bubbles in there... Could that be the problem?
3. Can I like change the liquids and whith what will I do it?

Hope quick answers smile.gif

Btw.. Nice forum here

Did some research with some old talismoon whispers. Only 1 fan running so it looks like the fan connector is fucked up..

Your cooling is external so its probably just a signal type error not actually overheating cpu/ gpu.

I remember someone else having the same problem on these forums, turned out they didn't remove the thin piece of plastic from the heatsink. Worth checking...

As for those air bubbles, they don't look small to me. While i've never tinkered with liquid cooling, I know liquids will contract and expand with heat and so you will likely need some kind of expansion vessel if you don't have one. Those air bubbles will massively reduce it's cooling potential.

Ramping a Xenon straight up to overheating isn't a good thing to do.
