Hello Alphacoolers,
In November 2020, I ordered an Eisbaer Aurora 240 and started cooling my CPU with it.
Last week, I ordered a 420mm radiator, GPU Block, a VPP755-Reservoir combo, tubing and a quick coupling, and the Alphacool Tec Protect 2 Clear Liquid.
After installing all the new hardware, I let the pump run for a few hours to bleed the loop of air. After I did that, I connected the quick couplings of the eisbaer to the new loop. The cooling liquid turned blue-opaque-ish (see attached image).
Will I just have to empty the complete loop and replace the liquid, or is this still okay to run for some time?
Second, I have a question about pump noise: My pump, a VPP55 seems a bit loud, when compared to videos I've seen online, where you basically only hear the water sloshing around. I read that this might be due to an overtightened pump housing, but this res-pump combo came preassembled, so I don't know if there is anything wrong with the pump?
Mind, the noise was there before the liquid changed colour!

I'll be happy about any feedback from you
