Eisbaer 420 pump stopped working

[Defiantone82]

I recently purchased an Eisbaer 420 from Scorptec in Victoria, Australia as my first way into water cooling it worked great on my 2700x for a month but the pump has stopped working only readied after my pc shut down . What is the process to fixing this ? Is there a better pump I can buy or is that it and I need to buy a whole new cooler ?

There is no flow and the pump is not working at all right?

 

[Defiantone82]

That is correct , can I just add an aftermarket pump to the loop or will it not work as it has a built in pump already on the cpu block. Just a little annoyed that it's already failed after watching jayztwocents vids on YouTube he always seems to use alphacool rads thats what got me to buying this unit to get into the water cooling scene.

I am sorry to hear that really Sure you can add an aditional pump to run the system no problem. You think you are able to chenge only the pump on the CPU block unit?

 

[Defiantone82]

Yea I guess that shouldn't be a issue at all see a few YouTube videos do it

 

[Metropolis34]

Okay. We do have here at our forum also a lot of how to videos. Please write an email to info@alphacool.com Do not forget to provide your address please. We will send you a pump asap.

I have sent an email thank you so much for your help

 

[Metropolis34]

You are very welcome mate

 

[Defiantone82]

I did ask to see if there was an upgrade at all if I was to put it more money for a stronger pump wasn't sure if there is or not

 

[Metropolis34]

No it is not needed we use the same pump and the other version of it that we have at our shop is bit stronger (3600 RPM instead of 2600) but really loud. It is more suitable for server cooling.

 

[Defiantone82]

3600 I would prefer if an option as with a custom loop more flow would be better what is the price difference

 

[Defiantone82]

Or is there a way of running 2 2600 pumps if I wanted to buy another at some stage

 

[Metropolis34]

Then you need a reservoir to be able to instal two pumps. As i wrote above i would not recommend to go with the 3600 one.

 

[Defiantone82]

Oh ok no worries what res would I need ? And what price

 

[Metropolis34]

What kind of reservoir do you like? Or let me ask this way how much space do you have in your case?

 

[Defiantone82]

Was thinking just something that o could end up adding 2 pumps at some stage. I emailed but have not go any response yet

 

[Metropolis34]

You will get a response today. Monday and Tuesday are very bussy here in the office. Thank you for your patience.

 

[Defiantone82]

Thank you I have had someone in touch and sorted me out I will be after a Plexi to for my pump at some stage soon it's around $50 Australian is that correct

 

[Metropolis34]

Which article do you mean?

 

[Defiantone82]

Isn't there a top that can be put on top of the pump so it becomes a stand alone pump
