Hello,
I've seen a couple of mentions about this on both this forum and others, but I am having major problems using an eisblock XPX CPU block. My loop consists of CPU -> Northbridge -> Koolance GPU block #1 -> Koolance GPU block #2 -> reservoir. Now, this is a retro computer (circa 2010) that I am restoring to glory (hopefully) using a Zalman Reserator XT modified with a Laing DDC-3.2 pump. I assembled my loop checked for leaks, shook things to clear air bubbles and fired her up. The flow never exceeded 30L/hr, and over a period of about 2 minutes continuously dropped to zero. I have checked every possible loop combination to identify the culprit. The flow across the pump alone exceeds 120L/hr. Importantly, when the pump is connected to the northbridge block and the two GPU blocks, it is still exceeding 120L/hr. Add the eisblock to the mix and back to a dismal 20-30L/hr that drops until the pump shuts itself off to prevent damage. I do not believe the eisblock XPX should be reducing flow THIS MUCH! It is unusable. I suppose, has ANYONE used this block with success? Do you need a powerwasher to keep the pressure?? Surely something is wrong with my individual block or I am missing something big and obvious. Please send help!! And thank you!
