Liquid Cooling System

ChrisUlrich · 03-11-2008, 12:12 AM

I bought an Thermaltake Cooling System for my old PC a long time ago. But the pump died, again. I was wondering if you can mix and match pumps? And if you can, what specs do you look for when do this? The reservoir is the size and fits in a CD Rom slot. It only cools the processor.

sure, just so long as the pump isn't integrated into the reservoir ex: the reservoir would fall apart from the pump from being removed. but if it isn't just get one that would match the flow rate per hour

The pump was already removed and sent out. So all we need is a pump to fit everything back together. You can't oversize a pump can you?

And how to properly fill and bleed the system?

don't look at me in terms of that, lol thats for someone else, and i would imagine that if you fill the reservoir and hook that up to the pump then send it back to the reservoir that should bleed it, i have no experience in the liquid cooling area sorry

Just make sure that the pump uses the same size tubing, or you can buy adapters.

What about filling it and then bleeding it?

You would need to bleed the system before you can install the new pump, yes. And if he has a reservoir then there shouldn't be an issue trying to fill it.
