THE NEW KOOLANCE HARD DRIVE WATERBLOCKS SUCK ASS !

mine keep getting air locked

theres no  air going in, and non comming out

evil little things to blooed, good job I had auto shutdown set for overheat !

considering binning them tbh (3 of them at Ã,£40 each!) and just buying some different ones !

fusking HD waterblocks !!!

air locked again, couldent blow or suck it out... drained the system then connected it up to the hose pipe (like ive doen hundreds of times to fluck a system out)

left the hose running slow.... kept an eye on it.... got air locked.... and blew the front off my pump.

dont know if i can return them used, without the packagine, but Im going to bloody well try !

They shouldnt get air locked at all :shock:

Pics?

the blocks are basically a waterfilled bag inside a metal frame... inside the bad is some sort of flexible honeycomb structure to push the bag out against the bottom of the hard drive....

I think thats whats causing the problems

irdered 2 x coper block hard driver coolers... i;m going to stack the drives one ontop of another (all six) and fix the coolers to the sides of the stacks

remember the water should go into the stack of drives at the bottom and come out at the top. If the blocks are fed and collected from underneath then you will need to fill them and remove air before you fit them to the case. If they enter from the side, as they should, then there should be no problem.

Got a link to some details/pics?

those are the blocks

already tried filling them before I connected it up, theres 6 hard drives stacked up ontop of each other, with one of those blocks between each pair, filling from the bottom block and working up...

theres all connected up right... I haven took the hard drives off to make sure there was no air in them.... but later on they still air locked
(guessing there were a few small bubbles in the rest of the system still)

tbh, Im too pissed off at them now !

ollllld thread, and ill add some pics later.....

got some new HD waterblocks... fixed so 2 of them cook 6 drives

temp after 30min of full load is 26C

(rad has 3x120mil fans in 5v... silent goodness!)

Why didnt you ask me about HDD waterblocks !!

Id already bought them so it was too late

I used the old koolace blocks years ago and they were perfect for what I wanted, nice and simple and easy to use.... I just assumed the new ones would be the same

I need to add some photos to explain it.... but I stacked the 6 HDs up, and then fixed a HD waterblock to each side

big of an old thread... but...
