ravix Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 I am very slowly losing water in my watercooling setup, yet I can't find where nay water is leaking, and I have tightened all the the hose clamps. Any ideas? I am asking this because I am approaching the point where I need to add more water, and I know this can't be right. It is an extremely slow loss, around 1 tablespoon every three weeks.

BionicSniper Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 its probably condensation throught the radiator from my understanding this is normal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfett Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Is there any condensation anywhere? From all the heat a processor gives off I am sure that at least some water would become gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioActivated Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 I get that same thing also, no leaks and less water. Much be condensation, as other be saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 the water doesn't really get hot enough to turn into a gas, my water runs about 25c at full load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 meh, i guess the phrase "filler up" must be a pain for h20 cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 i thas to be from teh rad, i would assume some evaporates off of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 i dont see any condensation on my rad......., guess the room would have to be really hot to do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Whether its condensation, evaporation or even the apocalypse, it just happens in every w/c system, reguardless of whether or not its leak free. Some take longer than others, or evaporate quite fast. Its nothing to be worried about, thats why reservoirs or fill ports are usually "easy to access."

ravix Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 meh, i guess the phrase "filler up" must be a pain for h20 cooling. Not at all, I have a fillport at the top, I just unscrew it and add some. Thanks for the tips guys. I feel better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
