GP Modder Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I had to test the radiator today. There were no tools for it. I figured it out An idea for those who are building their first water cooling system and there is no pressure-test set nearby. I built such system many times, but I didn't see the point in investing in one, I trusted myself. But it can be useful, I needed it now because the radiator that I install in my current machine has been used here and there for a couple of years so I thought I'd test it now before installing to avoid any complications when the computer is finished. So the ingredients: 1 car tire valve (Schrader valve) 1 locking screw to close the end of the system. 1 x 13 hard tube fitting (I use Alphacool.) 1 bicycle pump with pressure gauge You connect the fitting to the other end of the system, unscrew the nut, insert the small rubber valve with a valve needle through it and you screw it back into place. The bottom also sits right into the fitting. You connect the pump and inflate gently as you feel, I used 1 bar of pressure. If all is well, you can bleed the air from the system by pushing on the top of the valve needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP Modder Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 This Alphacool unit is so beautiful that I install it as an external component. I make the console from wood, which is placed on the bottom unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
