^^ the fittings he used that let go arent compression fittings.compression fittings use the SAME principle as your screw clamps... take it from someone who watercooled numerous PCs without and leaks or problems
Well boy, hear what happen last night.D machine leak testing, so i say i go leave it overnight, and test for leaks in the morning.So i went and take ah eat etc, getting ready for bed. I decided to gone take a look at the machine before i sleep.Time i gone back outside, d floor wet. So i start wondering if rain fall and how d hell it reach in d garage.I check, no rain. Then i start sensin something weird, i take ah peak at the front of d machine, and noticed d resevoiur completely empty.I raff d plugs from d pump quickly. I bawl out "SHIT!" hard hard, wife come runnign to see what happen.Time i start to inspect d rig to see where d hell that water come from, i see d hose leading out of d chiller 1 way, d hose clamp another way.I call isme2003 one time, cuase when bleeding is he attached that particular hose. He say d hose was secure and that clamp was secure.Whiles on d phone trying to figure out what d hell happened, a drop of water fell onto the chiller.Time i look up, a big circle of coolant on d ROOF!Those chillers make to take 1.5" / 2" hose, but it came with a reducer kit to bring it down to 1/2"What i could deduce, d pressure build up so much in d loop, and in d chiller itself. and concentrated right by d reduction point.And pitch d hose, d clamp and all d coolant bout 10 feet in d air oui.Hear nah, i still speechless.I just thank God that d coolant didnt get on/in d pc, otherwise id still be crying all now!Amazing.So tonight is Bleeding / Leak Test Part 2! with a Side of "Pressure Protection!"I going to try a screw-in clamp instead to see if that wok better, or an elbow at the Output of d chiller to alliviate the upward pressure.Or a combination of both!.....Day 6!
some one pray for that to happen, that real hard but i really enjoy your story telling.. lmao!!!
