I never trust closed loops, and after seeing this video, my concerns are validated. All that crap coming from the rad is enough to screw up the pump. Even on custom water loops, its always good to flush new radiators, many brands do not even bother with this in the manufacture process. Still, good video. Thanks for sharing.

+Ervin Goss Thanks for the comment. Although I'd just like to say that I don't recommend you change the liquid in a closed loop (unless it is one of those expandable setups) Filling these back up is extremely difficult as the fill port typically requires a high pressure injection to remove most of the air. It's not impossible just extremely difficult without a reservoir or a port to bleed air. Good luck!

Old post, but CPU coolers do the job of moving heat from the CPU, and into the room the computer is in. There's no magic to get rid of heat. Which is why server labs have to move the heat out of the room, somewhere else. I have thought before, it would be nice to vent the PC's heat outside, or move it underground. I once saw someone with a mobile home, dig a hole, for a water tank in the ground, and build a cooling solution around that.

David, I literally just went through almost this exact issue. I also have the same cooler as you, the Antek Kuhler 920. So mine started making impeller failing noises after i had cleaned out the system one day. I was stressed and worried that I had to replace it, so I waited a day. The next day I took mine apart like you did. Mine was not clogged like yours, but you can see the same issue is happening as they seem to use Antifreeze (based on the smell). I cleaned out my motor, cleaned out the fin array, and started to reassemble the pump. I used a small syringe to add distilled water to the pump before closing it up so the impeller had something to pup once it started back up. Reassembled and am currently back up and running on the same system. Their is still a small heat issue as I am running at idle 43c (109f). But once under load don't really get all that much hotter. I do plan on going custom loop on my next build, but if I do keep this cooler for another PC, I will be flushing and replacing the coolant in the system with proper coolant from EK (as it's a much cleaner and less likely to fail solution). Now you said that it is difficult to add liquid to the loop, but this is not true. You can flush the system with distilled water, you would just need a large plastic syringe to push new liquid through one tube, the radiator and out the other. Assemble, and then do as I did, just add more water by pushing water into the system to push all the air out before assembly.

uhhh, you could have just cleaned out the micro fins, flushed out the loop and refilled, boom fixed. The pump is obviously working, just debris clogging up. The debris you got is due to the coolant being an ethoyl-glycol (probably spelt wrong) mix which is know to react with plastics. Alphacool and many others have premixed solutions by the liter on the cheap. Great video!

You probably could but you'd have to bleed the system of air bubbles when resealing the system. Air in the system causes improper cooling / temperature fluxuations, the less the better. AIO's don't have a purge valve so you'd have to make one yourself. Pretty much works like a car radiator.
@BugsBunns

Many CPU coolers have a filling port on the side of the block/pump. You just need to find a corresponding nozzle online (Ebay for instance). I had to replace the liquid in my Corsair H60 once, and it was VERY much clogged. But DO NOT take it apart for fun, it's a messy job that is OBVIOUSLY going to ruin your warranty.

You can refill. I did it with mine. Although, I wouldn't recommend using the fluid I chose. Although, I'll probably replace it if I notice any issues down the road with it. I'll get some distilled water. When I shot my video it was late at night and I just wanted to move along with the project so I used 50/50 diluted anti-freeze. I read that if you go this route you should do a mix of 1 part anti-freeze and 9 parts distilled water.

You sure its glycol based coolant as well? Apparently (im relatively new to water cooling) some plastics have issues with glycol based solution's. I use a non-glycol based racing coolant 50/50 with distilled water in the custom loop i have.No discoloration or any other issues to speak of in the couple of months its been in use.

Your pump being hot isn't a sign of failure. You have to actively check the temperature of the processor under load to really determine if the pump is failing. It's actually understandable for the pump to actively be hot, and manufacturers know this and design their components to withstand said heat. If the pump is failing you'd see idle temperatures of like 60-70C. The fact that you were able to turn on the pump and the rotor began to spin means the pump is perfectly functional.

That is just a few more reasons why I don't want to switch to water cooling solutions. Water cooling solutions are unreliable because of that tiny magnetic impeller. That impeller dies when the circuit dies and then u have a hunk of metal that is over heating on one end and cool on the other (It would have still have potential if it was passively cooling by convection motion but it doesn't) causing ur cpu to throttle and shut down. I am sticking with air coolers until they finally make a practical design for a CPU Peltier coolers. Those thermoelectric coolers came out around the time of the 1st gen i7 and have a working life of upto 22 years without moving parts.
