David Zhang thanks on this upload, always wanted to try this but not worth voiding any warranty. Why would they do copper and not aluminum or titanium? For the contact pad that meets the processor.
Keller weskier lol mineral oil submerged pcs require much more maintenance. Not saying it's bad just saying most people want something they can install and leave in for months to years.
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.
My Corsair h115i developed this same problem in just over a year. Currently have my i7 5820k idling at 58c @ 1.16ghz... AIOs have always been a bit of a gamble in my experience.
+David Zhang I am thinking of buying a used closed system, but it might need to have the liquid changed. So when I typed this into youtube search, this was one of the top videos. Your video is very informative on this subject. I like how you explained what you were taking apart, and what to look for in case I do buy the used closed loop system. Good video all around.
+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!
Finally someone explained this in a non-confusing way :P Thanks for the breakdown! Might buy one soon cause my air cooler is making my room practically a sauna.
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.
This is the best breakdown I've seen. Seriously. I'd watched like 10 useless videos before I got here. Btw. If a pump fails, what happens to the PC components? Are they immediately damaged?
Very informative video. I was curious how the heat fins and reservoir cycled the fluid (as I thought, through heat pipes to the opposite side of the cooler, and back, for maximum surface area). Thanks!
You can easily clean the contact find inside with lemon juice and blow clean with air . Since your motor work fine just refill with new fluid , just be sure to run it through a coffee filter to remove any hidden debris. Also can test with cooler removed to check flow before reinstalling.
I just wanted to know how an AIO works, but I was a little bit in doubt, if someone makes Videos like this or not, but fortunately, a very good video is here ! Thanks for making such a nice Video bro...
Thanks for the video! My cooler also failed a while back and i'm taking it apart now to find out why it broke Did you ever find out where the debris came from? I'm thinking friction from some part of the impeller spinning grinds it up. or it's poor quality and the hoses degrade somehow?
nice video! that fluid was supposed to be green or blue like the most anti-freeze fluids...actually i think is the same fluid as the engine coolant on a car but i am not sure...Anyway i need one detail if you can give me... i have the h60 cooling about 5 years now :P yours h60 how old is it? i have start to thinking that i must change that fluid...
That foam is not for noise and vibration. It works like a expansion tank. But instead of bubble of air it is a foam. Bubble in pump is problem. Foam does not travel through loop.
Nice looking AIO, seems to have been well made. My cooler just died, maybe I should take it apart like you did. It made a lot of noise before dying ( I thought the noise was from hard drives, because that's what it sounded like, and I use some hard drives still, due to the cheap cost, for more storage for games.) I wonder what caused the debris in the coolant?
THANKS!! I wanted to know how water flowed inside radiator to know if 14mm tube would be the bottleneck of the flow. Guess the radiator channels are so small that the bottleneck is definitely in there, no point getting larger tubes!
I used to braze these for a living . The heater as we called them is made of brass and sometimes copper . Both good heat conducted .unfortunately the EU buracrats decided that soldering and most importantly acid flu was not the best way to solder the heater snd banned in the EU .the cores are pretty made from manufactures then we added the brass tanks and bottoms with a baffle separating the inlet and outlet .so liquid flows through the whole core thus cooling the heat around it
Hi, thanks for posting this video. I'm building a rig to game/stream/edit on and was just researching CPU coolers. What video editor do you use? I like the effect you incorporated at 2:32 to show the flow of the solution through the cooler.
+PaciDrifter Yeah I couldn't take the stock fan anymore. I had some custom liquid cooling gear laying around so I just rigged up a quick loop for my CPU. It's pretty ugly in my case right now. lol. I do enjoy building custom loops but in the end I always just prefer a zero maintenance air cooling setup.
David Zhang:: Running into your video, after long research was a relief, thank you, i just have a question, from my understanding, they last from 2 to 3 years, then they need to be replaced??? and the most important question for me, do these Liquid Coolant Radiators AIO come with Liquid solution Ready to just install ?? Hope you Can reply, it's important for me to know this?? and thank you again for the video.

i have this same cooler a few years now. Is this what i will be expecting over time? Btw i didn't notice any cooling problems?
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.
The tubes can only be easily removed from the head side of the cooler. They are crimped/glued on the radiator side so I didn't take the tubes off on that side.
Good Fan cooler are so much reliable than those CPU liquid cooler and work great too at high temperature. So what't the point at the end unless you plan to choose your CPU cooler every 3 years.
Awesome video!!!!!!!! very informative!!! i always wanted to know whats inside one. will be getting an AIO cpu cooler to try. i've never used one before.
Clean the base with some mild acid. You can run for a while (20 mins) with the circuit filled with water and a mild acid...it will dissolve any kind of calcium debree. Then run it with clean water then fill it with 70% distilled water and 30% ammonia (prevents any algae and bacteria to form).
If you want to reinvent the wheel build both in 1 unit and get rid of the radiator in the closed loop and cool the closed loop water with an open loop. Its easy simple smaller and way more efficient . But who wants to run an open loop and waste all that fresh water
really nice video, awesome video and audio quality. also it is only around 4 minuts...hate this unnecessary long videos... would you like to make a video where you show how you record and editing?
+alberto9911 Honestly I'm still learning so it would be silly for me to try and teach this stuff right now. I guess because I have a short attention span myself I don't enjoy making long videos. The big guys (eg. MKBHD, TLD, Austin, HardwareCanucks) provide a lot of inspiration and information on this stuff already so definitely check them out. Thanks for the comment.
Hi U self said, that the one screw at the pump may is for filling it up at the factory. Im not sure but u used the taken apart parts of the pump to show us how it works, and ya it works. So, why not trying to make ur self a cooling liquit (maybe several tests befor using it) based on the component mixture of the Factory and Refill it, after checking if the flow in the radiotor is not clogt, if it is, u maybe able to clean it (not so sure how if im hones). At this point u alrdy have enough Video Material for a another Video about the miniVaCü pump :D And yes, im sorry but thats the first vid i ever seen from your channel so im sorry if i hit the wrong content :D (coming from repair videos mostly electroniks). I hope this idea is something u may can work with. Greez and have a nice day (btw, ENG isn my nativ Language so ya :S )
i have exactly that CPU cooler. the problem is that tape and glue one the cold plate, you see it at 1:15 . my cooler went crazy the other day so i took it apart and it was full of that glue, i washed it out and removed the tape and cleaned the coldplate. then i fill it with normal water, while it was turned on and screw the cold plate back on, it sound and works like it was brand new again
I want to buy a liquid cooler but would like to ask does anyone know if I have to put water in it when I get it or if it’s ready for installation straight out of the box
Mine started making an odd clicking sound it was bothering me so I took it out and switched to sock cooler.(Had it 6 years or more.) i3770K cpu The stock cooler worked but the temps got very high. So I got another liquid cooling unit and all is well.
As I am sure others have stated... if the motor works, and the gaskets Etc are fine.. clean out the gunk, flush the radiator.. and put it back together.. buying new coolant is WAY cheaper then complete replacement
Great video! I knew how it all worked but it was nice to see the inside. Now if only the damn stupid Corsair units were this easy to take apart and fix. Note to self: Never support Corsair AIO products again!
I'm thinking of buying one of these pumps just because it is a very low profile pump/block combo and take the tubes apart to build a custom loop around it. Anyone know what the ID and OD of the tubing it uses?
the v-8 fan keeps a fx-8320 operating optimally. but the up front cost of this cooler is comparable with liquid coolers I guess fan noise bothers people but doesn't the radiator have a set of fan's on them anyway?
Ahhh the Water 2.0...I had an issue with mine recently. Just tapped on the pipes a bit and the water started flowing normally again. My question is how can DEBRIS get inside a closed loop?! Unless the debris is parts of the cooler itself breaking down into the water D:
Thanks for uploading this, much easier to understand how a liquid cooler works
np!
David Zhang thanks on this upload, always wanted to try this but not worth voiding any warranty. Why would they do copper and not aluminum or titanium? For the contact pad that meets the processor.
dont use water please. its dangerous. use mineral oil, it flows better, non conductive, and has a better life span on the cooler
Keller weskier lol mineral oil submerged pcs require much more maintenance. Not saying it's bad just saying most people want something they can install and leave in for months to years.
copper conducts the heat way better then both of these.
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.

What cooler are you using now? How did get your temps so low?
Nice, thanks for the teardown!
I am a faaaaaan!!! never thought I'd bump into your comment on a random yt vid!! I hope you'll comeback in the yt community.

Clean it and refill it. I bet it'll be fine.
Yea i want to see that too. Wont be that hard but very interesting.
Its hard to get that clogging out
+xGxPhantom Zzz what about using radiator flush additive that is commonly used in cars?
try to backflush
refill with ??
amazing engineering
Great vid man, clear, concise, quick, without alot of BS that other vids have.
+100
Thanks!
I think heat sinks are best because of the least chance for a liquid leakage that can result in serious damage to valuable parts of the CPU.
This is the best breakdown I've seen. Seriously. I'd watched like 10 useless videos before I got here. Btw. If a pump fails, what happens to the PC components? Are they immediately damaged?
after video ends he would have searched "' How cpu liquid cooler is fixed again " hahaha
He's buying a new one bruh
It would be more great if you add "How to re-assemble and re-fill the liquid"
What is that suppose to be? Greater? much great? Ah yes.. "Better".. Am i getting close?
It would be great if ------

How are liquid volume changes compensated in an AIO? This must have been taken into account somehow.

Will you rebuilt it? You can try pushing some compressed air through the radiator to see what comes out.
Failed from debris. What's the debris from? Probably little bits of the aluminum radiator that have corroded from galvanic corrosion.
great video quality and you are good in explaining stuff.

If I was to make an sff case and a really short loop from cpu block to gpu block to a 240mm rad, would an aio's pump be strong enough for that?
Thats why these aren’t cheap so much going on inside these bad boys, fascinating.
Can you connect this directly to a battery or it needs electronics like ESC?
Nice video. I was wondering how did all the (dust?) debris... got inside the closed system of water flow?
Great video. I don’t understand How the liquid got dirty if it’s completely sealed. Do These liquid systems have frequent problems?
Very informative.. Thank you mate,
so after this video, that liquid cooler cannot be used again? or cannot be cleaned out and refill again??

I love you! thanks sooooo much. this video scratched exactly what i wanted to know
Can we refill it with a coolant use in the car radiators?
Thank you so much for doing this! I've been looking for reference so I can mod mine with a hardline tubbing ;)

How old was this unit? How long was it being used I mean.
@David Zhang, How difficult would it be to replace the tubing? Are you able to remove the tubing from the proprietary fittings? Thanks for the vid.
what brand was this? good video by theway
Thats unstockest intel cooler I ever seen xD
Arek R. "unstockest" wooohooo nice grammar over there!
Grammar is fine, just that word dont exist you dummie...
Doesn't*
...
Arek R. ahem spell dummy in the right way sir! 'dummy' not dummie haha its true ur grammar sucks :/
Hi David, how old was your AIO Watercooler?
your picture is cute
Great video! I knew how it all worked but it was nice to see the inside.
Now if only the damn stupid Corsair units were this easy to take apart and fix.
Note to self: Never support Corsair AIO products again!
why not cleaning it up and filing it up with liquid again?
why not refill the aio you showed the pump still works
Did you try to fill it again and fix it?
Nice video. Are the fittings made out of aluminum too or copper/brass? thanks!
Hi! Were you able to clean, refill, fix and reuse your liquid cooler?
I'm thinking of buying one of these pumps just because it is a very low profile pump/block combo and take the tubes apart to build a custom loop around it. Anyone know what the ID and OD of the tubing it uses?
Why is there a radiator? it makes it cold right?
cheap AIOs requires more maintenance just for slightly cooler, if not, worse temps than an aftermarket fan cooler.
Took mine apart and it looked the same way if not worse, how do you remove the hoses on he radiator?
I recommend a Noctua air cooler if you have the space for it.
what size did you use on those soft metal screws holding the coldplate?
mirror polished copper plate would rock. the v-8 fan one rules. reminds me why I refuse to use liquid coolers. Fans only please.
the v-8 fan keeps a fx-8320 operating optimally. but the up front cost of this cooler is comparable with liquid coolers I guess fan noise bothers people but doesn't the radiator have a set of fan's on them anyway?
Ahhh the Water 2.0...I had an issue with mine recently. Just tapped on the pipes a bit and the water started flowing normally again. My question is how can DEBRIS get inside a closed loop?! Unless the debris is parts of the cooler itself breaking down into the water D:
do these come with the liquid already inside?
yeah that had shit growing in it... i would flush it out and use some thing that has an antibacterial additive in the coolant...
