Hi I just recently watercooled my cpu ... it's a very simple loop with
only a single 120mm rad, aquastream pump, EK ltx block and bitspower
cylinder reservoir, I did it more to give watercooling a go. For the
most part I have been very pleased with my temperatures (it is an old
phenom II cpu so nothing hot). But my aquastream xt pump is throwing up an error saying "flow rate: too
low". According to the software it only throws up this error if
flowrate is below like 0.1gpm ... so my flowrate is desperately low.


I have checked my tubing there is no kinks in it. I have doubled checked my loop order and it looks fine, you can see it here . It is such a small loop
it can't be the number of blocks affecting the flow. The final thing it might be is I put a drain port in. It is just a bit
of tubing connected to the bottom port of the radiator with a seal plug
to facilitate draining.

I can run prime95 with a vcore of 1.5 and an overclock to 3.6ghz fine
for hours. Is it theoretically possible that I could have a flowrate
that diabolical and still be able to run prime95 with a chip chucking out
150watts on a single 120mm rad?

I also did a hardware reset on the pump to put it to factory settings.
No in the main page it doesn't display the error because my default the
tickbox to do so is unticked but in the other software menus i can see
the lower than 0.1 GPM error.

Is it an error with the internal sensor!?


Any help appreciated.
