you know every once in a while a perfect learning opportunity just sort of presents itself yo J the define are six in white you think fine are six in white okay okay it's an arsenic but it's not new in fact it's not even all white I mean what's with the black front really coming from the guy with the black and white car black hood black boy that's different it's the same that's not the same exact same thing not the same fine change it then how with the custom wrap from slick wraps front panel whole case whatever you want even custom designs us that's right we did do that video about the custom wrapped our six choose any of their existing designs or customize your own upload it and they'll make it for you see wow you really can make these custom with rats okay so what you see right here are the pumps out of skunkworks these are over well about four years old ish they're laying D five pumps even though they say alpha cool on there they are all D fives are made by the same manufacturer by laying so you have a PWM version and a standard this is the one that does not oh I should pray that little knob back in I digress these are all made by the same companies doesn't matter what brand they are but what you're about to see me do will apply to any defy PWM or standard you know dial variable they're called Vario they're var I of area whatever not beside the point so we just did a update to skunkworks oh you guys I don't know when this video is going live but you may have seen it or you're gonna see it soon I did my my system flush used the proper cleaner in there got all the green out it was running perfectly clear did my video filled the loops and yeah we're not about my business came back about three days later turned on my system and was in the BIOS actually gonna set up fans and stuff on skunkworks who had done fan profiles yet and notice that my temperatures were rising at about one degree every two to three seconds which is usually indicative of the really poor flow rate or no flow at all and then my system my 79 60 X at stock speed stock voltage point eight volts was actually resting at about 65 degrees Celsius on water I'm like nope something's not right here then I noticed if I touch the bottom of the pump like right here with it in the system I didn't feel any vibration which told me the pump wasn't running then it done I mean neither of them was running and I thought did I mess up the polarity on the wires or something now I know I didn't touch the wires the same MO let's pin out they've always been then it dawned on me I was hearing the click-click-click-click inside of the pump which I've heard before which meant dead pump so I decided this opportunity to take it apart because I actually fixed one I'm going to show you how I did it today what the problems were and the kind of things you need to think about with long-term use of vanity fluids I'm call them vanity fluids like Mayhem's pastel pretty much Hillview especially the view this is actually the true flute which is another pastel fluid because although I was pretty sure I prepped the system there's some nooks and crannies that you just can't get to with a cleaner that requires disassembly yes I know this is probably why you don't water cool but it's okay it's a learning opportunity so I can help you guys now I don't recommend this but I'm gonna show you guys right now that this pump is working and then I'll show you a nonworking one right here the reason why I don't recommend this is this is the d5 this is just a magnet this just just rests on a magnet it's got a little bearing right there which is still kind of dirty as you can see it's one thing we'll be showing her here that little like nylon bearing it's a whole ball bearing that rests on this and it spins on a magnetic field as this spins fluid is drawn into the center of this core and then it gets pushed out the sides as you can see those veins in there and that is actually how a pump works so as you can see I can spin this moves around freely it's not stuck and when I turn it on you can see it starts up and it spins so when I turn it off if we take a look at that bearing hook it turned black it turned black that's because we have buildup and gunk inside of this floating they call it in power it is an impeller yes but it's the whole piece because it's floating on a magnet I don't know what it's called but that's besides the point so obviously we need to clean that out so let me show you what's happening over here on this pump that's not working hopefully the mic will pick it up right there so that's the pump basically starting and stopping and starting and stopping now my initial thoughts when I heard that because I felt I've dealt with this before and I'm on a d5 pump long time ago in fact when I was doing the redness build it was a bad out-of-the-box pump thought maybe there was a short or something in there and that's what I was kind of expecting with this one but that ended up not being the case so I'm going to take this apart now and show you exactly what we found inside now I ran this system for three days with a prep assistant prep in a cleaner Mayhem's blitz cleaning solute has been through here before but if you recall this particular system has gone through quite a few versioning of versions versioning whatever you want it's had yellow it's had the yellow turn brown it's had the yellow reinstalled and turned brown again it is had orange that turned brown there's a theme there we have had the original green fluid there was more of an emerald green and I changed the color now to more of a regular pastel eat green and then this is the most latest green that we're putting in there so over the last four years this has had quite the various changes of fluid and every single time I always made sure I cleaned out the system with distilled water and solutions until it ran perfectly clear no matter what product is on the market no matter what any man offend manufacturer will tell you you're gonna leak it all over your table that's there we go there's that no matter what any manufacturer tells you there is no perfect product out there I'm sorry and there and if I'm not gonna like that I'm saying this you know hey factures everywhere hey J for exposing this trade secret there is absolutely no fluid cleaner out there that is going to do the job of a disassembly you have to disassemble it sometimes so this is what it looks like on the inside of the pump right there you can see how sediment has sort of kind of rested in between the o-ring and the housing and you can get an idea of how old this this pumping system is to this this ek you know X res csq isn't even available anymore so we're gonna go ahead and take this pump apart but that's the o-ring from the other do you see how gunked-up that is you can see the outside the o-rings to clean because that's where it was actually pushing up against the outside of the housing but look at the inside where all the fluid touches look at all that buildup on there there's even still orange on there and I haven't had this system orange in a long time and I ran a couple different types of fluids when it was orange and not all of them were pastel so you can see it sort of builds up let's take this one off the sate we got this one's actually not as bad that's not as bad as all I'm gonna assume this is the GPU no that's the CPU one so hey well there you go but this one right here this is one I've already cleaned mostly you can see I can sort of spin that and it's got a little bit of rotation now watch this when I go to start it under power obviously it's not moving and you can hear it making that click sound sound again oh it's trying move that do you see a try but I'm not even gonna touch this one yet I already had it it's gonna be hard for Phil because he's working the camera he got to spin this one by hand and I told him I wanted him to feel how stuck this one is dude that friction right it feels like the motor is on and resisting yeah now watch happens when I take it off you ready it gets built up in there and that is what's keeping it from being able to spin now if we just sort of dry this out a little bit more get that bearing nice and clean it should start right up now so what what if otherwise been just thrown away is now ready for service almost ready I got to do some take some distilled water take a bottle brush clean it out however whatever method you want to use to clean it just clean out the inside there where all the gunk can get built up and rides on this little white it's a bearing but the bearing doesn't move because this piece is moving so like a reverse bearing if you will but that is I just we decided to make this impromptu video because I wanted to show you guys especially if you have a d5 what could have looked like bad pumps that ends up in the trash and these are like 80 bucks apiece that's not cheap is now gonna be living on inside of skunk works so thanks for watching today's video share this video with someone that you may have if you if you've seen someone on forums or whatever complain of a d5 that stopped working have them check this it's very rare that these clumps die the electronics and Easy's these are industrial pumps these pumps were designed for purposes other than computers it's just laying realize that hey people are using the art pumps and retrofitting them for computers why don't we make a housing which can it knows that ugly plastic housing so that they can just plug it into their computers in the 12-volt while wires are already there so these are industrial grade they are meant to last in four years does use but usually not enough to kill them unless you really don't take you know good care of it so alright thanks for watching guys go fix your pumps share with people who you think would help and as always we'll see you in the next
