So, today I took out on of my graphics cards (I wasn't really utilizing it, so I decided to sell it), and I had to do a little tube re-routing.
My computer was not built by me, I bought it as a complete system here off of OCN.
Whilst re-routing my tubes, I found that the way I had my reservoir oriented was causing me the problem. All I had to do was use the other inlet - it is a tube reservoir with two inlets. I took my barb out of the top thread where it was, and then went to remove the metal "bolt" kind of thing:
I thought I had to just turn it with a penny or something. I tried to turn it (to the left ofc) and it wouldn't budge. Even with all my strength it wouldn't budge. And then I noticed cracks around the bolt-looking thing.
What can I do about these cracks? Will they leak? Do I have to replace my reservoir? It would really suck if I would, because the only other compuer I have is my laptop, and I need the horsepower of my desktop.
My second question is this: what is the proper way to remove the bolt-looking thing? Was I doing it wrong?
My final question: can my loop operate without a reservoir for the time being? Can I just put a barb on of my pump where the reservoir was feeding it?
Thanks in advance for all your help,
-Scott
