AIO Liquid Cooling Problems - Triton 360

Subressor · Mar 18, 2016

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a Triton 360 (AIO 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler) and love it! I just wanted to ask 2 questions though and Rajintek's website isn't letting me send emails...

1) When I received my Triton 360, I could see a gray residue within the liquid, in the hose and the pump block. Not much, but if you shake it then its like a snowglobe. Is this normal? Or could this be a problem?

2) I am having a little trouble installing the block so that the hose does not kink, it is VERY flexible! Maybe too flexible... I have tried all different angles but I cannot get it to not-kink (I have a PC-O8 case). What can you recommend to alleviate this?

Thanks!

1--might just be the dye if the coolant is coloured or could be plasticizer which wouldnt be great

2--you can buy anti-kink coils

mcnumpty23 :

It's uncoloured... what's plasticizer?

Thanks, I'll try and find some coils - any you recommend for this AIO?

some tubing uses plasticizer in them and it can leach out and get clogged in the cpu block

though dont know if the tubing in that one does or not

anti--kink coils you get for whatever diameter of tube you have--they also come in different colours so can get a colour to match your build

Thanks! The packaging says the Trition 360 hose has OD (outside diameter) of 12.5mm... Will a 1/2" anti kink coil like this fit & work?

It's 0.2mm out, but will that make a difference?

Not sure on the tubing problem... It has a cap you can take off to refil the liquid so I guess I CAN replace it before I install it, but it may void my warranty. What are your thoughts? Does this indication give any rise to the catastrophic chance of a leak?

mcnumpty23 · Mar 18, 2016

0.2mm will make no difference at all

let me have a look to see what tubing they have on it

mcnumpty23 · Mar 18, 2016

cant seem to find any info on the tubing

as thats expandable you could also drain it and cut the tubes to the length you need to stop kinking

but seems that voids your warranty which isnt very good when its sold as being expandable

Hi @mcnumpty23,

Just wanted to give you an update now that I've successfully built my PC using a Triton 360. The Anti-kink coils worked a charm! the Triton needed 1/2" coils, which isn't standard apparently... and they are a pain to put on, but they give it more than enough strength, and I think my setup is one of the worst for tubes.

Thanks again!!
