Can you tell us what type of gear that you have? Blocks, coolant, radiator, pump (pics would be awesome!)

Was the kit new or second-hand when you got it all up and running?

I'm assuming that you think that the blocks may be clogged up? If this is the case, it may be an issue with either galvanic corrosion or an additive that you may have in your coolant.
Some blocks can be taken apart - we just need to know thebrand/model first though

Let us know more, and we'll be able to help you more

the kit i got was kingwin arctic liquid cooler awc-1 i got it new almost 2 months here is a link to what is looks like http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=K450-1018

it looks like you'll be out of luck with taking the blocks apart
I googled a review of it - the chrome covers come off, but the blocks themselves are made of 2 pieces of copper soldered together

If you could take them apart, a toothbrush would have done the job.

Looks like the only option will be to flush them with something - radiator flush might do the job, however this is over my head - I'd suggest waiting for someone else that has done this before
Good luck!

EDIT: Oh, how much of the antifreeze did you put in?

I would try a little rubbind alcohal,

I cleand my Storm out using that and some compressed air and it did the trick.

Also what kind of coolent are you using, I see no reason, if you setup/use, the kit correctley that you would come accross a problem like that.

Good Luck!

(Holy bad spelling batman! lol)

i am using Distilled water and anti-corrosive like radiatior fluid

well i am taking my watercooling kit out of my case now because all my new parts is comming in fri. so i want to have my stuff i want to put in my new computer out so it all ready to be put in the new one.well when taking off the waterblock it was very hot and i was like ummmm.so i took it out like was doing.Took it apart to see it the pump was pumping and it was.So the next thing i did was changed the tubes still having prob so the next thing i could think was the waterblocks where clogged and they where so that is what i need to know how to unclog them the kit i have is a kingwin-arciti liquid cooler awc-1 here is a link to what the kit looks like http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=K450-1018

denatured alcohol work better than rubbing alcohol most paint shops carry it
