It's amazing how much water you can get on your motherboard and still have it work. I forgot to tighten one fitting, and dripped water down the side of the CPU socket, and right down the rest of the mother board, and once I let it dry out, it all worked perfectly. Except the SATA port that still had water in it. That didn't work. Once I dried that out too, the motherboard was fine though.

not worth it really, at least not for $120... After running custom loop cooling on systems for 10+ years, basically 24/7/365 , ive never had a leak beyond the initial leak testing and even then its usually only a few drops. Honestly the only time I've seen a worse leak was with a Chinese D5 pump from Barrow. For some reason the O ring wasn't sealing to the Reservoir well enough to hold pressure... But thats why you leak test . Once a loop is operational, im not going to say it will never leak, ever.... but its exceedingly unlikely. Those blue automotive paper towels are awesome for leak tests as they hold a good amount of water. Anyway that's my experience, just measure well and make sure your tube ends are properly finished and evenly cut & you are unlikely to have issues. 24/7/365 by the way, putting it like this $120 buys a Full cover GPU block, delivered..... or a few 360mm radiators... or CPU blocks and fittings...and the tools to properly cut and finish tubing ( which is the best investment to avoid leaks to begin with) So yeah, up to you guys but my experience is this thing is banking on the paranoia rather than the actual fact, leaks rarely happen beyond your initial test.

[@TheDoritoBoi]

As a person studying mechanical engineering, this is a really cool display of concepts we learn in fluid mechanics. Im guessing in order for it to prevent fluid motion outside the tubes, it is trying to pull a vacuum in the reservoir. Im curious how they account for changes in pressure caused by turbulent flow in the pipes when a hole opens in a tube.

[@garmack12]

300 millibar is equivalent to 0.3 atm or 120 inches of water so back pressure and resistance to flow are not likely to be issues in this application. I doubt any pump used in pc water cooling has the head to overcome that level of back pressure or the power to drive fluid at flow rate to generate that back pressure on pc water cooling components. (Pump curves) Unless the water level of your loop is 120 inches above the lowest point you should be good.

[@martinpalmer6203]

That's what they are banking on.. after years running custom loops, its really unlikely to ever see leaks especially after the system is up and running, beyond the initial leak test. You power the loop *only* during leak testing and leave the main components unplugged. Use blue automotive paper towels below all joins and fittings Fill the system, power on... watch for leaks. Of you dont see leaks, leave paper towels in place, run the system for a few hours to let the air work its way out... Still no leaks? Plug it all in... Leave the paper towels in place... run it for hours, weeks or however long you need to feel comfortable its not leaking. Use your fingers to check around any joins and fittings, sometimes there's such a slight leak it won't even drip. That said, after the initial testing its incredibly rare to have leaks develop and certainly unlikely to ever have catastrophic failures , just avoid glass tubing , id imagine that is incredibly prone to catastrophic failures when the system is bumped. Ive seen plenty of shattered fluorescent lights in my time so im a bit averse to ever using glass tubes to carry liquids. But hey, you do you.... ive ran systems long enough to say 24/7/365 is very reliable. Also your 1st build is less Likely to leak because you are extra paranoid amd careful.. its only after you've built a few you get a bit more comfortable and overconfident, then you'll get your 1st leak 😆

From a trucking standpoint, thinking of even just air line leaks: this product is a Necessity if that computer is your work and you do water cooling. Price is very reasonable for what it does, but any more on price and you might consider alternatives.

They do make some of the best watercooling gear on the market... I've been using an Aquaero for my fan control since long before I actually built a custom loop (over a decade now) because it's the best fan controller out there.

[@fil9o]

Had a custom loop pc since always, on first occassion i will buy it. Most csutom watercolled pcs are much more expensive than $120 gadget. I even destroyed GTX1080 once due to loose fitting. 10/10 great product, wondering why someone didint think of it earlier.

its a loop vacuum with a pressure sensor...a LPMS if you will similar to TPMS on a car but more like the air system on a Hummer H1 where it can drain and fill air in the tires internally. this just keeps a negative air pressure in the system in the event of a leak

[@jojo97410]

this product is great , it works as advertised , if you make a whole 2 opposite side of the tube , like the first 2 , your negative pressure is enough , but as soon as you add more wholes in a single side it starts leaking ,if you make wholes on only one side of the tube like the 2 last ones and in the sample of their commercial video , the negative pressure would work well , to prevent the leaking

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

Yea it does very clearly just pull air into the system (not balance the pressure perfectly like they claim), so all it does is run a vacuum on the loop and it has a pressure sensor that can tell when the vacuum starts losing pressure and sets off the alarm. I would be curious to see if it has damaging long term affects

[@NoneofyourBusiness-gy9yw]

hello stupid what long term damaging effect is more important then preventing a leak ? you need to have your head checked.

[@0b3rz0nK]

Love that they used a goretex membrane that you usaually find in automotive electronics with the top cover removed (see the 6 clips around the membrane). Guess the shield is removed because it can trap water near the membrane. If you ever tear one or need to replace, you might be able to, they are somewhat standardised. Pry them out, remove the broken clips inside and snap in a new one (there are also screwed ones but this looks like a "gore snap fit")

I am happy someone actually put this in a computer. This works in a similar function to an outflow valve in aircraft order to maintain cabin pressure.

[@emu071981]

Aquacomputer is kinda crazy with how complicated they allow you to make your standard water cooling loop. For example, the Aquacomputer Aquaero devices which are microprocessor controlled devices that can monitor temperatures, run fans (2.5A per fan header) all with a graphical display and it can be extended with more fan controllers, RGB controllers, Aerostream XT pumps (microprocessor controlled water pumps) and so on. This Leak Shield is just another example of how insane their devotion to water cooling is. That said, this thing does sound pretty awesome. I would buy one if it didn't cost so much (I would have to buy a new reservoir).
