How do I know if liquid is flowing

[LordTourettes]

just got a liquid cooling system. It seems pretty nice. How do I know if liquid is flowing properly though both tubes? Seems like one the shorter tube is vibrating a lot more than the longer one.

If its an AIO cooler (which is sounds like) feel the tubes after running the system for a while. One should be warmer than the other.
Other than that, the system would be overheating if flow is poor.

My temps are around 30-40 and the pump is running is there supposed to be like 2 pumps on the radiator?

 

[Gam3r01]

There is one pump, and that is inside the waterblock mounted on the processor.

I have the h240x the pump is on the raider.

That would have been good information to know in your post, only Swiftechs coolers have the pump on the radiator, as they are expandable open loop coolers.
Look though the reservoir window, and feel the hoses. It does seem to be working just fine given those temps.

Does on tube push and the other tube pulls back in?

 

[Gam3r01]

The pump circulates the fluid through the waterblock, then to the rad/res

What's a rad/res

 

[Gam3r01]

Radiator and reservoir.

So when you said the pump circulate that means that one pipe is pulling the water from the CPU and the other is pushing the water on the CPU. That's why one would be hotter than the other? And also that makes more seance because it will require more force to pull due to gravity? Is that correct?

 

[Gam3r01]

Yes, that is correct. One hose is supplying the water to the waterblock, where it flows across it, then the other hose brings the warm water back to the radiator.

 

[LordTourettes]

Ok thank you that makes so much seance now.
