My current build is a socket 2011 with a first generation Titan and a maximus extreme board. The cpu and card are underwater. I have a mountain mods custom case, which I love. I have a triple radiator with six push/pull fans set right after the EK bay res that has a d5 adjustable pump pushing the water into the cpu, then the gtx titan. The water then goes into a single rad with a push/pull configuration, then back to the bay res. My cpu and gpu never get above 25 C. This is my 10th build, first watercooling build. I am hooked. I have had this setup for 3 years, I have drained it only once but have continued to periodically hit it with drops of bio kill. It is now time for a new build. I am happy with the fact that I have never had a leak, largely due to this site. My question is mainly this: how long can I count on this pump? When should I worry about it failing? With the new build should I also get a new pump?
Next, should I feel safe to reuse the same fittings and tubes for the new build?
I have seen horror stories of isiots with algae growing in their systems. Is this a thing of the past with bio kill?
TIA for your help.
