filling, bleeding and testing new loop Hoping to fill and test a new loop assembly-just a straightforward single cpu loop. The trouble is I don't want to turn on the whole system just to get the pump working and to test for leaks. I'm worried that the cpu will overheat as the air is worked out. Is it a good idea to use another desktop system as a source of power for the pump while leaving the pump in the "other" watercooled system?. Hope you can help guys, cheers. |
You could grab a spare power supply and jump it. |
yes i had wondered about that-thanks ill try it out. its just as easy though for me to use the spare desktop. I know its probably a silly question but Im not likely to damage any components in my WC system if I use a power source from outside that WC system to power the pump? |

Don't forget NOT to run the pump dry. Stop it before there is no more liquid at the inlet. |
ok Thanks for the help guys! Yes I got the 655 pump with the huge cable. Just tried filling the loop with distilled water outside the system to see how it "fills" - not very well...haven't tried turning the pump on yet. Difficult to avoid air pockets with my loop so I'm going to have to be careful with the pump, plus the radiator was like a little volcano and spewed distilled water over the lamb casserole-not too popular now:sad: Going to get it running tomorrow...fingers crossed..maybe should have gone with a microres not the integrated. |
Just gently rock your computer sideways and forward-back to remove the air bubbles. It will help the filling process. |
Ok Ill give that a shot---:thumb: |
sorry to highjack the thread, but do people leak test with the waterblocks installed on the components or before the installation? |
Personally ive just run water through the block before attaching the block- just to make sure theres no major leaks. Willl watch closely for a sometime after the installation for any droplets caused by changes in pressure.... |
