Editing my original thread about my WC system, as seen in the pictures below my T-line has the water level about 3/4 to the top. This WC system has been running nonstop for the last few days and I just noticed that the water in my t-line is now about 1/4 to the top. Does this mean air has simply found its way to the Tline or would it seem like I have a leak? I checked everything and cant find any dried coolant or leaks =(

please help

looks good, but you can cut some of that tubing from the cpu block to the radiator, it will bend with no problem
-also you don't need a resevior and a t-line. one is just fine.
 
how much did this cost you? Have any temps on the system no oc and temps with oc and both on idle and load? The system looks like you set it up just for the cpu. Is that all?
 
Well I dont have the CPU yet or the Video card, still waiting for the price drop and the
R600. Its been running for about 4 days now, no leaks *prays it stays that way*

And yes, it is setup to just cool the CPU right now, once I get comfortable with Watercooling I plan to do the northbridge and video cards (with a better radiator of course :D ) we all have to start somewhere I guess, lol


I cant wait to get this up and running!

Any tips are appreciated, I wasnt sure how to drain the system with a res, so I added the T line just incase. I originally ran the system with water for a few hours, then I drained it and added some of the FluidXP coolant.
 
Sorry. I might be in the wrong section for this. Bump for edit problem, read first post =( :(
