How to test watercooling??

I believe you can connect it to your PSU via two pins. Let it run like that to check it.
 
put scrap inkjet printoffs under all the joins, blocks, etc. and run it outside of the case for at least several hours. if the ink doesn't run all all by the end, then you can be pretty sure that there were not any leaks.

what system did you end up getting?
 
no, install it in your case, attach all your hardware just like you want it set up, that way if it does not leek you are not moving the tubing and risking a new leek, and then unplug all the power from all of ur devices, mobo, vid card, hard drives, cd'roms, fans, everything... and just plug ur pump into ur psu and use a paper clip to jumper 1 of the black wires and the 1 green wire on ur 20 pin or 24 pin ATX PSU Connector, (or if it uses AC current, wire it in some way that it will kick on..) and let it run in your system like ur gona have it for at least 24 hours just to make sure there arnt any leeks....
 
But if it does spring a leak in your case it will get all over your hardware, and any additives in your water will be all over your hardware.

it's not a big deal as long as the hardware isn't running. if everything is off, just dry it thoroughly before you power it on and it's all good. that is why he said to disconnect everything except the pump, and short the ATX pwr signal pin.
 
Or how about this since were dealing with expensive hardware. Leak test outside of case, install, then leak test inside? Sounds like a safe bet thats worth an extra day so things dont get toasted.

This is what I did.. twice.. lol..

I ended up finding a leak as soon as I installed it in the case... i didnt even get to power it on.. so i leak yanked the whole thing out and leak tested it again once i had fixed the leak.. then put it back..
