ghost you forgot a major step

the 24 hour leak test
1. Install the water cooling
2. Deinstall the watercooling without removing the tubing
3. put down paper towel
4. leak test for 24 hour
5. fix any leaks
6. Reinstall

Pfff sod that mate, I just make sure I use good quality hosing and connectors then double check everything... Done two PCs with watercooling, one with Zalman that was CPU, Chipset and 2x ATi cards in crossfire. Then the 2nd was mine, Alpha watercooling that was with CPU & chipset. Both have been fine (touch wood).

But seriously yeah Beast is completely correct, I didnt do that but its always best to do it.

The bulk of my stuff is here, so i decided to run a little loop for fun and test for leaks.

Now just waiting for my rad to get into stock and for my package from over-clock that contains some barbs, a plug and a nozzle kit and i will be good to go

You'll probably get to push your Opteron a little higher if you have been having some heat problems. Good Luck!

I like to check to make sure it works right

don't forget to wash you're rad out with warm soapy water to wash out the flux

Yeh im gonna get some hot water and run it through the loop and out into a sink a couple times, then put the res under a tap and let it run a few more times before i put it together in my case

Although id like to believe this, my bottleneck is my motherboards FSB wall, but a cooler chip is a bonus anyway
