I know that bleeding the lines is used to remove all the air out of the loop, but how is this done with a water cooled setup?

What type of connector do you used for bleeding ex. T adapter?

I used an open res. Some use a t-line.

The idea behind it is to run the system until all the air has evacuated. Hence you leave the t-line or reservoir open and patiently wait until all the bubbles have escaped. If your pump is variable, you can turn the flow down to help the bubbles escape easier.

Forgot to add: Make sure the computer is not running when you do this.

if you have a reservoir:
leave the filling cap off and run the pump for a few hours

if you use a T-line:
uncap the end of the line and run the pump for a few hours

either way, just undo a plug somewhere that won't cause a mess and leave it on for a while. The majority of the air will come out and what you're left with are the annoying bits you have to tap, rotate (with the plug back in), and whatever to get to come out.

Connect a paper clip between the green wire and any of the black (ground) wires on the 24-pin connector on your power supply.

Make sure the only thing connected to the power supply is your pump. Nothing else, no fans, no other hardware.

I am getting that pump and I wanted to know, which way does the liquid enter and which way does it exit?
