Default Adding second loop, question on fill spot.

Okay this may be a dumb question, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm wrong. What I want to do is add a second loop to cool my VGA cards and north bridge seperately from my current CPU only loop.

I'm ready to start installing, but before I do I want to make sure my fill spot is right. Here is a picture first of all, see how the fill spot for my T-line is actually lower than where my radatior is mounted? Will this pose a problem and gravity will make my t-line fill up because part of the loop is higher than the fill spot??

Only take the plug out of the t-line when the pump is running and you'll be alright, the pumps suction should keep it pulled down in the tube.You do have the t-line right before the pumps inlet right? Thats where it should be.

If you take the t-line plug out while the pump is off you'll have water going everywhere from gravity pushing it out.

I've always wondered about that lol. always thought the case would have to be rotated in order to service it, but with a fixed t-line fill port, that's not possible.
