Down to leak-testing after about 5 hours of work (as you can see it is now 3:30AM and I have Prom tomorrow)

Should I leave the MCP655 at full blast?

Also, how many drops of PT Nuke? It says 4 per liter, just wanna double check with the community.

Little thought here, is it important to have the res as high as possible? Would it be bad to have it about 10cm under rad?

Pump was making a lot of noise at the beginning but after a few minutes it's pretty much silent except if you get close. Hopefully when I wake up it should be completely silent.


Oh yeah, CAN I GO TO BED?? Or is it vital to keep an eye on it?

Let it go all night long. As long as your hardware isn't powered you will be ok.

Inside, but the only thing powered is the pump. A few napkins here and there.7/16 tubing over 1/2 barbs.

edit: Second rig, I can see the confusion.

I clicked Start, now one more person comfort me and I will click Shutdown.

yes just leave all your hardware off with the pump running and you'll be fine. Make sure to tilt your case back and forth to make sure there's no air in your radiators.

You will be ok. Your fear is certainly warranted but rest assure that as long as you were careful setting up and took your time to double check and look for any initial leaks, you are ok! ZZZZzzzzzzzz

Edit: and the top of my fill port sits about 4in lower than my (entire) rad and i use a trusty AA battery to plug it

I usually power the Pump,fans when i leak test thats really about it, make sure you have paper towels on the bottom of your case, also make sure you dont have your cpu block mounted onto your mobo, really no point As for the PT nuke Add either 1 drop per liter of coolant

Thanks all! Hitting the pillow
