switch

ok i just got done reading all the articles on OC.com on watercooling .i got lots of ansers. but just one more ? befor i start getting parts how do you turn on and off the pump. do you just use a switch or a relay to turn it on with the puter. thanks

plug the power core into the power socket, PUMP ON

unplug the power core into the power socket, PUMP OFF

No switch for me, not running relay.

I used a relay for a couple of years, and as far as I know, it still functions fine...never let me down, in fact.

Now I just run the pump 24/7 with the pump plugged into the same power strip as the computer (just in case).

It's just a matter of preference, and if other people have access to your computer (never bet your hardware on someone else's memory).
