i bought a cheap water cooling unit [ was either get a radeon 8500le 128mb and good water cooling or a cheap watercooling and 9500 pro , i went for the 9500].
I got the [not the best i know but ill make it work for me]
Ahanix Iceberg with cpu cooler
I have 1 main question. I read alot of people leave there water-cooling-units [WCU] on 24/7 , and some turn them off when they shutdown there pc. Whats the best way , id take running it 24/7 would keep form air pockits forming but would it matter much from turning it on and off or leaven it on ?
Im going to be mounting [modding] my case AND my desk for this unit , b/c im going to have both the water tank and the radiator outside the case [ hot case air can effect it , sience test form other modders did it and gaind about 20+* lower temp sience hot air isnt pulld threw the radiator].
How long should i [after turning it on if i turn it on and off] let it sit befor booting my system up for good cooling from the start , 5 min?
i dotn want to sound like a idiot but its better safe then sorry.
thanks for eny imput.
