ok, my dd4 pump came in and i am holding on chip and gpu blocks, but i started thinking... How does everyone leak test their 12v system? Place it in a bucket next to comp and run it?
 
You can either trip your PSU to run with out the system to be on. You short to pins, or just do what I do, use another computer if you are lazy.
 
I have my whole WC system laid out on some paper towels right now. Ran a molex out of the front of my case to my MCP600. Found one leak that only appeared when moving stuff around: barbs on res not sealed in res right (despite the teflon tape). Busted out my clear silicone and fixed that one good. :thup:
