This is my first time water cooling so I'm kinda learning as I go along. I've already found several things I'll do diffrently next time. Anyway, first what I have then onto the questions.
P5ND2-SLI Deluxe w/ P4 650 @ 3.4Ghz
Sapphire Radeon X850XT
2Gb Ballistix 5300
Audigy 2
Plextor PX-708A
4 x WD3200KS in raid
400w Antec Power Supply
What I'm planning to cool it with is
Swiftech Storm
10ft Primoflex Tubing
A one pass GM heater core (6"x9.25"x2")
2 Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F
FlowRite ~320gph pump
4" PVC pipe as a res
I'm planning to get a gpu block in the near future when I get the money and/or a chipset block. Anyway, everything is hooked up sitting in buckets running a leak test at the moment. I did a search and what I found said I should leak test for at least 24hrs. While I've never water cooled before I have messed around with pumps and hoses and such quite a bit. In my experience usually once you stop the intial leaks (if any) and run a pressure test for 5-10 mins without leaks you are good to go.
My questions are, how long do most people run a leak test for? And how often do you find a leak after say the first few hours?
