I think this is the last part of my watercooling first steps that is still confusing me. But I felt that it would be best if it were made to be a general type of discussion rather than what to do in my particular situation. That way more people might benifit from my head scratching.
Now, it is apparent to me after a simple 2-3 inch rise in res level that the positioning of the res, when directly in front of the pump inlet has a big effect on things like priming and filling. What else can be done to make things go smoothly?
Guru's and everyone else please chime in on this. Lets make it a success like the one about less fluid a week or so back.
Below are the things spinning arround in my head that prompted this thread, a bit of background info i suppose.
A) How can postion the resevour as to minimise or eliminate the pump sucking in air when filling the loop??
B)How about the whole bubbles flowing really fast through the loop and taking forever to work them selves out at the res? Can positioning help out there? And what about foam? Once this becomes an issue, what can be done to resolve it?
