my first time I watercooled, I didnt have any system hooked up to automaticly run the pump. so a week after I set it up, I turned it on and it cut out 5 minutes later. I was all WTF?

repeated this for an hour till I noticed I didnt plug in the pump.

that computer served me for 3 years after that till I retired it.

the intake of the pump should pull from the reservior and pump into the radiator.

but if your loop doesnt lend itself to that, you can take other liberties.

Thermal shutdown FTW! Since I have gone to WC, i set mine at the lowest my mobo will allow me to. I think its 60c. Works out because I should really never get that high on my set up. Saved me one time when I had a bad mount.
