hey i needed to redo my loop because i am switching cases so i have everything all set up and it is leaktesting now (if no leaks will be done to set up in case on sat).

my components are tc4/via aqua/dtek heater core

anywho what i am wondering is if any of my components, more specifically my pump, will be damaged if i run the setup without a fan while leak testing. my pump, while not scorching hot, is pretty damn warm right now!

comments?
 
man i do it ALL the time and have NEVER had a problem~ if ur worried about the pump~ AS epoxy some small 486 HS on it and it keeps it pretty cool~
spyder
 
I would say epoxy the heatsink on anyway;) It should be alrite without the fan, but go ahead and point a house fan or something at it..
