I've gotten brave and took my water cooling setup and put it on my main system.
Here's my setup :: DD cube radiator, DD maze block, Rio 180 pump in 2cool computer tank, 6' hose
It worked very well on my amd 500mhz system and I had no problems with it but now on my PIII system I am getting a weird "backflow" of air.
When I turn on the pump I get a good flow of water through the whole setup. When I shut it off I am getting air in the short tube that runs form the radiator to the intake on my reservoir. All the water runs back through the setup and air replaces it. I have hose clamps on all the connections so I don't think it's sucking in air. What's going on ? Is the air trapped in the system maybe ? How do I get it out if it is ? Any other ideas are needed. Please help me out, I've never had this problem.
