[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1015046, member: 369937"] I would replace the hose with clear stuff, that way you can see if any air is getting pumped through the system. Then replace the coolant with fresh stuff, and if your in an area that it could freeze if the heat in the building should fail replace it with stuff that has anti-freeze in it. A web site called "Frozen CPU.com" has flow indicators that will tell you whats going on with the pump, if the pump fails your CPU is dead. So I would try it out without installing it first, also make sure the resivore is a bit higher then the pump intake, this way it cant suck air if the fluid level gets low. Here is one I setup, the reservoir is a bit higher then the pump, the blue thing at the front is the flow/level indicator, the silver box has the radiators inside, with fans at back sucking air through them. The green stuff is the coolant, the spiral stuff on the hose is to keep it from kinking. [ATTACH=full]106866[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
