built loop now worried

[grandpatzer]

I just built my first watercooling and I'm wery worried

I have put 2 picture of this build.

Q1: So if I run this setup for 24-48h with pump on and no leaks I'm good to go?

Q2: It seems like I have kink between res and waterpump, beside more resistance does this mean the tube will break aswell?

Q3: I connected a tube with fitting to fillport hole on case, but this metod is wery difficult as it is almost impossible to fit a tube with fitting to reservoire what other ways are there?

Q3a: So once I filled the reservoire and run couple of times I took out with big effort fillport tube and put on door on reservoir where fillport tube was, now there is air, how will this air be released from system?!

Q4: How do I bleed system now?

Q5: How do I drain and refill once I put in GPU + External radbox?

Q6: I want to drill out the harddrive cage but where can I install the res, there is no holes to install it.

Q7: The holes in the top of case where too big to screw in M3x30 screw to rad, so I had to use 4 screws for fans to case and 4 screw fan to radiator, is this bad?

First it seemed like my reservoire is leaking however now it seems like it might have been water from when I overfilled the res.

Now there is a 15cm (5inch) long air bubble when I turn off the PSU the air bubble goes throug cpu block and into reservoir.

My current goal is to add a external radbox + 360 rad and add a 7970.

hmmm - too many questions at such a late stage of the build

these questions should have all be answered BEFORE the build

Q1. Yes. I ran mine overnight.

Q2. The tube won't break, but you are putting more resistance on the loop and the pump. Get the kink out.

Q3. I didn't put the cap on my res until I got the air out. Once my tubes were free of air and my water level where it needed to be, I capped my res.

Q4. See above.

Q5. Excellent question, I was wondering the same thing myself when I go to add a GPU. Lots of paper towel and pinch off a tube on the top, that's what I'll do. Slowly drain into a bowl probably.

Q6. You really should have done this before you started putting any water in the system. You shouldn't be drilling holes in metal with electronic parts inside anyway. Metal shavings are a bad thing.

Q7. Not really sure what you mean...

What he said. Take your time and plan before you start. It makes the rest of the build go so much easier.

Q7 not as long as its stable in there but I would invest in some flat washers and have them all secured to the top.

Thank you hmmblah and S_I_N

Regarding Q3 the problem was that when I had it open the pump pushed the water out through the fillport and it was alot of water and hard

This made me worried and I thought you had to bleed with the fill cap shut off so that the pump can't push put water through fill hole.

Maybe if I put pump at level 1, but it's difficult because the red speed switch has fallen off and harddrive cage is in way of a thin screwdriver.

Q4. but I can't bleed because the water comes out though the fill hole on reservoire?!

Q7. So I think you understood how I meant S_I_N

It is 4 fan screws holding 2x 120mm fans to the case and 4 3mx30 screws holding 2 fans to 240 rad.

I think I'l forget about washers because it took me 3-5hours to install the rad because the screw holes on the rad are not matching up properly so if one fan hole is installed the other hole takes alot of time to trie screw in.
