So I managed to finally get my loop done today and have started bleeding it ready for full system use.

Only problem is bleeding it the pump, it is connected to seperate power supply but is a pwm pump so only seems to be running at its slowest speed which just isn't fast enough as I can see the jet of water coming from the pump its that slow.

Is there any way to force the pump to run full speed? Just that my cpu block is hardly full and don't really want to run the system incase it gets too hot. It really is running very slowly 1000ish rpm at most.

Thanks.
 
What did you have to do in the end? Run it with the system and edit the speed in the bios?

Did you have any issues while doing that?

Thanks :).
 
Sorted it out now to run full speed with a guide on the internet taking a wire from the end of the molex on the pump to the green wire on the header it is now full speed. Certainly shifting the water now! I'll leave it running for a good 12 hours to check for leaks and remove as much air as possible. Ill then run the system and adjust speed from there. Thanks guys.

I will do the link no problem :), but it's pretty much a forum answer so I'll do a propper picture when I get my pc running tomorrow.

Picture is right at the bottom of page: basically plug pump to molex stick a long wire through the hole furthest from the red, then stick that into the front hole where the green cable is on the pwm connector.

id prefer the vario over the pwm. Wish I went for the standard I thought it may have the switch still on the back incase you didn't use the pwm. I like the idea of the pwm but I can see it being a pain.
