Hi every one, one question for first time setting up water cooling setup, because I never done that before - My radiator and almost every water cooling component are higher then water reservoir, - haw to fill up the system ? Is all water will be draining to reservoir automatically after I switch of system.. or water will stay where are – because loop is sealed ?
Many thanks in advance.
Sorry for my English.
 
Yes – Loop is in setup like that – pump>CPU Block>Radiator>reservoir> Pump
I just afraid that when I will open filings port on reservoir to fill up with coolant, when is empty while I filling system, will happens drainage, and reservoir will be filled from system. Sorry for stupid questions – just try avoid problem
Maybe you can give more explanation about bleeding the system ?

Couple of links I came across when doing my own research, I'm a watercooling first-timer too. :)


Might want to get one of these:

so you can use a spare PSU and not risk any gfx cards etc while testing.

Well looks that I can get any where one of this - 24 Pin ATX Always ON connector - Any proper instruction haw to make his connector?
 
Thanks every one for help – I just filled system with liquid, have some small leaks, but all sorted : D
Now awaiting for another PC components .
