water cooling testing?how to's?

[Banditblue]

Well,im settin up my first watercool unit and have run itno some questions even tho i have a manual.

mainly concerning testing for leaks In reviews and such i see "out of case"testing being done.

This manual makes it appear that in case testing thru shorting psu is the method shown.Now,i can sorta understand this becasue there is a wiring harness in the circuit for all the probe reading,etc.and i have to router thru this harness.In order to do so and test the "actual"fittings with the "actual" tubing "as is" setup in a loop via cpu block.

If someone still reccomend out of case,pray tell how and still use same tube connects without recutting?

Also,question arises on tubing lenght cuts.since cpu is close should i cut/recut short and just buy more tubing down the road should i go to another mobo perhaps with different cpu location or have a lengthy amount extra and just route it every which way from the extra lengths.

Thanks for any input///

well,i reached a compromise.everything is testing now.partly run thru the case with cpu block laying out of case.what is ample time to test for leaks and does it matter if i run it maxed out or not while testing?thx.I failed to mention this is an koolance exos-2 external setup//

p.s-ya,i know i posted in the wrong section again,doh-
