Wierd topic, sorry. Anyhow. I'm about to build my first ever water cooled rig out of second hand parts. I'll be cooling an old p4 setup. Not because it's oc'ed or anything, but simply because I don't dare ruin the expensive stuff.
What I don't know yet is how to put any liquid in there. I've got a T splitting thing right before the pump (eheim 1046) that leads up to a 'filling point' or whatever it is, and then the rest is a loop thru a tripple 120mm rad, and a (dd tdx) cpu block. I won't be using chipset og gpu cooler, although I got those things as well. Thing is. How I put liquid in there? Isn't the pump kinda getting damaged if there's air in there when I turn it on?
And how cheap liquid can I get away with?
I was thinking of just buying distrilled water (used in batteries and stuff) and add some coolant that I use on my car also ? And a bit of that uv reactive stuff to check for leaks
