You may notice the T joint in the back of that picture. That's another idea I  borrowed from Joe, from this article.  I wasn't able to prime my pump the way mentioned in that article because  everything was already mounted in my case. One thing I did was while the pump was running, I turned that T upside down so that it would fill with water. The  idea is that the little air bubbles that get trapped in the system will eventually rise the to highest point in the system, which is the top of the line off that T, which just has a plug at the top. After the air bubbles were out,  while the water was still flowing through my pitcher of water, I added some water wetter to the system. (In my case, it was actually some generic fake water  wetter) This stuff is great because it prevents corrosion, prevents algae from  growing (just imagine trying to get seaweed out of a radiator), and it doesn't hurt the thermal conductivity of water any. I added about 3 tablespoons to that  pitcher you see there. Then I used a splicer to reconnect the hose.

As for the CPU, it's a week 24 Duron 650 on an Asus A7V. It REALLY didn't  want to do 1000, but with a little voltage  hack, I was able to get the CPU to do 1000 perfectly stable. It needed 2.24v. Which is .74v over default. I have an actual TBird 1000 on the way, which I intend to go past 1250 with, we shall see.

And what did all this get me? Well let me start by saying that these temperatures will look high, besides the fact that Athlon's run hot to begin  with, the A7V reads temperatures a lot higher than the Abit does, so if you have a KT7 board, add 15f to your temps. My temps air-cooled with a FOP32 with this same CPU at the same speed and voltage before I started was 142f under full  load. My full load temp is now 118f. Modest 24f savings. I do think I can go lower. I've already ordered a much more efficient waterblock from Danger Den. And one last picture, a screen shot showing the speed, voltage, and temp.

That about wraps this article up,  If you have Questions please post them on the ProCooling Forums (recommended), or Email UnaClocker directly.
