[Lope]

hehe, i'm quite amused, the other day i was really checking out the slimey blob lifeform stuff that accumulated mostly at the bottom of my PC in the hard drive waterblock, blobs of the stuff would break off and flow up the rig... so i started poking at it etc, and squeezing the pipe where the edge of it was, causing the whole blob to get sucked through and flow through the rig... well, there is no blob resiging there anymore, and my temps are good as new. its quite funny.
Its quite likely that the blob got stuck inside the resevior.

which by the way, i dont know how the hell i'm going to clean out.

so its a lot less urgent now, but i will be changing the water soon. there is a lot more air in my system than i'd like. since i filled this system up, i've aquired a really high powered pump, which i'll bootstrap in for filling/bleeding, that should force any trapped air out very nicely.
