I have been water cooled for about 3 weeks now. I noticed the water level in my riser tube (1/2" silicon tubing) has dropped about 4".
What up what this? I realize that air had to work it's way out but this seems a little more than I expected. I topped it off after the first day up.
Second, I am getting an odor off the setup's hoses. I think it is just the silicon tubing. Sometimes I think it might be the water wetter reacting with the tubing.
Unfortunately I have sinus issues and certain smells bother me more than than people that don't.
I checked for leaks, btw, got none that I can see or feel. I read somewhere that liquid acutally makes it way through the silicon tubing, that stuff is thick, I wonder how that could be?
Your thoughts and smells

appreciated.
