hi

i am new to these forums, in the form of posting that is, now i have been water cooling for about a year and i have always used a el cheapo rio 180, until it recently failed on me (i knew it would happen). so to replace it i ordered a danner mag drive rated at 500 gph, a would be huge increase for me even with adding 3/8 barbs, but it seems to have a problem. everytime i start the pump it rattles around for a few seconds, sometimes minutes, before it actually kicks in and starts flowing at its normal rate, i have done the impeller quieter thingy, and i am wondering maybe it is just me with my bad job on connecting those but it seems odd because it can take a full 5 minutes to get started sometimes, any help with this would be much appreciated
