I finally got my system together today; mostly. I'm still waiting on the Radeon, but the suspense was too much. After an hour with the cooling system running (no leaks

), I just *had* to fire the beast up. An old 8Mb video card went into the AGP slot (enough to see the BIOS screen) and I powered up and went into the BIOS.

CPU temps (room temp 25C) in the 'CPU Health' panel were a steady 29C at 750/1.6v and 30C at 950/1.85v. For comparison, my K6-3 with a Gorb idles at 37C in bios at the same room temp.

And now a question: I'm running a 1:32 mix of water wetter and distilled water. When I started the pump, the coolant was pink. After a few hours, I noticied the liquid was almost clear. Does water wetter lose it's color over time, or has mine seperated out and sank to the bottom of the radiator?
