watsonte Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I always wondered why nobody (especially watercooling companies) made some plug you could just put over the end of the 24-pin cable...it'd cost all of $5, if that. Yeah...maybe they will come up with something....as more and more people go to water cooling something is bound to be made similar to what that little button does... Also CatKickers Stores were added.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I have a "yum-cha" (a.k.a. rubbish) 350W PSU from some old build that I have permanently set up with the green-black jump start mod to prime my system. I don't have to unplug all my components, only the pump. Most people would have something around that could perform this task. Another thing , you mentioned a number of methods for cutting the tubing - I use a pair of straight edge tin-snips cutters (usually they are the ones with yellow handles). They perform a perfect cut every time assuming they're sharp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having that spare PSU around thats a good Idea...really you dont need a good PSU to keep a pump and some fans running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
