yes you can right from new even as they're not filled completely to the top but as they age liquid will permeate out of the hose's over time causing even more air in the loop and by having your tubes at the top which where all the air will congregate it can start sucking air into the line

Watch this from GN

Just got this from CEX to have a piss about with, looked interesting. anyone else got/used one?

8BitZ80 · Sep 24, 2020

Today I upgraded my main system, and I'm very excited about this one because I rarely do these major upgrades.

Old specs: Core i5 4670K, Asus Z97-E, 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133MHz
New specs: Ryzen 3 3100, Asus B550-F, 32GB GSkill Ripjaws V 3600MHz

I expect to use this mobo and ram to be serving in my main machine for the next 10 years, so I'll be on this platform for the long term.
The new board looks sexy as hell, onboard audio is amazing and even the budget Ryzen 3100 that I'm using (until Zen 3 arrives) is running games like a champ.

Got these that came in from both Canada and China:

Me too but this was a gift for my mom as she loved the show (only cause woman though David Cassidy was hot).

But I did like the music and still do.

The Stream deck helped greatly in MSFS however 6 buttons wasn't enough so I bought the middle version.

I just bought this 4 TB WD Purple drive to replace a failed unit in my Folding and Crunching PC.

Aquinus · Sep 26, 2020

Speakers to replace my 15 year old ones and a 4TB drive to use as a time machine backup for the MacBook Pro.

When I wanted decent audio quality, I usually switched to something that isn't speakers. I needed speakers to connect to my old 4k display to play Nintendo Switch with my daughter. I ended up liking them more than the ones I use with the tower and laptop.
