Water Cooling Help!

[G473R]

I got everything setup, cut my tubes, everything is ready to go. So I hook up my water cooling system to do my test run on it. It's not pumping water through it. I have a swiftech MCP350 pump, a danger den 80mm radiator, a thermaltake block for my 805D, and a 5.25 reservoir that the pump sits with. I ran all the tubing, connected everything, filled the reservoir, and turned it on. It's not pumping any water from the reservoir or anything it just stays full. I know the pump is running cuz I hear it. I dunno what I am doing wrong, this is my first time ever doing water cooling so I might have messed something up. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it, thanks.

Please tell me that the reservior is right before the pump in the loop and is higher than the pump? tip the computer so that water travels down the tube into the pump BEFORE you turn it on. Also please tell me that you have power only to the pump and not to the rest of the system as you are testing for leaks?

PUMP CANT RUN WITHOUT WATER OR IT WILL DIE!!!!!

I dont care where the res is its not important.... although it does help (nubes) if its before the pump.... but not absoutly nessary.

Tilt the res move the tubes and make sure there is water going into the pump.

If you think pump is dead just test it in a kitchen sink, with a hot wired PSU. (Thats what I did when I was a nube)
