My vote, a 1/32" hole. Takes 1 minute to do. No effect on cooling. As said quicker/more complete initial fill. Time is money

Drilled a 1/16" hole, filled it and ran it. Worked great without having to check it 12 times. Love the aspirin trick, sort of like the bread in the copper pipe at home. You learn something new every dang day!

If you're sweating together copper pipes and there is a little water trickle, you can shove bread in the pipe to hold back/suck up the water long enough to get the pipes soldered together.
The bread will dissolve when you turn the water back on.
