Air Bubble in cpu block ?

dave28 · 5 Jul 2013 at 22:40

I just made my first watercooling on my cpu and I`m not sure if it is flowing correctly and there is also a nasty air bubble in the cpu block. The rad has a bleed valve and I tried that, plus turned it off and on afew times like somebody said to try. The pump and reservoir are together in a single box design in the optical drive bays, should my rad be higher up than everything else because the only place this case has room for the rad is above the case lol.

Ya just need to tilt your case around to get bubbles out, just tilt the case untill the bubble is near the pipe, giv a quick blast of the pump, that will push it into ya rad, then just get the bubble to ya bleed valve and let it out or stick ya case on its side, so the bubble and work its way around ya rad and eventually down into ya res. Think of it as a puzzle game, getting the bubble into the res

.....you have it easy, i dont have a res, so i have to get all them bubbles out of a bleed valve or fill port.

Coollaboratory pro concentrate UV green. Mix it 1:9 with water.
The tubes are also UV reactive but I have no UV light yet, it will be interesting to see it light up, it looks abit flat now.
