Bubble advice

hey folks had my loop up and running for 2 weeks or so but recently i've been getting a bubble form on a large curved bit of tubing going between the cpu out and the res.

checked all the compression fittings and there are no leaks at all, the system i wuld of hoped should be fully bled by now but i'm continually tilting it etc to ensure that it is. Any ideas why this may be happening???

Have you tried pinching the tubing while the pump is running?

Yeah, squeeze the tubing a little bit and tilt the case in all sort of directions to help get these bubbles to the reservoir.

To be honest, it's probably air that was still in the system before and it's just decided to sit there.

Pinched tubing between the 2 rads and tilted rad quite a lot cleared this bubble but another one will appear over night, hoping it is just air slowly bleeding out.

I had to basically turn my PC upside down before all the air was expelled to the reservoir. air will always travel to the highest point , so unless all your rads have the unions at the top and your reservoir is the highest point you need to tip that case left right and upside down with the pump running to get it all out.
