Hello,

I built my first water cooling loop yesterday using the XSPC Raystorm RX240 kit. Leak test didn't fail and I ran for approx 5 hours. However there are lots of bubbles in the loop which I cant seem to get rid of. A few big bubbles. I've power cycled and tilted case but it doesn't seem to be working and is running loudly.

When I tilt the case in the direction of the motherboard tray bubbles appear to be gone and pump runs silently. I currently have the bay res/pump filled up to about 3/4(ran out of water).

Any tips or strategies for the community would be very much appreciated and my rig is now louder than it was on air!


Thanks in advance,
Shadow-King

EDIT: The bay/res Pump combo is this the link below. The rest of the kit is the

Raystorm CPU block
RX240 rad
XSPC Clear 7/16" Hose
G1/4 to 1/2 Barb x 6

Using a Bay res. Im at work so cant reply too much. Gonna try lying it on its side and cycling power next. I have 2 spare PSUs in the room so its not a problem to start turning stuff upside down.

Does anyone think I need more water in the loop?
 
Thanks for all the advice everyone! Loop has been running silently all evening. Had to top it up a little and add some biocide but its alll good now :)
