Evening folks.

So approx, 3 weeks now I have had this setup and plumbed in.
Its been running great, CPU between 30 - 60, GPU between 29 - 45.
At the moment I am having to top-up the Distro plate once per week.

I have had the computer on its, side, on its back, forwards etc to make sure all the bubbles are out but for some reason the water level still decreases.

I am using EK Cryo azure blue, having UV additive in it I thought would be a good idea as it would allow me to see any leaks easier under UV Light, but checking all the connections, there are no leaks what so ever...

Any ideas what is happening to the liquid?

If, gently, moving the case to every possible position, and no bubbles noticed, could be some very small leak somewhere, unnoticed until now.
The best bet is, using paper towel, wrap very small strips of it around every fitting, just to make sure. If it gets wet, voilà.
During this, running the pump at its maximum speed for few days may help to flush most of the air, if any still trapped. While running, I would also, as long as it’s safe to do so, open the filling port of the district to allow any pressure to balance.
Depending on your system, rad displacement, some time is required to bleeding it.
I don’t know about your whole setup, but if you’re using a side tad on the O11, if the ports are at the bottom, will take quite some time to get rid of the air.
 
Cheers for the reply Drumroll

Top and Bottom Radiators only 2 x 240.
Yeah I may go the route of toilet paper and see what happens, but I thought the UV would show up and would be a better indicator where the leaks would be.
Pump is running Approx 50% 18 Hours every day
