Can the air escape? i.e have you got a 3rd fitting on that res you can open?

There's no 3rd hole so to speak, however, there is the pipe that I'm using to fill the res which you can see in the video is empty so free for air to come up ?

Yes I see it, but is the res end of that submerged? If it is I don’t think the air can escape….however I may be wrong there. Worth a try though?

ETA - i’ve never filled my res like that via a pipe, always with a funnel.

i can see you using a third tube for filling via the top res port. is the filling tube open at the other end to allow the air to escape?

Yes it is open, it has a funnel on it, once the res is full the fill tube with funnel is empty free for air to escape.

Have you tried tilting the case around, yet?

Jamin280672 · 24 Jun 2022 at 07:42

Yes tried that, one of the air bubbles we t into the radiator, but when I gave the case a shake it came back out again.

Anyway, managed to get it sorted in the end, thankfully I'm not at work today as I was up until 2am fighting with it, 25 years of water cooling and never had this problem, I ended up taking everything apart, including the EK magnitude junk, it's had a small blockage in it, not enough to stop me filling the system, but was enough to stop the pump pushing the air out, once I cleaned it out and put everything back together, it's all working fine now.

Thanks for the help and suggestions though guys.
