Today i installed my first water cooling system(swiftech) and i want to ask if there is anything particular apart from leaks that I should be careful for now that is running? Can I test run it without the additive for 1-2 days? Thanks

it could be that at high speed it is drawing in water faster than its being fed therefore maybe getting starved and causing cavitation inside the pump, or you have bubbles still trapped in the pump wiggle your case around, when i use my D5 i find that running it on real low like 2 for a few hours get rid of all bubbles then up it, and 5 is slightly noisy on my D5 so i use 4 always

That is the sound of bubbles in the loop. It goes away after a few days running. I usually bleed for the first week or so to ensure no bubbles.


That sound comes from the pump. Also I have a bay res which is always full.
How can I bleed? i havent got a T line

I realise that, but bubbles flow around the loop. The pump makes that noise when the bubbles travel through it/get trapped in the impeller.

A bayres is very bad at bleeding. You need to leave the system open to air usually to bleed a lot quicker. Some people use a sponge type thing (you know those scourer like bath sponges) and stuff that in the res which traps bubbles.
