Hi all, new pc gamer here

I got my new computer from OC and i am blown away compared to console gaming that i was used to.

My question is that i have a water loop and after the first day the water level in the reservoir slightly dropped, which is normal i believe, but after 2 weeks its slighty dropped again, is this normal?

Thanks

Original drop is normally air trapped in the system getting out and thus ends up in the res.


Most likely thing that it has happened twice is some other air bubble trapped in say a rad has now made it way out and escaped.

Just to be on the safe side get the case side off and have a good poke about, check for any damp patches, any idea where dusts seems to have stuck to the case, anything that looks dodgy.

If you had a leak, I think you would have noticed by now as the pc would have switched itself off :)

But lets be safe rather than sorry!

It's probably bubbles in the loop that have finally made their way to the reservoir, but just to be sure you should check the inside of the case for leaks.
