watercooling help please :)

I'm helping a friend out with his PC and its been ages since I've touched one.
I've filled the loop but i can't seem to get the air out of the loop? D5 res combo, I've doubled checked loop order seems fine, it's driving me mad, it just doesn't seem to flow smoothly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have the same set up as your friend, rad on the top and front. Presuming that the reservoir etc. is fully closed, just tilt slowly to extreme angles front, back side to side.

can i see your using a bay res, tubing heading towards the front of the case, if that is so that is the reason for it, its the reason i stopped using them. they are a pitta to bleed.

you could try man handling the case turnign it various ways, side to to side tip up then down ect.

Thanks for your'e replies

I have a bay res, I ended up turning it on the back and side to fill it. Was a pain.

When bleeding a loop put the pump at max rpm tilt from side to side keep a eye on coolant level as it forces the air round a lot better to res..

Iv'e added more pictures as its gotten better, but i swear i cant see any flow? have i set it up wrong? pump is on max, maybe something wrong with it, its brand new. On another note i'm using a QDC koolance round the back, how much does this restrict flow?

Its hard to see the flow once the loop is full, shine a torch on it and watch really carefully.
