Bubbles in reservoir, For 2 weeks

[prisonbreak931]

Hello, i have just installed a custom loop, heres a pic.



Since then, i have had bubbles in my reservoir, i have 2 pumps, going to my first rad, then to my second, then my cpu, then shud be going (whe i get them) to 2 5870 blocks, then back.

I have had the reservoir bledding and doesnt do anything, had that fora few days, i have turned off 1 pump and the bubbles reduce, but doesnt cure the problem fully, i have 2 mcp650, i have 2 for redundacy as my pc is on almost all the time, even when im out., so i dont want the pump to break and then my comp overheats, any help would be appreciated, i unfortunately cant get a good picture of the reservoir bbbles with the lighting thats in my case.

Are you feeding the reservoir only from the top? I can't quite see from the photo.

If so, think about this; take a bucket, fill the bucket with water flowing through the hose in a strong jet. Fill it with the hose end out of the bucket top and waterline, now lower the hose into the water.

Oh and I must ask, why are the radiator fans blowing into the case?

1) bubbles are mainly formed in the rad, this sounds like air is trapped in there.

Slow down your pumps while you do this. then tilt the PC backwards and forwards (i some times lay it on its side). this will help the air trapped in the Rad come out.

The rocking motion will release the air from the rad. What you must all ways remember bubbles all ways form at the highest point hence your rad is the problem.

Hey, the reservoir has 3 lines into it. The one at the bottom which goes to my pumps. The one at the side which is where the water is going in to it, and the one at the top which is just a fill port. Hope this helps.

Also would it be better to have the fans blowing out of the case, i thought having fresh air being pulled through the rad would be best.

You will only heat up all your other components inside the case,and the watercooling setup will build up heat,and is pointless.

Some more pics would help us,too help you

Flip the case upside down afew times and flick all the pipes with your finger nail, Squeeze the tube, Your RAD is above the Res so you will allmost allways get Air traped in them and also the CPU blocks, You might have todo this afew times, Then after run the pump for 20 seconds or so then flip again, Reapeat 3-4 times, You will need help maybe to flip the case i sure as hell can't lift my systems they weight as much as i do,.
