bleeding xspc rasa rx360

[megamindstorm101]

So I finally built my computer (Maybe some of you have seen my lame questions in the forums before). and I used the XSPC Rasa 750 RX360 kit with blue primochill tubing (slightly purple) and black kink coils. Well when i went to bleed the system something weird I noticed... the tubing is extremely hard t osee through, I am unsure if I bled everything right basically when I had it running i just tilted the system every which way and then i would turn it off and on occasionally, also I turned it off and then flipped it all the way around in bios it idles at 19 degrees celcius (i have a 2700k) is that good? also how do I find out if there are still bubbles in the system.

should I bleed with the reservoir out of the computer because I had it in the whole time in the drive bays. I didnt ever tilt it fully flat on its back because that would expose the pump to no water and would cause it to burn out so I never did that while it was running but I did when it was off. anything I should do to check something?

lastly there are a TON of microbubbles in the res fromwhat I hear that is normal and will be gone within a week or so.

so basically did I bleed correctly? How do I find out when i cant really see through the tubes.

I am planning on overclocking this to like 4.5-5.0 ghz are there any temps I should look out for that might indicate I have bubbles in the system?

Other than all that this was a pretty great experiance, I got everything to fit nicely excpet the res, its a bit of a tight squeeze in the drive bay and I cant secure it with screws on the other side due to the way it is made, also only 1 of my tooless clips will hold the res in plcae. Its pretty stuck there so I think it should be fine but yeah in this corsair obsidian 800d the res is pretty much just chilling in the drive bay.

A lot of questions.

Try using a flaslight and see if there are big air bubbles in the tube. Push the anti kink to one side and try look trough. Your idle temps are great sp it seems to be working nicely. What are your load temps?

Does the water flow nicely into the res?

well I dont know if it flows nicely through the res I dont hear any weird gargling noises if thats what you mean.

I never tried it on load because I am doing 12 hour leak test, I only booted it up once to make sure it would post and i noticed in bios it idled at 19 degrees.

I will get ight onto checking to see if there are bubbles in the tubes by checking with a flashlight

1 more question. the reservoir/pump makes a tiny buzzing noise (if I were to have all the fans on I wouldn't be able to hear it but with just the PSU fan and the res pump on it is pretty obvious)>

Is that normal? I would think it is, also I think it may be amplified because it is not sitting in my case tightly screwed in and it is vibrating because i noticed the sound changed when i decided to try and pull it out a little bit, it got quieter so I think its just a minor sound I will have to put up with.

I must say I was impressed with the power of the fans this kit came with, i can clearly feel the air blowing much much more than the other 3 fans in this case. however my computer did get slightly louder than what it used to be, I feel like with every upgrade my computer gets a little louder

I have the pump, psu, 3 fans on rad, 3 case fans (though case fans have gromets and are rather quiet).

Alright after flashlight test what I see is in the tube going from the waterblock to the res in the part near the bottom where it kinda is slightly bent down all along the tube there are small tiny bubbles at the top, when I flick the tube they just chill there and I have no idea where they came from really but...like the res bubbles should I assume they will go away after a couple weeks?

yeah they'll go away after time I used the thump the tubing method to release them lol
