high GPU temp

My top card goes towards 80c wery quickly in IDLE in windows.

I put finger on waterblock and it burns my finger so the block in properly installed.

It has to be airpocket problem right?

When I tilt the PC on side so that the motherboard is against table I can see air go out of the gpu's into the cpu block and to reservoir.

However seems like anytime I do this air seems to go from res to pump and then finally back to the gpu block?!

I'm now running just the pump at level 5 and hoping for best in bleeding air.

trick is to tilt it to get air out but at same time not far enough to get air in try tilting in all directions and also helps to run full speed on pump then down to low and all points in between like ramp to 5 cut back to 3 back to 5 then even down to 1 give it a few seconds in each stop I find my D5 at 5 makes the water cavitate some and actually seems to add air in.

That's a good point I also suspect that at the level 5 it is too strong for bleeding.

I'm now over night going to run it at lowest speed level 1.

I suspect the air is actually hidden in the black bridge thing because it's abit difficutl to see the airbubbles sometime.

I'll propably start windows 7 tomorrow and hope it solved but I think I need to keep tilting the case tomorrow aswell, oh well.

sometime tapping the component helps as well. I thump my tubing all the time to dislodge bubbles.

According manual ports are interchangable, so I think the problem still is airpockets?
