Stupid WCing...

[Sprite]

Well Ive got everything in my WCing loop setup, I put some coolant in the reservoir, turned it on and everything seemesd A-OK, however I now have 3 airbubbles, 1 in front of the pump inlet (ouch), 1 after the CPU block outlet and 1 after the Rad outlet. :help:

Any idea how to get rid of them ? Does this mean Ive messed up the flow direction or something btw ?

turn the pump off, let them float back to the highest point they can and then turn the pump on again, eventually they will find their way out into your res / t-line

you can also try rocking the case, be careful not to drop it.

Pic for you:

I found out that the outlet of the pump was going to the outlet of the CPU block, I changed this round but bubbles still occur, will try turning the pump on and off again in a min...

 

[deathwish]

make sure the res is higher than the other components so the air can escape from the tubing

And make sure the cap on the res is off so there is somewhere for the air to escape.

Ahaha, fixed it now, just kept switching the pump on and off, each time a few of the bubbles went.

Annoying thing is whenever I move the pump I get bubbles and have to do the whole thing again.

Think I'll wait until I get my drivebay res from ebuyer until I can get this sorted properly...

Thanks for all the help though :worship:

You'll still find that bubbles will work their way through your loop for a little while yet. If you want to speed up the process a little you can tip your case from side to side and front to back, but eventually they'll work their way out. )

Oh

s my MCP655 just started screeching at me when I left it upstairs, pray to god it isnt borked

BTW its slightly larger than I expected :/

Tap the tubes with your fingers fast and with a fair amount of force near and away from the bubbles to try and work them out. The pump has to be on when you're doing this.

LOL that's part of the price you pay when you buy something that seems really godly but isn't (sheesh I don't get the D5 fever over here)...hopefully its not a goner...with air bubbles inside the pump, it does like to screech.
