YAY OHHH YEA! lol
but yea a random question for every one, like do i hav eto bleed my system to the point where there are NO bubbles?......and again thanks for everyones help!

did you doa 24hour leak test? with the water system out of the pc? that is highly advised, or at the very least only run the pump if already installed. if you using a die in the coolent you can wrap paper towal around each join and that should tell you its not leaking.

umm as far as bubbles go i've heard since there is a res in the system its find, they will collect in there. just top it up if its starts getting low. did you end up flipping the rad so the barbs are at the top of the case? if not then you probably have air trapped at the top of the rad. i read moving the case around helps to get rid of bubbles too.

its all installed but theres nothing in the case cep that and the psu plus im using a non-conductive coolant.....and yes the 24 hr test is under way as i type

[Spawn-Inc]

awesome, hope it all works out for ya.

I definately agree with spawn, drilling holes to provide a straight shot into the case from the rad barbs would eliminate the issue. Also, what type of tubing are you using? Tygon? Some materials king more easily than others.

[rebelliont56]

im using tygon...and the system is already done..so i guess ill upload some pics when i get a chance then,well this thread is kinda done unless other ppl have questions

[dgrmkrp]

Well... Is the pump fixed to the case somehow? Cause you could gently (not that gentle tho) shake the case and try turning it around, rotating it as shaking.. especially if you have the barbs opposite to where air could be trapped..

[rebelliont56]

yea its attached wia velcrow so its all good ive put it on its sidebut then like the tiny bit of air in the res ends up going into the system again and then bam i went backwards lol
