Custom loop bubble

Hi everyone.

So I've just built my new loop and I've run in to a new issue.

This is the first loop where I have used a top port as an inlet.

I'm using the EKWB X3 multi port top and (obviously) a tube inside so I don't have a waterfall effect.

So I filled the loop and it is currently bleeding/leak testing.

But while I was trying to get bubbles out. Turning PSU on/off, shaking case etc.

I saw quite a big bubble that is hanging in the tube inside the res.

Is there anyway of moving this?
When I turn the PSU off it moves up and almost in to the radiator where there is a bend to get in to the rad.

BTW im using a HAF Stacker and I have 2x360mm rads in the top 'compartment.

I've tried small, quick shakes of the case, leaning the case, turning PSU on/off quickly.

Any other tips anyone can think of to get this thing out.

As I said it is quite a big one.

Any advise would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Ben.

Ok, update to this: The bubble mentioned has gone (Hooray!) problem is there has been another bubble the whole time- in the top of the CPU block-EK supremacy.

Any thoughts?

I got the other one out by a lot of tilting the case!

Some bubbles can take a good while to work em selves out through the loop. Sometime the pump at varying speeds can help move em as well.

Hi,
Thanks for replying, my pump is pwm, so would you say to power on PC completly and go in to BIOS and do it there?
Thanks

That's the bubble.

That's how i'd do it... bubbles in the loop can be stubborn as Hell.

Alright, will give that a go tomorrow, thanks!

I would recompile your code then if there is a bubble in the loop lol jk
