I am fuming right now so if I overheat, please try to look past it.
I had a spillage accident on my old pc and I was forced to replace it on very short notice. I wasn't looking for anything flash, just needed to replace it quicksmart as I had pressing work to do. Went into the store & pretty much picked the first box in sight, which ended up having Raijintek Triton something

Being new to watercooling and the store assistant being eager to make a sale, he didn't bother saying anything relevant about it. I was in a hurry, the store was closing soon so I didn't have time to debate specifics. First 4-5 months was fine, no problems at all.
Now all of the sudden for the past couple of weeks, air bubbles have been forming, causing the cpu temp to skyrocket on occasions. It's getting worse to the point I have to keep tilting the box around every few minutes if I use a memory-intensive program like a bluray ripper that goes for at least an hour each time.
When I'm not doing anything, the loop goes on like nothing ever happened. As soon as I start using a memory-intensive program, boom the air bubbles rear their ugly heads. The temperature skyrockets to the high 90s C and the program hangs. I bob the box up and down, sideways to get rid of the big blocker bubble, temp goes down to the 40s C within seconds. I resume the program, temp skyrockets again within 60 seconds. And here we go again.
I have a bad shoulder and I can't keep doing this dance. I've been tempted more than once to hurl the whole thing against the wall out of frustration & pain. Right now the loop is running like there's no tomorrow, temp is down to 34C but as soon as I resume the intensive task it's gonna hit the roof again.
I'm no pc expert by any means but even I would design a better closed loop to keep this damn thing from happening all the time. Unless of course that's their intention, to have people keep replacing this trash. I'm not sure if there's pump control settings and I wouldn't know where to find them. Can someone give me any tips before I give this piece of crap a good kick?
*EDIT*
There's no pump settings whatsoever in the bios, just for the fans. And I can't find any information on any utility software.
