hey guys, so i'm just trying to get my new loop put together and its not going well. in fact, im on the verge of throwing the lot out and going back to air cooling.
so ive installed part of the loop (couldnt install the gpu block and second rad, which was the entire point of this new loop, but nvm) and now there is LOADS of air trapped in the loop.
I'm thinking the pump may be broken, but im unsure.
annoyingly, this stupid res (i got the raystorm combo from frozencpu) has only a tiny gap in the res for air bubbles to drain. but all the bubbles are bigger than the gap itself, so they are just going straight back into the loop. after running the loop for just a few seconds, air gets trapped in the pump and it sounds LOUD. im worried that it may break the pump if its not already.
ive tried turning it off and on over and over, and ive shaken and jiggled every way i can. but theres still air circulating in the loop and it keeps getting stuck in the pump.
any help appreciated.
