How do you get the air out?

[rodman]

I setup my Exos1 with a 300 cpu and 180 gpu cooler. The top quarter of the water block still has no coolant in it. How do I get that air pocket out of there?

[racinjimy]

run the pump (with the computer off) for a brief moment, that will circulate stuff around and let you continue to fill your loop

shake up the block !!!!!!!
or just twist the block so the air will go with the coolant flow and than it will find it's way out ....

P.S :
when you are doing it leave the systen open to let the air a place to run out !

I can't just shake up the block...It is attached to the rest of the pc :rolleyes: I suppose I could tip the rig upsidedown and all but...There has to be a proper way to get the air pocket out. The tank is so full if you take off the cap the coolant starts to come out. I filled it just like the instructions said :mad: CPU idle is the same along with the load temps, Can't imagine why :rolleyes: My GPU is WAYYY down though she is idling at 41 and pegged there. Not even 50 under load :cool: Now if I can only get the CPU block working :confused:

disassemble the block ??

or take all the HDD and the optical drives out and start the system and than shack the case :p:

can you give us a link so we will be ablr to see the system ?

I had to turn the pc upsidedown and start the pumps, worked well, lol. The temps did not change even though the block was only 3/4 full and now 100%. CPU temps remain the same as my xp-90 but my GPU temps are way down, thats good becouse this is what I was hoping for :D 2.6 on a 3500 winnie is fine, 450-1150 on my GT is freaking KILLER :cool: I have yet to hit 55c at those levels. I may opt for a volt mod since I have the green PCB and go for more.

I think that with the newer cooler running cores by AMD you don't really need water cooling, infact I bet any of you that are running 'higher' spec water cooling would find that a winnie or the like run no cooler with water V.S air. Then again I have a MSI Neo2 PL with bios 1.4 so the CPU temps are whacked to begin with. However I changed nothing and the board reports the same damb readings...Strange.

Did I mention I can't hear my pc anymore :woot:
